[{"type":"text","content":"Drilling Returns High Grade Silver, Expands New Zone of Mineralization at Defiance Silver's Zacatecas ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 7, 2021) - Defiance Silver Corp. (TSXV: DEF) (OTCQX: DNCVF) (FSE: D4E) (\"Defiance\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update to the ongoing drill program, including the discovery of wide, high-grade zones of mineralization outside of the existing resource area at the San Acacio project in Zacatecas, Mexico.Highlight of ResultsDDSA-21-48 - Returned very high grades and wide widths of silver in the main zone of the Veta Grande structure, including 20.97m of 144.00 g/t Ag or 179 g/t AgEq (from 142.20m - 163.17m), including 1.63m of 597.29 g/t Ag or 665 g/t AgEq (from 153.27m - 154.90m) and 0.60m of 1460.00 g/t Ag or 1574 g/t AgEq (from 154.30 - 154.90m). DDSA-21-47 - Tested the main Veta Grande structure near to known workings and returned 3.50m of 274.50 g/t Ag or 362 g/t AgEq (from 128.50m - 132.00m). Further down hole, drilling encountered historical workings which resulted in poor recovery (less than 20%) that returned 12.0m of 183.03 g/t Ag or 289 g/t AgEq (from 132.00m - 144.00m). DDSA-21-46 - Returned 3.15m of 212 g/t AgEq (from 225.65m - 228.80m) within a base-metal rich zone in a hole that was designed to test structural targets at depth. Chris Wright, Chairman & CEO, commented, \"The 2021 drilling campaign so far has successfully demonstrated up-dip and down-dip continuity of the main Veta Grande vein-structure outside of the current resource estimate, and the wide widths and high grades that we have continually encountered in the Almaden Zone further demonstrate the resource building potential at the San Acacio area of our Zacatecas district project.\"Overview MapsFigure 1 - The Zacatecas project.
