VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 22, 2022 /CNW/ - GR Silver Mining Ltd. ("GR Silver Mining" or the "Company") (TSXV: GRSL) (OTCQB: GRSLF) (FRANKFURT: GPE) – reports the Company's unaudited financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 are available under the Company's SEDAR profile on www.sedar.com or on GR Silver's website www.grsilvermining.com.
Highlights of Q3|2022
- During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, GR Silver Mining drilled 126 underground and surface holes totalling 5,757.0 m at the Plomosas Mine, and 49 surface holes totalling 5,677.6 m at San Marcial.
- On August 8, GR Silver Mining announced discovery of wide, high-grade silver mineralization approximately 250 m southeast of the southernmost boundary of the San Marcial Resource Area, in an area known as the Southeast Area ("SE Area"). Hole SMS22-10 intersected 101.6 m at 308 g/t Ag (from 98.5 m down hole), including multiple intervals grading over 1,000 g/t Ag. Subsequent drilling, announced in the news releases of September 7 and October 17, demonstrates the geometry, lateral extent and continuity of the new zone along strike to the southeast of this hole, in which silver-rich mineralization is hosted in breccia and intense hematite-quartz stockwork veining. The Company continues to identify additional targets on this part of the San Marcial Property, utilizing geophysical, geochemical and geological mapping studies, and will continue to test the lateral extent of high-grade Ag mineralization along the target contact. The Company anticipates drilling will continue with two rigs over the coming months in the SE Area of San Marcial.
- After delivery of the Plomosas Mine and San Juan Areas Mineral Resource Estimate in August 2021, GR Silver Mining embarked on a program of surgical infill drilling in the Plomosas Mine Area, to replace some of the historical holes used in the estimate that were selectively sampled, as well as to test new near-surface and underground high-grade Ag-Au mineralized zones. News releases on April 27, May 24, September 12 and October 31 detailed results from this successful program, which continues with three rigs. The Company has released the results from 105 new holes (5,523 m), which demonstrate new discoveries in several un-mined zones in the primary polymetallic hydrothermal breccia, as well as newly discovered footwall and hanging wall precious metal mineralization associated with cross cutting faults (e.g., hole PLI22-23: 44.5 m at 518 g/t AgEq - 268 g/t Ag, 1.0 g/t Au, 2.4% Pb, 1.7% Zn, 0.2% Cu).
- On August 30, the Company closed a best-efforts brokered private placement offering, issuing 36,263,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.15 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,439,450, including 2,929,000 units sold pursuant to the partial exercise of the option granted to the agents. Each unit consisted of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share for a period of 36 months following the closing of the Offering at an exercise price of $0.22 per common share.
- As at September 30, 2022, the Company held cash of $3.6 M. Management is of the opinion that the delivery of the mineral resource estimate update for the combined Plomosas Project, integrating the Plomosas Mine and San Marcial Areas, is on track for delivery in the first quarter of 2023.
GR Silver Mining Chairman and CEO, Eric Zaunscherb comments "In the year to date, GR Silver has successfully advanced the Plomosas Project with purposeful drilling and resultant new mineralization discoveries incremental to the existing mineral resource estimates. We have been able to advance the project as a result of the skills of our excellent team in Mexico, the support of our capital markets partners that helped the company to attract new capital, and the welcome support of our new and existing shareholders. We are excited about the integrated mineral estimate to come, as well as the results of ongoing exploration in the new year."
