Zacatecas Silver Corp. Reports Initial Rock-Chip Sampling Results from Oso Negro Project

Completion of Initial Sampling Program

Zacatecas Silver Corp. has officially announced the completion of its initial rock-chip sampling program at the Oso Negro project, located in the state of Sonora, Mexico. The program was designed to evaluate the surface potential of the project's epithermal vein system, which covers a significant strike length within the company's land package.

Key Findings and Mineralization

The sampling program focused on identifying high-grade zones within the known vein structures. According to the company, the results confirm the presence of precious metals across multiple zones. Key highlights from the sampling include:

• Identification of high-grade silver and gold values in surface outcrops.
• Confirmation of the continuity of the epithermal vein system.
• Validation of historical data through modern geochemical analysis.

The company noted that these results are consistent with the geological model for the region, which is known for hosting significant epithermal deposits.

Strategic Implications for Oso Negro

The data gathered from this program is intended to refine the company's understanding of the structural controls on mineralization at Oso Negro. By mapping these surface results, Zacatecas Silver Corp. aims to prioritize specific areas for follow-up exploration, including potential trenching and future diamond drilling. Management stated that the results 'provide a solid foundation for the next phase of exploration' as they continue to advance the project.

Next Steps

With the initial sampling phase concluded, the technical team is currently integrating these results into the project's geological database. This integration will assist in defining high-priority drill targets. The company remains committed to exploring the Sonora asset, which is considered a key component of its broader portfolio in Mexico.
