Dr.
Cantex is pleased to report results from the 5 drill holes completed at the Discovery and Central Sectors of the
Discovery Sector
All four holes drilled at the Discovery Sector intersected mineralization. These holes, drilled from pad MZ54 include a 8.35 metre interval on hole YKDD23-279 which contained 24.5g/t silver, 7.68% lead and 5.05% zinc. These results are presented in Table 1 and the pad locations are presented in Figure 1.

Central Sector
The final hole of the 2023 season was drilled from pad MZ33 in the Central Sector. It consistently intersected mineralization between 429.25 and 538.60 metres. High grade intercepts include 1.40 metres of 19.4 g/t silver, 6.43% lead and 24.15 percent zinc and 2.85 metres of 72.10 g/t silver, 8.77% lead and 16.30% zinc. These results are contained in Table 2.

The intervals above are being sent for germanium analysis. The results will be reported when received.
Three holes drilled at the Extension Sector did not intersect significant mineralization.
2024 Drill Program
The Company is pleased to announce the 2024 drill plan for the North Rackla project. Drilling with one drill will commence in early June at the
A second drill will be added in mid June, which will commence testing in the northeast of the Discovery Sector of the
Sample Preparation
The drill holes reported in this press release were drilled using HQ (63.5mm) diamond drill bits. The core was logged, marked up for sampling and then divided into equal halves using a diamond saw on site. One half of the core was left in the original core box. The other half was sampled and placed into sealed bags which were in turn placed into larger bags closed with security seals prior to being transported to
At CF Minerals the drill core was dried prior to crushing to -10 mesh. The samples, which averaged over 3kg, were then mixed prior to splitting off 800g. The 800g splits were pulverized to -200 mesh and a 250g split was sent for assay. Quality control procedures included running a barren sand sample through both the crusher and pulveriser between each sample to ensure no inter-sample contamination occurred. Silica blanks were inserted along with certified reference samples. These quality control samples were each inserted approximately every 20 samples.
