Denarius Metals Announces Final Results from the Infill Drilling Program Completed in 2024 at Its Zancudo Project in Colombia, Confirming High-grade Mineralization on Multiple Veins and the Discovery of a New Manto Vein at the Las Brisas Target

In This Article:

Highlights from the 2024 Infill Drilling Program at the Las Brisas Target include:

  • Multiple high gold and silver grade intercepts were intersected in most of the infill drill holes completed on the Las Brisas vein, confirming the continuity of the mineralization on the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina veins and also better delineating a northerly-trending ore-shoot at the intersection of the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina veins which is still open along strike.

    • 18.27 g/t Au and 1,819 g/t Ag over 0.30 m from 135.8-136.1 m, hole ZM-185, Manto Antiguo

    • 23.11 g/t Au and 1,653 g/t Ag over 0.40 m from 143.0-143.4 m, hole ZM-193, Manto Antiguo

    • 14.0 g/t Au and 96 g/t Ag over 0.70 m from 129.10-129.80 m, hole ZM-190, Santa Catalina

    • 17.20 g/t Au and 101 g/t Ag over 0.30 m from 94.70-95.0 m, hole ZM-192, Santa Catalina

  • A new manto (flat-lying) vein named Manto Brisas was discovered in the footwall of the Santa Catalina vein and close to the Manto Antiguo vein.

    • 12.12 g/t Au and 93 g/t Ag over 0.50 m from 164.9-165.4 m, hole ZM-185, Manto Brisas

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2025) - Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) ("Denarius Metals" or the "Company") provided an update today on the drill results from its surface infill diamond drilling program completed in the second half of 2024 at the Company's second priority target, Las Brisas, at its Zancudo Project in Colombia. The results announced today have been received from the final assays for 13 drill holes from the Las Brisas Target totaling approximately 2,435 meters bringing the total drilling completed in 2024 at the Zancudo Project to 7,225 meters in 45 drill holes.

The 2024 infill drilling program was designed at 50x50 meters drill centers and was aimed at upgrading Inferred Resources to the Indicated Resources category and to support near term mine development. The 2024 drilling program focused on two priority areas, Los Albertos and Las Brisas, which contain most of the existing mineral resources. The drilling program designed for the first priority target, Los Albertos, commenced in late April 2024 and was completed in late July 2024. Final results from 4,790 meters of drilling completed in 32 drill holes at the Los Albertos Target were announced in a press release on September 10, 2024. The drilling program at the Las Brisas Target was carried out in the second half of 2024 with one drill rig.

Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman of Denarius Metals, commented, "We are very pleased with the drilling results achieved at the Las Brisas Target, which reinforce that systematic, more tightly spaced, infill drilling has produced very positive results similar to those previously achieved at the Los Albertos Target. In addition, the discovery of a new mineralized manto vein close to the Manto Antiguo vein introduces a new player in the future exploration plan for the Las Brisas Target. These results confirm the results from previous drilling campaigns and have better delineated a high-grade ore shoot, which is still open along strike, within the main Manto Antiguo vein that significantly de-risks the future production at the Zancudo underground operation. We look forward to completing an updated Mineral Resource estimate incorporating the 2024 drilling program results in the third quarter this year. As previously announced, we have recently commenced mining operations at our Zancudo Project. As we continue to ramp up our production rate at Zancudo, we will support our mine development with an ongoing exploration program aimed at the continued expansion of the high-grade resources at the Zancudo Project."
