San Marcial

San Marcial is a near-surface, high-grade silver deposit. GR Silver Mining recently expanded its NI 43-101 resource estimate at the San Marcial Area, which now contains 52 million ounces silver equivalent including 46 million ounces silver (Indicated) and 16 million ounces silver equivalent including 14 million ounces silver (Inferred). The application of modern exploration techniques and the Company's geological model resulted in a new high-grade silver discovery in the southeast extension from the previous resource area. The SE Area discovery is characterized by hydrothermal breccia-style mineralization, which is associated with a flexure in the target contact that is affected by a pair of northeast-southwest trending faults. GR Silver Mining is currently carrying out additional surface drilling to the southeast of the SE Area discovery aiming to continue resource expansion.
