(TSXV: $SIL.V; NYSE: $SILV) Expands High-Grade Granaditas Vein, Discovers New
Vein
Vancouver, British Columbia - August 23, 2018
(Investorideas.com Newswire) SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV:
SIL.V; NYSE
American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce new drill results for the Granaditas
and the new Granaditas Dos Vein on the Las Chispas Property (the
"Property") located in Sonora, Mexico. The compilation of these new
drill holes expands the high-grade footprint for the Granaditas Vein and
introduces the Granaditas Dos Vein (see attached Figures). These veins are
approximately 40 metres apart and may intersect to the southeast. As previously
reported, there are now 30 known epithermal veins on the Property, including 12
significant veins which have drill-intersected high-grade mineralization,
consisting of the Babicanora, Babicanora Footwall, Babicanora Norte, Las
Chispas, Giovanni including La Blanquita, William Tell, Varela, Granaditas,
Granaditas Dos, Luigi and Amethyst veins. Five of the 30 veins have been
included in the maiden resource (refer to "Technical Report and Mineral
Resource Estimate for the Las Chispas Property, Sonora, Mexico", effective
February 12, 2018 and amended May 9, 2018). SilverCrest expects at least eight
veins to be included in the resource update expected in Q3 2018.
N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng and CEO, remarked,
"With this expansion of the Granaditas Vein and discovery of the
Granaditas Dos Vein, we continue to increase our near-surface high-grade
footprint in the Las Chispas district. There are several other veins adjacent
to the Granaditas reported veins and further drilling may indicate high-grade
continuity with additional discoveries to be announced in this area.
Conceptually, all high-grade veins discovered to date in the Babicanora and
Granaditas areas could have shared underground infrastructure with benefits to
mine sequencing and cost savings. It is our intention to include eight veins in
the proposed updated resource planned for Q3 2018. The updated resource is to
include the new 2018 discoveries of the Granaditas, Babicanora Norte and Luigi
veins as well as expansions to the previously defined veins (Babicanora
including Area 51, Babicanora FW, Las Chispas, Giovanni including La Blanquita,
and William Tell).
The most significant result for this release was
returned from Hole GR18-15 in the Granaditas Vein, which intersected 1.3 metres
(est. true width) grading 4.2 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold and 229.0
gpt silver, or 543 gpt silver equivalent ("AgEq", based on 75 (Ag):1
(Au) calculated using long-term silver and gold prices of US$18.50 per ounce
silver and US$1,225 per ounce gold, with average metallurgical recoveries of
86.6% silver and 98.9% gold), including 0.5 metres grading 1,274 gpt AgEq. Also
noteworthy is Hole GR18-15 in an unnamed vein, which intersected 1.4 metres
grading 2.5 gpt Au, 799.0 gpt Ag or 988 gpt AgEq including 0.6 metres grading
2,530 gpt AgEq. The following table summarizes the most significant drill
intercepts (uncut, undiluted) for the Granaditas, Granaditas Dos and Unnamed veins:
Granaditas Vein;
Granaditas Dos (2) Vein;
Unnamed Vein(s) in Granaditas Area;
Note: all numbers are rounded.
*AgEq based on 75 (Ag):1 (Au) calculated using long-term silver and gold prices of US$18.50 per ounce silver and US$1,225 per ounce gold, with average metallurgical recoveries of 86.6% silver and 98.9% gold.
†Previously announced intercept (refer to news release dated October 19, 2017).
** Previously announced (refer to Company's news release dated June 12, 2018).
All assays were completed by ALS Chemex in
Hermosillo, Mexico, and North Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Results for drill holes GR18-14, 16, 18 are below the
Company's cutoff of 150 gpt AgEq in any vein reported and outside the
Granaditas Vein high-grade footprint.
The Granaditas and Granaditas Dos veins consist of
southeastward plunging high-grade mineralization similar to the adjacent
Babicanora and Babicanora Norte veins. Mineralization consists of a 0.3 to 1.8
metre wide (estimated true) banded quartz-argentite-pyrite veins and stockwork,
dipping at an estimated 75° southwest. Unnamed mineralized intercepts are
adjacent to known veins and may be named in the future depending on further
drilling success.
The high-grade footprint in the Granaditas Vein
currently measures approximately 200 metres long by 200 metres high (see
attached Figures) and is open in most directions. The high-grade footprint in
the Granaditas Dos (2) Vein currently measures approximately 100 metres long by
100 metres high and is open in most directions. Further drilling for potential
expansion of the high-grade footprints at Granaditas is ongoing and additional
assays will be reported once compilation is complete.
The Company continues with its Phase III drill
program of expansion drilling on several new and partially-drilled high-grade
mineralized veins. A majority of drilling is now complete for inclusion in the
upcoming revised resource. Other ongoing site work includes continued
underground mapping and sampling on the Las Chispas Vein, permitting for
various additional work, and review of the maiden resource model for
optimization and update.
