Acquisition of Joaquin Silver District Completes

Unico Silver Limited (“USL” or the “Company”) refers to the announcement on 20 August 2024 regarding the proposed acquisition of Minera Joaquin S.R.L, the 100% owner of the mineral claims that make up the Joaquin project, and the 100% acquisition of the mineral titles that make up the Cerro Puntudo project (collectively the “Joaquin Project”).


Following the satisfaction of all required approvals and consents, and execution of final definitive legal agreements between Pan American Silver Corp. (“PAAS”) and USL, the Company is pleased to advise that it has completed the acquisition of the Joaquin Project.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 100% acquisition of two contiguous properties (Joaquin and Cerro Puntudo) totalling 35,G46Ha.
  • Joaquin contains a historical Foreign Estimate1 of 16.7Mt at 136gpt silver equivalent (AgEq2) for 73Moz AgEq (68Moz Ag, 64koz Au) in the La Negra and La Morocha deposits.
  • Strategically located 60km west of USL’s G1Moz AgEq Cerro Leon resource2 and portfolio, enhancing future development options, with added scale and economics.
  • Historical Foreign Estimates exclude adjacent Cerro Puntudo mineral properties which host the along strike extensions of the La Negra and La Morocha deposits.
  • USL is planning a comprehensive exploration program on four advanced prospects, aiming to boost current Foreign Estimates and publish a maiden JORC (2012) MRE.
  • Historical drill holes that fall outside the current resource:
    • La Negra Feeder: 4.5m at 16GGgpt Ag, 22gpt Au from 272m
    • La Negra Extension: 3m at 2723gpt Ag, 4.1gpt Au from 54m
    • La Morocha Extension: 8m at 226gpt Ag, 0.5gpt Au from 189m
  • Cerro Puntudo is host to numerous vein targets (Brunilda, La Esmeralda, Isabella) with high silver gold values at surface that are untested by drilling.
  • The transaction includes camp infrastructure and a mining and access agreement valid until 2034.
  • Upfront consideration of USD$2m funded from existing cash reserves, with future payments of USD$2m on publication of an economic study supporting a mineral resource at the Joaquin project and USD$8m on commercial production.

Silver47 Beefs Up Drilling Plans to Expand Resource at Red Mountain Polymetallic Project

Following release of the final results from Silver47 Exploration's (TSXV:AGA) 2024 exploration program, the company is beefing up plans for a more expansive and targeted drill campaign in the new year at its flagship Red Mountain project in Alaska. Alex Wallis, vice president of exploration, said the aim is to “increase both the grade and the tonnage."

“With the modern drilling and the recoveries we saw this year, we have a really good chance to increase just from infilling the historic zones to really bulk that resource out as well,” he said.

Approximately 20 percent of future drilling efforts will focus on fresh exploration targets like Galleon and Horseshoe, according to Wallis. The company is eyeing more than 15 exploration targets at Red Mountain that have never been drill tested with geochemical and geophysical targeting.
