Defiance Silver Begins Drilling at San Acacio Silver Deposit

Defiance Silver Corp. (TSXV:DEF) announced that it’s begun a 1,500-meter drill program at its Mexico-based San Acacio silver deposit.
The program will focus on expanding the existing resource at the deposit — it currently sits at 17.9 million silver equivalent ounces contained in 2,902 MT grading 192.5 g/t silver equivalent.
As quoted in the press release:

Drilling will build upon the recent discovery of significant silver and base metal mineralization below the limits of the current resource. The focus continues to be on the lowest risk/highest reward portion of the exploration potential at San Acacio by drilling along the 1.0 kilometer of old workings. Mineralization is open both to depth and along strike.

Bruce Winfield, president and CEO of Defiance, commented:

We are very excited to be drilling again and look forward to further expanding the wide zones of high grade mineralization we intercepted earlier in the year.
