SILVER ELEPHANT PREPARES 12-HOLE DRILL PROGRAM AT PACA SILVER PROJECT IN BOLIVIA

Silver Elephant Mining Corp. is preparing a drilling program at the Paca silver oxide open-pit deposit, which is part of the company's 100-per-cent-controlled Pulacayo silver-lead-zinc project in Bolivia.

This drill program is a follow-up to the successful 2022 drill program (see March 29, 2022 news release) highlighted by PND 123 which was collared at the northern edge of the Paca resource and drilled farther north. The hole intercepted 27 meters of 159 g/t silver from near-surface, including 1.5 meters of 565 g/t silver*. All four step-out holes drilled in 2022 (PND 123, 124, 125 & 126) intercepted silver mineralization. They also demonstrated that the northern extension of Paca oxide resource is open to the north and to the northeast.

The proposed 12-hole Paca drill program totals 1,510 meters. Eight drill holes target further expansion to Paca North oxide discovery, based on available drilling, mapping, sampling, and geophysical data. Two drill holes will test the east and west extensions of the Paca main zone. The two remaining drill holes will test Induced-Polarization anomalies located southeast of the Paca Dome.

"Paca project development is being fast-tracked given current high silver price ($23/oz). In particular, Paca North's shallow oxide resource and flat-tabular morphology are well-suited to a potential open-pit operation with low processing cost. The 2023 Pulacayo-Paca plan includes a prefeasibility study and continued environmental permitting efforts for an open-pit mining, oxide leach processing operation at Paca which can later transition to sulphide flotation processing," commented John Lee, CEO of Silver Elephant.

The 2022 Paca drill results are summarized in the following table:

The Paca deposit contains an indicated 37 million oz of silver and an inferred 6 million oz of silver, much of it regarded as a manto-style deposit. Most of the near-surface mineralization at Paca is classified as an oxide-silver resource containing an indicated 5.9 million oz of silver at 231g/t (800,000 tonnes) and an inferred 1.2 million oz of silver at 159g/t (235,000 tonnes).

The Paca deposit is 7 kilometers north of the Pulacayo deposit (the Tajo vein). It is part of the global Pulacayo resource, which contains an indicated resource of 106.7 million oz of silver, 1.38 billion pounds of zinc, and 690 million pounds of lead and an inferred resource of 13.1 million oz of silver, 123 million pounds of zinc, and 62 million pounds of lead.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Silver Elephant adopts industry-recognized best practices in its implementation of QA/QC methods. Rock chip samples average between 5-7 kilograms. Samples are shipped to ALS Global Laboratories in Oruro, Bolivia for preparation and then shipped to ALS Global laboratories in Lima, Peru for analysis. Samples are analyzed using Intermediate Level Four Acid Digestion. Silver over limits ("ore grade") are analyzed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. The ALS Laboratories sample management system meets all the requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015. All ALS geochemical hub laboratories are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for specific analytical procedures. A geochemical standard control sample is inserted into the sample stream. The laboratory also includes duplicates of samples, standards and blanks for additional QA/QC. Check assays are reviewed prior to the release of data. Assays are also reviewed for their geological context and checked against field descriptions.
