AbraSilver Resource – Expanded Resources At The Diablillos Project Have Grown to 350 Million Silver Equivalent Ounces

14 minutes

John Miniotis, President and CEO of AbraSilver Resource Corp (TSX: ABRA) (OTCQX: ABBRF), joined us to review the new expanded Mineral Resource Estimate, development work building towards the Definitive Feasibility Study, and the ongoing 20,000 meter Phase 5 drill program at their wholly-owned Diablillos property in Salta Province, Argentina.

The updated MRE now totals 104 million tonnes ("Mt") of ore, containing approximately 199 million ounces ("Moz") of silver and 1.72 Moz of gold (350 Moz silver-equivalent "AgEq") in the Measured & Indicated ("M&I") category. This total includes a maiden heap leach Mineral Resource estimate and reflects significant increases across five deposits (Oculto, JAC, Fantasma, Laderas and Sombra) located at Diablillos.

Key Highlights of the Updated MRE (Combined Tank and Heap Leach):

Total M&I Mineral Resources (tank and heap leach) now stand at 104 Mt grading 59 g/t Ag and 0.51 g/t Au, containing 199 Moz Ag and 1.72 Moz Au (350 Moz AgEq).

Tank leach Mineral Resource estimate totals 73 Mt grading 79 g/t Ag and 0.66 g/t Au, containing 186 Moz Ag and 1.55 Moz Au (327 Moz AgEq).

Maiden heap leach MRE adds 31 Mt grading 13 g/t Ag and 0.16 g/t Au, containing 13 Moz Ag and 162 koz Au (23 Moz AgEq).

Based on lower-grade material contained with the constraining Whittle open pit, previously classified as waste, now recognized as potentially recoverable though a low-cost processing route.

Key Changes Compared to Prior MRE (Tank Leach Only):

25% increase in contained silver in M&I Mineral Resources to 186 Moz Ag from 148 Moz Ag.

14% increase in contained gold in M&I Mineral Resources to 1.55 Moz Au from 1.36Moz Au.

27% increase in M&I silver-equivalent ounces to 327 Moz AgEq from 258 Moz AgEq.

With three drill rigs now active across the broader Diablillos land package, and the potential to add a fourth rig in the future, the Company is entering another exciting new phase of exploration growth. In addition, the Company is doing all the derisking work programs in parallel with exploration for their ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study due out in early 2026, which will be followed by a PEA on the heap-leach economics, and another updated to the mineral resource once all the Phase V data is incorporated into that study.
