Denarius Metals Announces Final Results from the Infill Drilling Program Completed in 2024 at Its Zancudo Project in Colombia, Confirming High-grade Mineralization on Multiple Veins and the Discovery of a New Manto Vein at the Las Brisas Target
Highlights from the 2024 Infill Drilling Program at the Las Brisas Target include:
-
Multiple high gold and silver grade intercepts were intersected in most of the infill drill holes completed on the Las Brisas vein, confirming the continuity of the mineralization on the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina veins and also better delineating a northerly-trending ore-shoot at the intersection of the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina veins which is still open along strike.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 16, 2025) – Denarius Metals Corp. (Cboe CA: DMET) (OTCQX: DNRSF) (“Denarius Metals” or the “Company”) provided an update today on the drill results from its surface infill diamond drilling program completed in the second half of 2024 at the Company’s second priority target, Las Brisas, at its Zancudo Project in Colombia. The results announced today have been received from the final assays for 13 drill holes from the Las Brisas Target totaling approximately 2,435 meters bringing the total drilling completed in 2024 at the Zancudo Project to 7,225 meters in 45 drill holes.
The 2024 infill drilling program was designed at 50×50 meters drill centers and was aimed at upgrading Inferred Resources to the Indicated Resources category and to support near term mine development. The 2024 drilling program focused on two priority areas, Los Albertos and Las Brisas, which contain most of the existing mineral resources. The drilling program designed for the first priority target, Los Albertos, commenced in late April 2024 and was completed in late July 2024. Final results from 4,790 meters of drilling completed in 32 drill holes at the Los Albertos Target were announced in a press release on September 10, 2024. The drilling program at the Las Brisas Target was carried out in the second half of 2024 with one drill rig.
Serafino Iacono, Executive Chairman of Denarius Metals, commented, “We are very pleased with the drilling results achieved at the Las Brisas Target, which reinforce that systematic, more tightly spaced, infill drilling has produced very positive results similar to those previously achieved at the Los Albertos Target. In addition, the discovery of a new mineralized manto vein close to the Manto Antiguo vein introduces a new player in the future exploration plan for the Las Brisas Target. These results confirm the results from previous drilling campaigns and have better delineated a high-grade ore shoot, which is still open along strike, within the main Manto Antiguo vein that significantly de-risks the future production at the Zancudo underground operation. We look forward to completing an updated Mineral Resource estimate incorporating the 2024 drilling program results in the third quarter this year. As previously announced, we have recently commenced mining operations at our Zancudo Project. As we continue to ramp up our production rate at Zancudo, we will support our mine development with an ongoing exploration program aimed at the continued expansion of the high-grade resources at the Zancudo Project.”
Las Brisas Target – Drilling Results Details (see Table below and Figures 1-5 attached)
- The northerly-trending Santa Catalina vein, which dips steeply to the east near surface and gently at depth, is interpreted as a mineralized master fault structure and feeder of the mineralization for the entire vein system; while the Manto Antiguo vein, which was the main vein mined historically, is interpreted as a WNW-ESE trending brecciated manto structure that merges into the footwall of the Santa Catalina vein. It hosts clasts with thin layers of mineralization composed of quartz, pyrite, arsenopyrite, sphalerite and galena, embedded in a matrix of sulfides and milled rock. This vein was selectively exploited by past mining, which focused on the sectors of the mine that showed the highest concentration of sulfides, allowing us today to evaluate and quantify an important resource that was left unexploited.
- The Las Brisas Target represents an unexploited block within the Manto Antiguo vein preserved by past mining.
- A new manto vein named Manto Brisas, trending WNW with a shallow dip to the north, was intersected in the footwall of the Santa Catalina vein, with maximum grades of 12.12 g/t Au and 93 g/t Ag over 0.50 meters from 164.90 m to 165.40 m (ZM-185).
- The infill drilling program for the Las Brisas Target was designed at 50×50 meters drill centers from two platforms (B1 and B3) located in the southern part of the Las Brisas Target. It was aimed at better delineating two ore-shoots outlined by previous drilling on the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina veins, of which the Manto Antiguo ore shoot is controlled by the intersection of the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina veins and which usually shows wider and higher-grade intercepts.
- Drilling was successful in confirming the high-grade gold and silver mineralization in the ore-shoot outlined by previous drilling on the Manto Antiguo vein. High grade gold and silver intercepts were intersected from 4 drill holes, totaling 509 meters, with maximum intersection grades of 23.11 g/t Au and 1,653 g/t Ag over 0.40 m from 143.0 m to 143.4 m (ZM-193).
- Drilling was also successful in confirming and better delineating the high gold and silver mineralization in the ore-shoot outlined by previous drilling on the Santa Catalina vein. Medium to high grade gold and silver intercepts were intersected from 3 drill holes, totaling 706 meters, with maximum intersection grades of 17.20 g/t Au and 101 g/t Ag over 0.30 m from 94.70 m to 95.0 m (ZM-192).
Given the long-term growth opportunity through exploration at the Zancudo Project, the Company is committed to an ongoing investment in drilling and is currently making plans to undertake another drilling campaign in 2025 aimed at upgrading Inferred Resources to the Indicated Resources category within the Las Brisas Target and also outside the two priority targets to accelerate mine development in the near to medium term.

Notes to Las Brisas table:
(1) The intervals are core lengths. The true widths are estimated to be 80% to 90% of the lengths.
(2) Equivalent gold grades (AuEq g/t) were calculated using prices of US$2,000/oz gold and US$25.00/oz silver. The gold equivalent formula is: AuEq = Au + (Ag / (Au Price/Ag Price)).
(3) “Unknown”: new structure that doesn’t correlate with any of the known structures/veins
(4) There are no results above cut-off grade for 4 holes (ZM-181, ZM-184, ZM-189, ZM-194), so these holes are not listed in the table above.
Please refer also to the attached illustrative images showing the location of the drill holes for the 2024 drilling campaign, a sketch of the main structures for the Las Brisas Target, and long sections showing intercept locations for the Manto Antiguo and Santa Catalina veins.

Notes to Los Albertos table:
(1) The intervals are core lengths. The true widths are estimated to be 80% to 90% of the lengths.
(2) Equivalent gold grades (AuEq g/t) were calculated using prices of US$2,000/oz gold and US$25.00/oz silver. Gold equivalent formula: AuEq = Au + (Ag / (Au Price/Ag Price)).
(3) “Unknown”: new structure that doesn’t correlate with any of the known structures/veins
Qualified Person
Dr. Stewart D. Redwood, PhD, FIMMM, QMR, FGS, Senior Consulting Geologist to the Company, is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure or Mineral Projects and prepared or reviewed the preparation of the scientific and technical information in this press release. Verification including a review of the quality assurance and quality control samples, and review of the applicable assay databases and assay certificates.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
The drill samples from the Project were prepared by SGS Labs (ISO 9001:2015) at their laboratory in Medellin, Colombia, and assayed by them at their laboratory in El Callao, Lima, Peru. Gold was assayed by 50 g fire assay with AAS finish. Samples over 6.0 g/t gold were re-assayed by 50 g fire assay with gravimetric finish. Silver and other elements were analyzed in a multi-element package by aqua regia digestion and ICP-AES finish. Silver samples above 100 g/t were re-assayed by multi-acid digestion and AAS finish. Blank, standard and duplicate samples were routinely inserted for quality assurance and quality control.
