Initial Diamond Drilling At El Triunfo Gold Project


VANCOUVER - Silver Elephant Mining Corp. reported on the initial diamond drilling at El Triunfo gold-silver project located 75 km east of La Paz city, Bolivia. Five holes totaling 1,500 meters are underway to test induced polarization (IP) geophysical anomalies discovered in 2021.

TR009 encountered separate intersections of 14 meters of 2.5 g/t AuEq (0.8 g/t Au, 65 g/t Ag, 1.74% Pb, 1.44% Zn), 2 meters of 2.7 AuEq (0.2 g/t Au, 211 g/t Ag, 0.84% Pb, 0.24% Zn), and 4 meters of 2.6 g/t AuEq (2.4 g/t Au, 12.9 g/t Ag, 0.19% Pb, and 0.04% Zn) within 247 meters grading 0.4 AuEq, starting from 3 meters downhole. TR010 encountered 1.2 meters of 7.7 g/t AuEq (2.4 g/t Au, 61 g/t Ag, 10.80% Pb, 2.98% Zn), 1 meter of 2.7 g/t AuEq (1.8 g/t Au, 27 g/t Ag, 0.81% Pb, and 1.25% Zn) within 45 meters grading 0.7 AuEq, starting from 7 meters downhole.

TR009 and TR010 were drilled at eastern and western edges of the Triunfo West block ("TWB") and successfully expanded the mineralized width and open up the exploration prospects immediately west of the TWB. The TWB (featuring a strike length of 750 meters) is where Company's maiden drill program in 2020 and artisanal mining took place. The maiden program included hole TR007 with 98.9 meters of 1 g/t AuEq (0.4g/t Au, 23 g/t Ag, 0.74% Zn, 0.58% Pb.

TR011, -012, -013 are drilled at wide spacing at the Triunfo East block (TEB), a 1.5 kilometer extension to the TWB that is separated by a fault that resulted in this area being previously unexplored until recently. The Company is currently drilling the final hole, TR013, of this program, and waiting for assay results for TR011 and TR012 expected in April.

If the TEB drilling discovers mineralization, when combined with TWB, the total Triunfo project mineralized strike length will triple to 2.3-kilometers, greatly enhancing the project's potential.
