Diamond Drilling At The Paca Silver Project

 

VANCOUVER, BC - Prophecy Development Corp. reported results from the Paca silver project in the Potosi department of Bolivia. Borehole PND 110 intersected 89 meters grading 378 g/t Ag-Equivalent ("AgEq;" 279 g/t Ag, 1.28% Zn, 1.17% Pb) starting from 9 meters downhole, including 12 meters grading 1,085 g/t Ag starting at just 16 meters downhole.

Phase 1 Drill highlights include: PND107: 54.0 meters of 238 g/t AgEq (151 g/t Ag, 1.01% Zn, 1.17% Pb) from 55.0 to 109.0 meters; PND108: 24.0 meters of 307 g/t AgEq (200 g/t Ag, 0.60% Zn, 2.12% Pb) from 33.0 to 57.0 meters; PND109: 28.0 meters of 281 g/t AgEq (242 g/t Ag, 0.27% Zn, 0.69% Pb) from 15.0 to 43.0 meters; PND110: 89.0 meters of 378 g/t AgEq (279 g/t Ag, 1.28% Zn, 1.17% Pb) from 9.0 to 98.0 meters; PND112: 1.0 meters of 904 g/t AgEq (890 g/t Ag, 0.05% Zn, 0.31% Pb) from 21.0 to 22.0 meters; and PND 113: 25.0 meters of 209 g/t AgEq (196 g/t Ag, 0.04% Zn, 0.29% Pb) from 3.0 to 28.0 meters.

Reported widths are intercepted core lengths and not true widths, as relationships with intercepted structures and contacts vary. Based on core-angle measurements, true widths are estimated at approximately 77% of reported core lengths.

Silver equivalent ("AgEq") calculation is based on NI43-101 compliant 2017 resource report completed for the Paca deposit by Mercator Geological Services. Silver equivalent is calculated as follows: Ag Eq. (g/t) = Ag (g/t) + (Pb% *(US$0.94/ lb. Pb /14.583 Troy oz./lb./US$16.50 per Troy oz. Ag)*10,000) + (Zn% *(US$1.00/lb. Zn/14.583 Troy oz./lb./US$16.50 per Troy oz. Ag)*10,000). 100 % metal recoveries are assumed based on lack of comprehensive metallurgical results

PUD110 reported the highest silver width-grade intercept at the Paca project to date, which now has over 19,000 drill meters completed between Prophecy and the previous operator since 2002. These Phase 1 drill results are anticipated to increase the overall tonnage and upgrade the confidence level of the current NI43-101 compliant resource estimate prepared independently by Mercator Geological Services Ltd.

The Pulacayo-Paca Mining Production Contract was executed on October 3, 2019 between Prophecy and the Bolivian government, granting Prophecy the 100% exclusive right to develop and mine at the Pulacayo and Paca concessions for up to 30 years. It is comparable to a mining license in Canada or the United States.

Michael Doolin, CEO, said, "This drill program further solidifies Paca as a top-tier open pit silver deposit with excellent potential to expand the resource base to the east, north, and at depth. I would like to congratulate our team in Bolivia for their efforts in obtaining the Mining Production Contract and in completing this very successful 1,000 meter Paca drill campaign which was completed, from the start of drilling to full assay reporting, in one month and under budget. Our team is very excited to advance this large, district style Pulacayo-Paca silver project with unwavering support from local community and the Bolivian government"

Shortly, Prophecy plans to announce the commencement of a Phase 2, 5,000 meter drill program to expand near-surface resources at Paca and Pulacayo, which has ~3km strike length and is located 7km south of Paca.
