“We are excited to commence drilling at the San Acacio deposit and to follow up on the many targets that exhibit the potential to dramatically increase the size of the current resource. The current focus continues to be on the portion of the San Acacio project that has returned strong results, namely beneath the 1.2 km of historic workings on the vein along with the newly defined Quartz-Pyrite Breccia target.” said Bruce Winfield, President and CEO of Defiance Silver Corp.

Commenting on the PFS, Chief Executive Officer Greg McCunn said, “The Ana Paula Project has been significantly de-risked over the past six months with infill drilling now supporting a robust Mineral Resource Estimate, metallurgical test work defining an improved process design, capital and operating costs estimated to a high standard and our Environmental Impact Assessment approved by the regulators. The PFS has confirmed the project economics are very robust and we expect to continue moving the project forward to an investment decision in Q2 2018.”

Brian Robertson, Chairman, President and CEO stated, “We are very pleased to own a 100% interest in these two concessions. I wish to thank Mr. Farias for his strong support during the option period and willingness to renegotiate the option agreement on many occasions during difficult market conditions. We now look forward to advancing these properties, which contain historical mines with extensive workings, to the drill ready stage.”
