Year: 2023

Silver Viper Minerals Corp. is pleased to announce that, due to strong demand from prospective subscribers, the Company has upsized its previously announced non-brokered private placement to up to 33,000,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.10 per Unit to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $3,300,000.

Eric Caba, President and COO of Bear Creek states, “We are pleased that Q1 2023 production from Mercedes is in alignment with our guidance for the quarter. Our foundational work, stemming from the Mercedes improvement program that concluded in January 2023, has prepared the Mercedes mine for improved production and efficient development and cost controls are being prioritized.”

“The Company had a strong operational start to the year, despite a 17-day operating shutdown in Mexico in February,” stated Americas President and CEO Darren Blasutti.

“The first quarter results are aligned with our 2023 production guidance, which anticipates higher silver output in the first half of 2023 compared with the second half of 2023, due to planned grade reductions. Our priorities continue to focus on mine debottlenecking and plant optimization. We are also focused on advancing mine life extension opportunities including accelerating definition drilling on the mineralization recently discovered at depth in the new South-East Deeps zone, and continuing exploration of the extensive land package in the highly prospective Los Gatos district.”

“The initiation of the environmental permitting process at Cerro de Oro marks the culmination of a tremendous amount of work completed by the Minera team and our external consultants. We are thrilled to be moving down the path to bring a new gold mine to the State of Zacatecas, supporting the local economy and local stakeholders who have been extremely supportive since the Company acquired the Cerro de Oro project in the fall of 2020” stated Doug Ramshaw, President.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Camino Rojo Oxide Mine produced 25,910 ounces of gold and sold 26,752 ounces of gold.
