Defiance Silver Corp is pleased to announce that it has both received a drill permit and secured long-term surface rights that allow for an initial 2000 meter drill program on the San Acacio silver deposit in the historic Zacatecas Silver District. The San Acacio deposit has produced approximately 100 million ounces of silver historically from an epithermal vein with mineralized intersections averaging between 7-10 meters wide but with individual intersections of up to 28 meters wide. The drilling program is focused on significantly increasing the current resource in the northwestern portion of the 1 km long zone of past production below the lower margins of the existing resource blocks. A further 3000 meter drill program will be focused on the southeastern portion of the zone using the same concept. Drilling programs to test the potential along the 4.6 km extension of the vein to the southeast will test the potential along strike.
