Canasil Resources Inc. announces that the Company has received assay results for the first drill hole, ES-16-12, of the 2016-17 core drilling program at the La Esperanza silver-lead-zinc project in Durango and Zacatecas States, Mexico. This drill hole intersected an extended interval of banded quartz veins, veinlets and breccias hosted within fractured and brecciated volcanic rocks from 345 metres to 391 metres down-hole. The interval returned assay results indicating several narrower zones carrying anomalous gold and copper, low silver and appreciable lead and zinc values. The widest zone at the bottom of the hole returned an intercept of 3.57 metres (true width 3.08 metres) grading 0.14 g/t Au, 21 g/t Ag, 0.82% Pb and 2.63% Zinc. The principal mineralized intervals are reported in the table below:

Managing Director Will Dix commented: The new intersections to the south of our modelled mineralisation continue to support the Companys view that significant base metal resources exist down dip and down plunge of the mine development. We will continue to pursue this area and other targets to build our resource base. In addition we will look at regional targets and aggressively pursue other opportunities as they are identified, be they within the current mine infrastructure or in new areas.
For 2017, planned exploration spending on new resource identification has almost doubled, to $14 – $17 million, compared to 2016. The majority of our exploration budget will be spent at our Palmarejo and Kensington operations and at our La Preciosa silver-gold project in Mexico. Our capitalized exploration budget targeting resource conversion is expected to increase by about 10% to $10 – $13 million, most of which is earmarked for Palmarejo and Kensington. We also plan to increase earlier-stage exploration spending by around 50% to $7 million, as we seek to enhance our pipeline of future, high-quality sources of silver and gold production in attractive jurisdictions,” Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeurs President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our high-grade discovery at Naranjillo and the resulting Agreement with Fresnillo, the world’s largest silver producer, validates the Plata Latina exploration strategy of discovering hidden, high-grade silver-gold districts within the Mexican Silver Belt,” commented Plata Latina’s President and CEO, Mike Clarke. “We look forward to putting the proceeds from this Agreement towards the advancement of our three existing properties, particularly Vaquerias, which exhibits significant shallow discovery potential based on early testing and drilling. Further, the funding will enable us to look for additional opportunities in the prolific Mexican Silver Belt using our successful exploration strategy.”
