Canasil Increases Planned Drill Program to 2,200 Metres in 7 Drill Holes at the La Esperanza Project in Durango and Zacatecas States, Mexico

Canasil Resources Inc. announces that the Company has received assay results for three additional drill holes, ES-17-13, ES-17-14 and ES-17-15, of the 2016-17 core drilling program at the La Esperanza silver-lead-zinc project in Durango and Zacatecas States, Mexico. All three drill holes intersected mineralized vein structures with results detailed in the table below. ES-17-13 was a 90-metre step-out to the northwest from prior vein intercepts, and ES-17-14 and ES-17-15 were each 50-metre and 100-metre step-outs below the previously identified southeastern zone of the La Esperanza vein.

We expect to have an update on drawdown rates in the near term as more data are collected. Production during 2016, though certainly below mine potential, only minimally depleted Platosa mineral resources, leaving more high-grade resources to mine at higher-rates and lower costs under dry mining conditions in the coming years. Additionally, our resumption of exploration at Platosa has delivered high-grade and near-term accessible mineralization…”
