TORONTO, March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Discovery Silver Corp. (TSX: DSV, OTCQX: DSVSF) (“Discovery” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 (“Q4 2023” and “2023”, respectively). The Company also provided a summary of key events since the beginning of Q4 2023, including the release on February 20, 2024, of the feasibility study results (the “Feasibility Study” or “Study”) for Discovery’s 100%-owned Cordero silver project (“Cordero” or the “Project”) in Chihuahua State, Mexico. Cordero is a world leading silver development project that will generate attractive economic returns and contribute substantial socio-economic benefits to Mexico. All figures are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Tony Makuch, CEO, commented: “Over the last year, our teams in Mexico and Canada have done an outstanding job advancing Cordero. Following the release of the Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) in January 2023, we progressed into full feasibility advancing engineering and design work which further de-risked the Project, drilling over 30,000 metres with the results clearly demonstrating the potential to grow resources and reserves, and completing impact assessment and social baseline studies leading to the submission of our Environmental Impact Statement (“Manifesto de Impacto Ambiental” or “MIA”) in August.

“The excellent work of our people culminated in the release of our Feasibility Study results a few weeks ago. The Feasibility Study is a major milestone, which positions Cordero as the world’s largest undeveloped silver project both in terms of reserves and expected annual production. Cordero will be a long-life project with low unit costs that generates substantial cash flows and attractive economic returns. Beyond that, Cordero is an important project for several reasons. First, with expected annual production averaging 37 million silver-equivalent (“AgEq”)1 ounces in the first 12 years, it can play a key role in closing market deficits and supplying silver for high-growth sectors such as electric vehicles and solar energy. Second, the Project will deliver valuable benefits to Mexico by creating high-quality, high-paying jobs, investing in infrastructure as well as goods and services and generating tax revenue. Finally, Cordero is important for our industry because it can provide an example of how a large-scale mining project that is profitable, contributes to greater prosperity and meets the highest environmental standards, can be part of the solution when it comes to addressing ESG issues and achieving sustainability objectives in a world that increasingly needs metals and minerals.
