Intercepts At The El Molino & El Rubi Resource

VANCOUVER – Silver Viper Minerals Corp. reported on the drill program and highlights two anomalous exploration drill intercepts at El Molino, and numerous high grade intercepts from the infill drilling at the El Rubi resource area at its resource-stage La Virginia Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. 

Drilling since October 2025 has completed 7 exploration drill holes for a total of 1,026.4m along structures surrounding El Molino to the east and south of El Rubi, and 11 infill drill holes representing 4,620.0m through the core of the previously released resource model at El Rubi. Results for a total of 5,646.4m of drilling are available so far with drilling ongoing at the site. The originally announced 5,000m drill program is being expanded to facilitate further infill drilling at El Rubi to convert “Inferred” classified resources to “Indicated” or better.

From El Molino: Drill Hole LV25-331 returned 3.5m of 1.25 g/t Au and 24.81 g/t Ag from 56.0m including 0.5m of 5.0 g/t Au and 27.9 g/t Ag from 56.5m. This is a newly identified mineralized structure. Drill hole LV25-336 returned 3.2m of 1.66 g/t Au and 4.27 g/t Ag from 28.6m, 150m north-northwest of the structure hit by LV25-331. This is a newly identified mineralized structure.

Drill hole LV26-341 returned 7.0m of 1.07 g/t Au and 14.0 g/t Ag from 250.0m including 1.0m of 5.0 g/t Au and 20.0 g/t Ag from 255m.

Drill hole LV26-343 returned 2.2m of 4.5 g/t Au and 347.7 g/t Ag from 169.0m including 0.5m of 13.8 g/t Au and 1,205 g/t Ag from 170.2m; 5.0m of 1.26 g/t Au and 62.5 g/t Ag from 221.0m including 2.0m of 1.87 g/t Au and 72.9 g/t Ag from 221.0m; 26.4m of 1.25 g/t Au and 72.2 g/t Ag from 242.6m including 1.2m of 3.84 g/t Au and 206.4 g/t Ag from 242.6m as well as 3.5m of 5.31 g/t Au and 319.7 g/t Ag from 262.5m.

Drill hole LV26-344 returned 1.1m of 12.34 g/t Au and 604.5 g/t Ag from 150.95m; 3.0m of 3.66 g/t Au and 18.25 g/t Ag from 258.0m including 2.0m of 6.46 g/t Au and 19.8 g/t Ag from 258.0m, also including 0.5m of 16.1 g/t Au and 18.7 g/t Ag from 258.5m; 2.6m of 50.66 g/t Au and 158.1 g/t Ag from 278.5m including 0.6m of 208.0 g/t Au and 435.0 g/t Ag from280.5m; 5.0m of 1.49 g/t Au and 94.3 g/t Ag from 296.5m including 2.0m of 2.73 g/t Au and 176.7 g/t Ag from 299.5m.

President and CEO, Steve Cope, said, “We are thrilled to be back drilling La Virginia. The results to date show why this property is one of our flagship assets and we look forward to providing regular updates moving forward. Exploration work at El Molino has identified anomalous structures and we look forward to expanding on the work in that zone. Resource drilling at El Rubi has so far surpassed our expectations returning extremely high grade intervals of 14.2 g/t AuEQ or 994.3 g/t AgEQ over 11.7m in hole LV26-345 including 0.5m of 281.4 g/t AuEQ or 19.7 kg AgEQ. Hole LV26-344 also returned great values over 2.62m of 52.92 AuEQ or 3.7kg/t AgEQ which includes 0.62m of 214.2 g/t AuEQ or 15.0kg/t AgEQ. These are some of the highest grade drill intercepts encountered on the property to date. The overall program continues to position Silver Viper well for both new discoveries and meaningful resource growth.”
