GR Silver Mining Announces Resumption of Plomosas Silver Project Field Work
President and Chief Operating Officer, Márcio Fonseca, noted, "The security situation in the project region appears to have stabilized based on our observations on site and in extensive discussions with members of our community and various levels of Government. We are grateful to these stakeholders for their efforts to improve conditions. Our highly experienced in-country team has expressed confidence in the current situation and their ability to safely return to active field exploration. We are very excited to resume sampling and drilling the prospective targets we have outlined. The exploration team has returned to activities on site prioritizing surface investigations, prior to conducting step out drilling of high-grade silver results returned from some previous trench sampling in the NW and SE Extensions of the current NI 43-101 resource."
Previous surface exploratory trench results include:
- NW Extension - 56 m at 196 g/t Ag, including 15 m at 472 g/t Ag, (news release,
February 21, 2019 ). - New Hydrothermal Breccias (Subparallel Breccias), 12 m at 323 g/t Ag within a broader zone of 24 m at 219 g/t Ag, including high-grade Ag up to 1 m at 974 g/t Ag, (news release,
May 22, 2019 ).
Management believes that these previous results provide further encouragement for potential expansion of the resource with planned step out drilling.

Noting that the safety of our employees, consultants, suppliers, and community members remains paramount, management considers it prudent to resume this program while vigilantly monitoring the situation.
Management continues its assessment of and potential implementation of a Bulk Sampling Test Mining program at the permitted former
