GR Silver Mining Extends Silver Mineralization with Step-Out Drilling at San Marcial 11.9 m @ 226 g/t Ag Eq* including 0.9m @ 716 g/t Ag Eq
The Step-Out Drilling is designed to explore and validate the extension of silver mineralization along northeast (NE) and northwest (NW)-oriented structures near the Resource Area. It incorporates the full integration of drilling results and 3D-modelling of exploration data to support the drilling of new targets associated with the recently discovered, district-scale intrusive system that hosts hydrothermal, bulk-mineable silver mineralization at the San Marcial Area.
Highlights of the Step Out Drilling at San Marcial (see also Table 1):
Drilling has identified a wide hydrothermal breccia and stockwork system, with multiple Ag-mineralized intervals at shallow depths in the vicinity of the Resource Area (Figure 1).

GR Silver Mining's President and CEO, Marcio Fonseca, commented, " The success of the step-out drilling program at the San Marcial Area is the result of the integration of all available exploration data, which has been used to delineate new, wide, shallow zones of silver mineralization near the existing resource area. The initial five drill holes confirm the presence of mineralization along major NE- and NW-trending structural corridors associated with the recently discovered intrusive system. A better geological understanding of the structural controls of NE and NW structures, in conjunction with the recently mapped intrusions in the San Marcial area, is providing critical data to support the continuity of the step-out drilling in the coming months. This marks a significant milestone in advancing exploration at San Marcial and reinforces our ongoing strategy for resource growth."
Geological Description Step-Out Initial Drilling Results
The Step-Out Drilling marks a significant milestone, leveraging knowledge acquired over the past 12 months to advance resource growth in the San Marcial Area. Comprehensive interpretation and 3D modelling of ground geophysical data have outlined a large, regional intrusive-related anomaly (Figure 1), defining a broad, untested footprint that will be a key focus for resource expansion drilling in the coming months as part of GR Silver's ongoing exploration program.

Drill holes SMS25-01 and SMS25-02 were designed to test the down-dip continuity of mineralization at approximately 85 and 125 metres below the surface, respectively. However, both holes intersected a late-stage dyke that displaced the mineralized zone at the targeted depth. As a result, drilling was halted, and the rigs were moved to the SMS-25-05 and SMS-25-06 locations, approximately 100 metres along strike, to better delineate the geometry and extent of the silver-mineralized hydrothermal breccia beyond the current Resource Area boundary.
Drill holes SMS25-03 and SMS25-04 were completed at the Parallel Breccias Area located up to 125 metres west of the Resource Area boundary (Figure 1). Drill hole SMS25-03, oriented at 135°, was designed to intersect perpendicular to a major NE-trending fault (Figure 1). The hole provided important geological information, confirming the presence of high-grade, narrow silver and gold mineralization hosted within a volcano-sedimentary unit that had not been previously intersected by most of the drilling within the Resource Area.
Drill hole SMS25-04 was drilled immediately adjacent to the boundary of the Resource Area, targeting the continuity of parallel hydrothermal breccias that are not currently included in the Resource Area. This drill hole was oriented obliquely to the primary structural trend of the Resource Area. Drilling confirmed the presence of a wide, silver-mineralized hydrothermal breccia, 36m @ 144 g/t Ag Eq, with continuity at a shallow, vertical depth of approximately 50 metres. This intercept represents potential for the addition of new mineralized material, warranting further investigation in follow-up drilling planned for 2025 H2.
Drilling in the NW Extension Area was designed to test the continuity of silver-mineralized hydrothermal breccia mapped approximately 100 metres northwest of the Resource Area, along Northwest-Trending structural corridor. Surface sampling results, including samples up to 1,800 g/t Ag in trench SMtr-01, have delineated an outcropping zone of well-mineralized hydrothermal breccia, extending the known mineralized footprint by approximately 250 metres along the strike.
In drill hole SMS25-05, the silver mineralized hydrothermal breccia extends from surface to 71.65 m. However, significant mineralization is confined to the upper portion of the breccia, from 0.00 to 32.50 m, where it exhibits consistent grades, continuity, and characteristic textures aligned with the NW structural trend
Drill hole SMS25-06 intersected the continuation of the wide silver-mineralized hydrothermal breccia at a shallow depth of 12 m below surface, where low-grade silver mineralization was initially mapped, delineating a 70 m-wide mineralized zone. The wide nature of the mineralization supports future drilling down dip to follow up on the model of the presence of much higher silver-grade mineralization at specific elevations, as evidenced in other drill holes in the San Marcial area. It contains frequent intercalations of sulphide-rich material, including galena, sphalerite, pyrite, and silver sulphides (AgS). Clear zonation is observed at the top and bottom contacts of the hydrothermal breccia, while the central portion exhibits silver mineralization at lower concentration levels. The most intensely brecciated and silver mineralized zones occur between 12.00–24.95 m and 93.40–107.35 m, with minor intervals of mineralized breccia present in the middle section. The high-grade mineralized interval exhibits intense chloritization, a key geochemical indicator commonly associated with strongly silver-mineralized hydrothermal breccias in the San Marcial area.
Silver remains the predominant mineralization in most of the results with minor levels of lead, zinc and gold.
Step-out drilling is progressing with the initiation of deeper down-plunge drilling at the SE Deep Extension target. This represents the first set of holes designed to test the continuity of the mineralized zone approximately 150 m down-plunge from the deepest previous intersection within the Resource Area. Additional shallow drilling of the Parallel Breccia and NW Extension targets is also scheduled for completion in the coming weeks.

New ETC report demonstrates that wind and solar-dominant power systems are competitive, reliable, and technically and economically feasible
LONDON, July 29, 2025 /CNW/ -- The Energy Transitions Commission (ETC) has today published a landmark report, Power Systems Transformation: Delivering Competitive, Resilient Electricity in High-Renewable Systems. The report sets out that global power systems dominated by wind and solar generation can reliably deliver electricity at costs comparable to or lower than today's fossil fuel-based power systems in most parts of the world. Electricity is projected to provide up to 70% of global final energy consumption in a decarbonised energy system, growing from around 20% today. Total global electricity demand could potentially triple, reaching 90,000 TWh by 2050 compared to 30,000 TWh today, and be met with new generation predominantly from wind and solar. A Global Opportunity The report shows that many countries can operate power systems with 70% or more electricity from wind and solar, using proven technologies available today, like battery storage, other energy storage, long-distance transmission, and flexible energy use. It highlights significant regional opportunities: "Sun belt" countries – including India, Mexico, and much of Africa – are best-positioned to cut power system costs by transitioning to low-cost, solar-led systems, which mainly require day-night balancing. In contrast, "wind belt" countries – such as the UK, Germany, and Canada – that rely on higher shares of wind face higher balancing costs, but can still achieve affordable, stable systems through smart policy and innovation. In many regions, long-distance transmission lines can be one of the most cost-effective solutions to balancing supply and demand, and should be maximised where feasible. Rapid electrification of buildings, transport and industries and decarbonisation of power systems must advance together to keep costs per kilowatt-hour affordable for consumers and businesses. "Multiple technologies, including nuclear and geothermal, may play a role in zero-carbon power systems. But wind and solar will be the dominant source of power in most countries, providing 70% or more of electricity at costs at or below today's fossil-based systems. In particular, in the global sun belt, the collapsing cost of solar PV and batteries makes possible far cheaper and more rapid growth in green electricity supply than seemed feasible 10 years ago. But wind belt countries can also achieve cost-effective decarbonisation by leading in offshore wind, long-duration storage, and grid innovation." said Adair Turner, Chair of the Energy Transitions Commission. Key Findings: It is technically possible for wind- and solar-dominant systems to be stable and resilient with the right mix of balancing and grid technologies. These systems are no more likely to experience blackouts than thermal generation-dominated systems. High wind and solar systems can be competitive with today's wholesale prices and grid costs. Sun belt countries could see costs more than halve to $30-$40/MWh by 2050. Wind-dependent country costs (e.g., UK) are higher, but in the future could be comparable to current levels. The "last mile" of decarbonisation will be the most expensive, particularly in countries which need ultra-long duration balancing to meet seasonal variations in supply and demand. Once countries have reached very low levels of carbon intensity (e.g., less than 50g per kWh), electrification is more important than rapid last-mile decarbonisation. Up to 30% of all global power demand could be time-shifted through demand-side flexibility. This requires the development of dynamic pricing and the use of smart management technologies. Grid costs per kWh can be kept stable. Total global grid length will need to more than double by 2050, reaching around 150–200 million km. Annual grid investment could rise from $370 billion in 2024, peaking at $870 billion in the 2030s. However, ~35% of grid expansion costs (equivalent to $1.3 trillion in Europe 1) could be avoided between now and 2050 through the usage of innovative grid technologies. Delivering low-cost, high variable renewable energy power systems will require strategic vision and planning, including market reform to put all technologies on a level playing field, grid modernisation enabled by innovative technologies, supply chain development strategies and customer engagement. "Clean electricity is essential for climate action and is the most affordable way to power economic development. Countries can build resilient economies fit for the future by investing in renewables, grids, and flexibility now. Indeed it is their obligation to do so, according to the recent ICJ advisory opinion. Low-cost, clean power is what people, industry and businesses want. Countries must deliver it now, and this report shows that they can." said Christiana Figueres, Founding Partner, Global Optimism. Policymakers, the power industry, and financial institutions should collaborate to ensure: Appropriate planning of high wind/solar systems to expedite planning approvals and minimise deployment bottlenecks. Electrification of demand that keeps pace with generation and grid build-out to avoid the cost per kWh increasing for consumers. Accelerate power market reforms to unlock investment in critical technologies. Address workforce and supply chain bottlenecks to enable delivery at scale. "Renewables are the core of the global energy transition, delivering clean, reliable, and affordable power. Wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, storage and modern grids are transforming electricity systems and opening new opportunities for growth, investment, and energy security. To keep this momentum, deployment must advance alongside grid expansion, market reform, and investment. Together, these build competitive, resilient systems that support jobs and economic progress. With governments leading and the private sector supporting, renewables will deliver a clean, secure, and just energy future." s aid Bruce Douglas, CEO at Global Renewables Alliance. The ETC also published a supplementary briefing, , focused on the role of cross-border interconnectors and long-distance transmission in accelerating the energy transition. Additional Quotes Additional quotes from Ausgrid, Iberdrola, Mission Possible Partnership, Octopus Energy, Schneider Electric, SSE, Ember, and Transition Zero are available here. About the ETC: Power Systems Transformation: Delivering Competitive, Resilient Electricity in High-Renewable Systems was developed in collaboration with ETC members from across industry, financial institutions, and civil society. The Energy Transitions Commission is a global coalition of leaders from across the energy landscape committed to achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century. This report constitutes a collective view of the ETC; however, it should not be taken as members agreeing with every finding or recommendation.
