Delaine A. Deer Launches "Voice of Impact", a 12-Session Leadership Program for Women in Male-Dominated Industries
NEW YORK, July 21, 2025 /CNW/ — Delaine A. Deer, leadership coach and founder of ProWorks Hive, has launched Voice of Impact, a 12-session coaching program designed for women ready to lead in industries where their voices have long been underrepresented—construction, tech, and corporate leadership.
Despite growing conversations around diversity, women—especially women of color and LGBTQ+ professionals—continue to face barriers. Only 10% of construction executives are women (BLS, 2023), nearly half of women in tech report workplace discrimination (Pew, 2023), and Black women are promoted at just 58% the rate of white men (Lean In, 2023). Voice of Impact addresses these disparities directly, offering practical tools, coaching, and community to help women break through bias and lead with impact.
The program is a systems-level response to leadership inequality. Designed by Deer with support from industry advisors, Voice of Impact equips women with actionable strategies to apply immediately in their careers. The experience blends expert coaching, leadership development, and continuous support via the ProWorks Hive platform—an exclusive online network for peer engagement and mentorship.
'For too long, women have been told to 'lean in.' But without the tools to navigate systemic bias, that's not enough,' said Deer. 'Voice of Impact gives them the skills, strategy, and support to not only claim their seat at the table—but to thrive in it.'
Participants in the inaugural cohort receive founding member status and lifetime access to ProWorks Hive. Program modules cover leadership branding, confident communication, negotiating promotions, and building a bias-resistant mindset.
About Delaine A. Deer and ProWorks Hive

MORENA BECOMES SIXTH HIGH-GRADE DISCOVERY IN SANTA ANA'S CURRENT DRILL PROGRAM
VANCOUVER, BC, July 22, 2025 /CNW/ – Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSXV: OCG) (OTCQX: OCGSF) (DE: MRG) ('Outcrop Silver') is pleased to announce the discovery of a new high-grade shoot at the Morena vein within its 100% owned Santa Ana high-grade silver project in Colombia. This marks the sixth high-grade shoot discovered since the current drilling campaign began in April 2024, reinforcing the growth potential of Santa Ana ahead of an upcoming mineral resource update. Highlights DH471 intercepted 1.87 metres grading 680 g/t Ag and 1.52 g/t Au (794 g/t AgEq), including 0.55 metres at 1,877 g/t Ag and 4.26 g/t Au (2,197 g/t AgEq) (Table 1, Figure 2). DH467 intercepted 2.29 metres at 233 g/t Ag and 0.37 g/t Au (261 g/t AgEq), including 0.35 metres at 873 g/t Ag and 0.80 g/t Au (933 g/t AgEq) (Table 1). With six new mineralized shoots discovered since April 2024, Outcrop Silver continues to build momentum toward a significant mineral resource update. Morena adds to a growing pipeline of new mineralized zones, including those at Aguilar, Jimenez, Guadual, La Ye, and Los Mangos, all of which are being tested for inclusion in the upcoming mineral resource update. The discovery at Morena resulted from systematic regional exploration focused on the La Ye target (see News Release dated September 4, 2024). Soil geochemistry and follow-up trenching in late 2024 revealed a promising structural corridor (Figure 1). Initial samplings returned silver assays up to 795 g/t Ag and 5.88 g/t Au (Table 2), with trenching confirming the presence of the Morena vein across 400 metres along strike. The Morena vein trends 220 to 230°, dips between 45° and 75°, and is hosted in green schists (Figure 1). The drilling campaign at Morena consisted of 2,905 metres. These efforts have confirmed a continuous mineralized footprint of approximately 400 metres along strike and nearly 300 metres down dip (Figure 2). 'We are excited to confirm the sixth new high-grade shoot at Santa Ana since the mineral resource was published with the discovery at Morena,' commented Guillermo Hernandez, Vice President of Exploration. 'This discovery is the result of disciplined exploration, following geochemical anomalies, applying strong geological models, and validating our interpretations with drilling. The potential at Morena reinforces our growth strategy and highlights the scale of opportunity still to be realized across the Santa Ana project.'

ATM Program Further to an at-the-market offering of common shares made pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated September 6, 2023, the Company issued a block of 600,000 common shares to a strategic investor for gross proceeds of $120,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Fees of 2.5% of the gross proceeds of the at-the-market offering were paid to Research Capital Corporation, being $3,000. 1Silver Equivalent Metal prices used for equivalent calculations were US$1,800/oz for gold, and US$25/oz for silver. Metallurgical recoveries based on Outcrop Silver's metallurgical test work are 97% for gold and 93% for silver (see news release dated August 23, 2023). The equivalency formula is as follows: QA/QC Outcrop Silver applied its standard protocols for sampling and assay for exploration activities. Core diameter is a mix of HTW and NTW depending on the depth of the drill hole. Diamond drill core boxes were photographed, sawed, sampled and tagged. Samples were bagged, tagged and packaged for shipment by truck from Santa Ana's core logging facilities in Falan, Colombia to the Actlabs certified sample preparation facility in Medellin, Colombia. ActLabs is an accredited laboratory independent of the Company. HQ-NTW core is sawn with one-half shipped. Samples delivered to Actlabs were AA assayed on Au, Ag, Pb, and Zn at Medellin using 1A2Au, 1A3Au, Multi-elements AR (Ag Cu Pb Zn), and Code 8 methods. Then, samples were sent to Actlabs Canada in Ancaster, Ontario, for ICP-multi-elemental analysis with code 1E3. In line with QA/QC best practices, blanks, duplicates, and certified reference materials are inserted at approximately three control samples every twenty samples into the sample stream, monitoring laboratory performance. A comparison of control samples and their standard deviations indicates acceptable accuracy of the assays and no detectible contamination. No material QA/QC issues have been identified with respect to sample collection, security and assaying. The samples are analyzed for gold and silver using a standard fire assay on a 30-gram sample with a gravimetric finish for over-limits. Multi-element geochemistry was determined by ICP-MS using either aqua regia or four acid digestions. Crush rejects, pulps, and the remaining core are stored in a secured facility at Santa Ana for future assay verification. Qualified Person The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Guillermo Hernandez, CPG-AIPG, Vice-President Exploration at Outcrop Silver. Mr. Hernandez is a Qualified Person for the Company as defined by National Instrument 43-101. About Santa Ana The 100% owned Santa Ana project spans 27,000 hectares within the Mariquita District, encompassing titles and applications, and is recognized as the largest and highest-grade primary silver district in Colombia, with mining records dating back to 1585. Santa Ana's maiden resource estimate, detailed in the NI 43-101 Technical Report titled 'Santa Ana Property Mineral Resource Estimate,' dated June 8, 2023, prepared by AMC Mining Consultants, indicates an estimated indicated resource of 1,226 thousand tonnes containing 24.2 million ounces silver equivalent1 at a grade of 614 grams per tonne and an inferred resource of 966 thousand tonnes containing 13.5 million ounces at a grade of 435 grams per tonne of silver equivalent1. The identified resources span seven major vein systems that include multiple parallel veins and ore shoots: Santa Ana (San Antonio, Roberto Tovar, San Juan shoots); La Porfia (La Ivana); El Dorado (El Dorado, La Abeja shoots); Paraiso (Megapozo); Las Maras; Los Naranjos, and La Isabela. The drilling campaign aims to extend known mineralization and test new high-potential areas along the permitted section of the project's extensive 30 kilometres of mineralized trend. This year's exploration strategy aims to demonstrate a clear pathway to substantially expand the resource. These efforts underscore the scalability of Santa Ana and its potential for substantial resource growth, positioning the project to develop into a high-grade, economically viable, and environmentally responsible silver mine. About Outcrop Silver Outcrop Silver is a leading explorer and developer focused on advancing its flagship Santa Ana high-grade silver project in Colombia. Leveraging a disciplined and seasoned team of professionals with decades of experience in the region. Outcrop Silver is dedicated to expanding current mineral resources through strategic exploration initiatives.
