Americas Gold and Silver Corporation Provides Update on Galena Exploration
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation provided update to Galena Complex exploration results. The Galena Complex has been actively drilling near mine exploration targets with exciting results including an area between the 4600 Level and 4900 Level which had previously been a gap in drilling and has been consistently returning high-grade intercepts of attractive Ag-Cu veins. A drill campaign was completed from the 4600 Level to infill a gap in the 360 Complex and this program was successful in proving the continuity of the 360 Complex mineralization between 4600 and 4900 Level. Active drilling on the 4300 level has been critical to defining the upper extents of the 360 Complex and has also led to the eastward extension of the 360 Complex which contains several intercepts of wide veins contained within a larger package of disseminated mineralization. Recent drilling from the 5200 Level targeting the 55 Vein has uncovered high-grade intercepts of previously unknown veins which are close to existing infrastructure. Two programs were active in the period from a drill platform near the 4600 Level. The first infill drill program above the 4600 Level targeting the Lower Country Lead Zone has been completed and added confidence to near-term mine plans of this area. The second program, which remains active, has intercepted impressive grades of Ag-Cu veins in the Central Zone in an area that currently contains no mineral resources. This drilling has shown down dip extensions of veins previously mined above the 4600 Level and the proximity to existing infrastructure on 4600 and 4900 Levels gives these early results a high potential to add near-term mineable resources to the Galena Complex with additional infill drilling.

The wide intercepts of economic grades create the potential of extraction via more productive bulk mining methods if future infill drilling programs are successful in defining this area as a mineral resource. Due to limitations of the Termite drill and the existing drilling platform, this new vein package is open along strike to the east and plans are being developed to add additional drilling with a Hagby drill from platforms from the 4300 Level and 4600 Level to build upon current understanding of this zone and define the lateral and vertical extents of the mineralization.

The results of this drilling campaign are critical to near term extraction of the 360 Complex.
