Currently five underground diamond drill rigs are in operation at DDGM where a total of 61 drill holes for over 14,200 meters have been completed year-to-date in 2023. The program continues to advance our 2023 exploration objectives of identifying and defining additional mineral resources and upgrading current inferred resources. Results from the 2023 drilling program are pending incorporation into the upcoming 2023 resource estimate.

Three Sisters and Gloria Vein Systems
Expansion drilling is ongoing underground from Level 3 targeting the Three Sisters vein system, located north of and between the Arista and Switchback vein systems. Significant mineralized intercepts continue to be drilled at Three Sisters and the system remains open to the north-west, up-dip and at depth. Notably, several drill hole intercepts are well north of the current resource shells and the successful results here are key in continuing to guide the direction of the 2023 expansion drill program in this zone.
After detailed reinterpretation of 2022 drill data, a new vein system was discovered via the continuation of drill holes to the west beyond the Three Sisters vein system to where a new, previously unrecognized vein system, with significant base metal mineralization was intersected. This new system (Gloria) is located west of Three Sisters and north and east of the Arista vein system. Located along a structural weakness at the lithological contact between Tertiary volcanics and Cretaceous basement sediments, initial drill results show good potential to add new additional base metal resources from this zone. The interplay of the Gloria vein system with the Three Sisters vein system is now a primary focus of the 2023 expansion drilling program with two diamond drill rigs on Level 3 continuing to focus on step-out and infill holes on both vein systems.
Highlights from Hole No. 523016 which intersected both the Three Sisters and Gloria vein systems are as follow:
- Hole No. 523016:
- 3.24 m @ 3.22 g/t Au, 77.47 g/t Ag, 0.09% Cu, 0.69% Pb, 1.42% Zn (Sandy 2)

Arista Vein System
Infill and step-out drilling from Level 21 drill stations in the Arista vein system successfully intercepted a series of closely spaced veins down-dip below and along strike to the north-west of the existing Arista mine workings. Infill drilling results during this period along the north-west extension of the Arista vein system continues to show structural continuity (along strike and at depth) and economic potential within these veins beyond areas previously modelled and outside the current resource shell. Of important note, 1) the presence of accessible high-grade gold mineralization immediately below the current productive Level 21 of the Arista mine, and 2) evidence of the robust vertical nature of the Arista epithermal vein system with the continuation of high-grade precious metals at depth. Select highlights from year-to-date 2023 holes in the north-west Arista vein system include:

Switchback Vein System
Infill and step-out drilling from Level 28 in the Switchback vein system continues to successfully confirm the continuity and strength of the South Soledad and Sagrario veins along strike to the south-east and down-dip from the current Switchback deposit resource shell. Recent drilling continues to give strong indications there is potential to discover and expand additional polymetallic mineralization plunging steeply in a south-easterly direction on these veins. The Sagrario and Soledad vein systems continue to show structural integrity at depth along with the continued presence of high-grade precious metals. Drilling during 2023 has also shown the continuity of mineralization in other sub-parallel veins of the central Switchback system. Select highlights from year-to-date 2023 holes from the Switchback vein system are as follows:

1 Net Smelter Return is a calculated value of the estimated net revenues less transportation and refining costs and other miscellaneous payables. Revenue is calculated utilizing metal price estimates of $1,650/oz gold ("Au"), $20/oz Silver ("Ag"), $3.40/pound Copper ("Cu"), $0.90/pound Lead ("Pb") and $1.35/pound Zinc ("Zn"). For more details on the approach utilized to calculate NSR and the metal prices utilized, please refer the Exhibit 96.1, Technical Report Summary for Don David Gold Mine dated December 31, 2022) to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 2, 2023.
2 Estimated True Width (ETW) for reported vein intercepts are based on 3D models of the individual veins. Estimates are determined in cross-section by measuring the modelled vein thickness perpendicular to the vein margins and through the midpoint of the drill hole intercept. Percentage based differences between individual ETW's and downhole interval lengths will vary between drill holes depending on drill hole inclination, variations in vein strike and dip, and overall geometries of the different vein systems.
3 Gold equivalent (AuEq) g/t is calculated based on the gold grade plus silver grade converted to gold grade using an 82.5 ratio (determined by $1,650/ounce gold and $20/ounce silver metal prices).
