Silver X Announces Filing of Technical Report for the Nueva Recuperada Property Including the Tangana Mining Unit Extension PEA
Silver X Mining Corp. (TSX-V:AGX)(OTCQB:AGXPF) has filed an independent technical report titled "Nueva Recuperada, Huancavelica, Peru. Preliminary Economic Assessment" following its January news release. The report, dated April 4, 2023, provides a preliminary economic assessment for the Tangana Mining Unit extension. It includes updated mineral resource grades but maintains the same tonnage as previously reported. The effective date for mineral resources is corrected to October 31, 2022, from February 13, 2023. The report highlights several categories of mineral resources, including a total of 3.61 million tonnes measured and indicated, and 11.89 million tonnes inferred. The results emphasize the speculative nature of inferred resources and the associated risks as production decisions are not based on proven reserves.
- Updated mineral resource grades enhance project viability.
- Total measured and indicated resources are 3.61 million tonnes.
- Inferred resources reported at 11.89 million tonnes could indicate future potential.
- Production decisions not supported by proven mineral reserves, increasing operational risks.
- Inferred resources considered too speculative for economic viability.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 6, 2023 / Silver X Mining Corp. (TSX-V:AGX)(OTCQB:AGXPF)(F:AGX) ("Silver X" or the "Company") reports that further to its news release dated February 14, 2023 (the "Initial Release"), it has filed pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") an independent technical report titled "Nueva Recuperada, Huancavelica, Peru. Preliminary Economic Assessment" (the "Technical Report") in connection with the Nueva Recuperada Property, including a preliminary economic assessment on the Tangana Mining Unit extension. The Technical Report prepared by LOM Consultants Ltd is dated April 4, 2023, with an effective date of October 31, 2022, and is available on SEDAR at www.SEDAR.com and on the Company's website at www.silverxmining.com.
During the completion of the technical report the Company identified a typographical error in the mineral resource table that was included in the Initial Release (the "Initial Table"). While the Initial Table and the one included in the Technical Report both report the same tonnage, some non-material variation on the grades (which have been updated in the below table) were identified but these do not affect the overall results.
Additionally, the effective date for the mineral resources included in the Initial Table was incorrectly noted as February 13, 2023, when the correct effective date as set out in the Technical Report is October 31, 2022.
Table 1.1 - Nueva Recuperada Mineral Resources (effective date October 31, 2022)
Tonnage | Grades | Contained Metal | ||||||||||
| Category | Mt | Ag | Au | Pb | Zn | AgEq | AgEq (Moz) | Ag | Au | Pb | Zn | |
| Total Measured | 1.94 | 80.5 | 1.91 | 1.87 | 1.17 | 347.11 | 21.55 | 5.02 | 119.09 | 36.3 | 22.6 | |
| Total Indicated | 1.66 | 59.5 | 0.96 | 1.67 | 1.39 | 250.07 | 12.98 | 3.2 | 51.3 | 27.8 | 23.1 | |

Notes:
- The independent QP for the mineral resource estimate, as defined by NI 43‑101, is David Heyl, P.Geo. The effective date is October 31, 2022.
- The estimate is reported for an underground, conventional cut and fill scenario.
- The mineral resource estimate includes two resource models: 1) A block model defined for the core of the resource, estimated through the drilling and mine development; geo-statistical method is the reverse of the distance; 2) a polygonal model for some of the inferred resources based on veins outcrops and surface sampling.
- The approximate cut-off grade applied to all resources is
$60 /t. - These Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability.
- The Mineral Resource estimate follows CIM Definition Standards.
- The QPs of this PEA are not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues that could materially affect the Mineral Resource estimate other than those disclosed in the Technical Report.
Cautionary Statement Regarding PEA
The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Qualified Person
Mr. A. David Heyl, B.Sc., C.P.G., who is a qualified person under NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release for Silver X. Mr. Heyl is a consultant for Silver X.
Cautionary Note regarding Production without Mineral Reserves
The decision to commence production at the Nueva Recuperada Property and the Company's ongoing mining operations as referenced herein (the "Production Decision and Operations") are based on economic models prepared by the Company in conjunction with management's knowledge of the property and the existing estimate of inferred mineral resources on the property. The Production Decision and Operations are not based on a preliminary economic assessment, a pre-feasibility study or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with the Production Decision and Operations, in particular: the risk that mineral grades will be lower than expected; the risk that additional construction or ongoing mining operations are more difficult or more expensive than expected; and production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a detailed economic and technical analysis in accordance with NI 43-101.
