VANCOUVER, B.C., April 5, 2022: Silver Wolf Exploration Ltd. (OTCQB: SWLFF) (TSX-V: SWLF) (“Silver Wolf” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received the assay results from eighty-eight (88) grab samples collected during the on-going surface sample program at the Ana Maria Property, located 21 kilometres (km) northwest of the City of Gómez Palacio and the adjacent City of Torreón. The property consists of 9 mining concessions encompassing 2,549 hectares (ha).
“In this round of sampling we focused on the southern claim and were rewarded with some fantastic results” said Peter Latta, President. “The results of these samples confirm the presence of high-grade lead and silver typically associated with high grade intrusion related carbonate replacement deposits. We continue our methodical approach to exploration using capital very efficiently and carefully as we refine our drill targets based on the understanding of the geological structures and alterations. We are encouraged by several other areas in the southern claim block that are showing significant mineralization. In addition, we are deepening our understanding of the structures that could support substantial geometry and potentially yield a large discovery. We are waiting for the final geophysical data interpretation, due imminently to corroborate our drill targets for later this year.”
Ana Maria Exploration Work
The southern claim of Ana Maria is hosted by the cretaceous aurora limestone formation. The geological team has been documenting the hydrothermal alteration assemblages and zoning patterns around the known carbonate replacement deposit mineralization showings and prospects. The CRD target zones are based around known CRD prospects with mappable alteration signatures and in structural settings in the hinge zones or anticlines where possible stacked deposits may reside. The southern Claim for the Ana Maria property is shown in Figure 1 with location of samples with lead, zinc or copper grades greater than 0.1%. These grab samples are listed with the assays results in Table 1. The numbers listed in the figures correspond to the sample number in the full list, which is available on our website, and in Table 1.
Silver Wolf has been following a structured approach to exploration, as laid out in the NI 43-101 Technical Report which is filed on SEDAR, consisting of field mapping, sampling, lidar and hyperspectral imaging and electromagnetic geophysical surveying. The Silver Wolf geological team will interpret the data and finalize the drill targets planned for 2022.
Highlights from Ana Maria Central and Ana Maria South are indicated in the tables below. The complete list of the samples is available at this link.

Figure 1: Ana Maria Southern Claim Showing Sample Numbers with Significant Results
Silver Wolf has updated the mineral contouring maps seen in the September 27, 2021, and the January 18. 2022 news releases with the additional sampling data and this is shown in Figures 2-4. These maps show the intensity and reach of the respective element being mapped. The grade contours represent anomalies, that, when overlayed with the anomalies generated in the geophysical, hyperspectral and satellite surveys will provide a basis for prioritizing drill targets.
