Silver Dollar Provides Update on Exploration Drilling at the La Joya Silver Project
Assay results are pending, and the Company is fully funded for 2022 exploration
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 23, 2022) - Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE: SLV) (OTCQB: SLVDF) ("Silver Dollar" or the "Company") is pleased to report that a total of 2,424 metres of core drilling has been completed through eleven holes at the La Joya Silver Project (the "Property") located in the state of Durango, Mexico (See Figure 1).
The initial drilling program is focused on the Noria portion of the Property with an emphasis on target development and testing for possible structural extensions of known mineralized zones identified in historical drilling. Drill core sample results are pending for all holes and drilling is now on standby until we receive and interpret assay results.

The Company has experienced multiple missed deadlines for the sample assay results. This was due to issues with the original accredited lab apparently related to Omicron, prep lab backlogs, personnel changes, and internal operational issues. Upon learning of the most recent delay, the Company has taken immediate action and within 48-hours has now moved the drill core sample pulps to another accredited lab that has promised the analytical results in a shorter time frame.
"Delays with the original lab were beyond our control and we have now taken steps to mitigate the issue," said Mike Romanik, president of Silver Dollar. "Additionally, Versa Perforaciones has left their drill rig on site so we can resume exploration drilling as soon as we have interpreted the initial drill results and plotted our next set of drill holes."
Mike Kilbourne, P.Geo., an independent Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release on behalf of the Company.
