Canasil Intersects 1.85 Metres with 5.49 g/t Gold and 432 g/t Silver (876 g/t AgEq*) Including 8.83 g/t Gold and 706 g/t Silver (1,411 g/t AgEq*) over 0.60 Metres at the Nora Project, Durango, Mexico

Canasil Resources Inc. (TSX-V:
CLZ, DB Frankfurt: 3CC, “Canasil” or the
“Company”) announces results from three drill holes, NRC-21-13 to
NRC-21-15, completed in Nov./Dec. 2021 on the Candy vein at the
Nora silver-gold project in north-central Durango State, Mexico.
Core drill hole
NRC-21-13 targeted the Candy vein
structure approximately 60 metres (‘m’) down dip below NRC-21-09,
and drill holes
NRC-21-14 and
NRC-21-15 tested a new step out section 60 m north
along strike from drill holes NRC-21-06 and NRC-21-09. All three
drill holes intersected wide altered zones hosting the main Candy
vein structure and a separate footwall vein all returning gold and
silver values consistent with previous drill holes. Drill hole
NRC-21-13 returned particularly high gold and
silver grades, as detailed in the table below:

The intercepts in core drill hole
NRC-21-13 confirm the continuity of the high gold
and silver grades to depth in the Candy vein structure, and
NRC-21-14 and NRC-21-15 confirm
the strike extension of the vein structure to the north. The Candy
vein structure remains open in both directions along strike and to
depth for continued drill testing, and the low base metal values in
these drill intercepts suggest drilling to date is still in the
higher levels of the system.
Canasil President and CEO, Bahman Yamini,
commented: “The results from the second 2021 drill program on the
Candy vein at Nora are consistent with previous drill holes with
high gold and silver grades from multiple mineralized bands within
a wide altered structure. The Candy vein structure remains open for
expansion along strike and to depth, and with additional strong
widespread geochemical anomalies still to be tested throughout the
project area at Nora suggest the potential for a significant
gold-silver mineralized system.”
To date, the Candy vein structure has been
tested with six core drill holes in 2020, NRC-20-01 to NRC-20-06,
and seven drill holes in 2021, NRC-21-09 to NRC-21-15, which have
all cut the vein structure returning gold and silver mineralization
over a strike distance of 500 m of the potential 3-kilometre
strike, and to a depth of 250 m below surface. These core drill
holes have confirmed very high gold and silver values within the
central 175-metre mineralized panel, extending to a depth of 250 m.
There has been no historical drilling at the Nora project and the
2020 and 2021 drill programs are the first ever drill programs
within the project area. The consistently high gold and silver
grades, together with the relatively low base metal values, confirm
the upper levels of a strong gold-silver mineralized system which
is open for significant expansion along strike and to depth.
The November-December 2021 drill program
included three core drill holes, NRC-21-13 to NRC-21-15, for a
total of 892 m, targeted below NRC-20-06 and NRC-21-09 and on a new
step out section to the north along strike from these drill holes,
as shown on the Candy vein long section below.
The drill program was implemented by the
Company’s exploration team in Mexico under the direction of Eng.
Erme Enriquez (CPG). All core samples are logged and prepared at
the Company’s core storage facility in Durango, Mexico, and sent to
ALS Laboratories in Zacatecas, Mexico, for preparation and then on
to ALS Global in Vancouver for gold and silver analyses by fire
assay with an atomic absorption finish (“FA-AA”) on a 30 gram
split, and for silver, copper, lead, zinc and trace elements by ICP
analysis following digestion of 0.50 gram sample in aqua regia.
Over limit silver and copper are assayed using an aqua regia
digestion, followed by ICP-AES or AAS finish, and over limit gold
and silver assayed by gravimetric finish (Au-GRA21 and Ag-GRA-21).
The Company's QA/QC program includes inserting certified analytical
standards and blanks into the sample batches, and the subsequent
diligent monitoring of results for quality analytical
assurance.

About Nora Silver-Gold-Copper-Zinc-Lead
Project, Durango State, Mexico:
The Nora project is located approximately 200 km
north-west of the City of Durango, with good access and
infrastructure. The geological setting is a Tertiary-aged volcanic
flow-dome complex. Gold-silver mineralization is hosted within two
structurally-controlled epithermal veins, Candy and Nora.
Mineralization is typical of that found at many mines in the
region, with gold and silver associated with galena, sulfosalt
minerals and lesser pyrite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. There is
evidence of some historical mining activity on the Candy vein,
which is exposed in discontinuous outcrops for over 900 metres. The
fault structure hosting the Candy vein has been traced for a
distance of over 3 km. Samples of vein outcrop and mineral dumps
from the Candy vein returned significant gold, silver, copper, zinc
and lead values. The second vein, Nora, is found 600 metres
northeast of the Candy vein and can be traced for 230 metres with
widths of over 9.0 metres. Surface samples from this vein returned
anomalous silver values associated with trace sulphides, with a
geochemical signature typical of the higher levels of epithermal
vein systems in the region. The 2020 and 2021 drill programs are
the first drill programs at the Nora project and have consistently
returned encouraging intercepts with high gold, silver and copper
values from the Candy vein.
Historical systematic grid soil sampling over an
area of 3 km by 2 km covering the Candy and Nora veins and
projected extensions, showed elevated silver, base metal (copper,
lead and zinc) and pathfinder (antimony and arsenic) values. The
combination of the vein outcrops with large areas of anomalous
silver and base metal values in soil samples may indicate
additional concealed mineral systems. Other major deposits in the
region include SSR Mining’s La Pitarrilla deposit located 50 km
east of the Nora project.
