Silver Dollar Outlines 2026 Exploration Plans at its La Joya Silver (Cu-Au)
Silver Dollar Resources Inc. (CSE: SLV) (OTCQX: SLVDF) (FSE: 4YW) (“Silver Dollar” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an overview of the 2026 exploration plans for advancing its flagship La Joya Silver (Cu-Au) Project in the state of Durango, Mexico.

Silver Dollar remains focused on its exploration strategy shift from potential open pit to underground development at the 100%-owned La Joya property (the “Property”). The Company is continuing to reinterpret historical data, targeting higher-grade underground mineralization within the 2 x 3 kilometer (km) La Joya mineralized complex.
Priority has been given to enhanced modeling of known high-grade mineralization, detailed underground and surface mapping and sampling, and the re-logging and sampling of select historical drill core. Through these efforts, Silver Dollar is gaining a better understanding of the mineralization and its controls, to guide and plan the next phase of drilling.
The current areas of focus are outside the historic resource areas, proximal to the sides of the intrusive bodies, and share similarities with the style of mineralization found at the nearby San Martin mine, located approximately 25 km southeast of La Joya (Figure 1).
The discovery of San Martin-type mineralization at La Joya (specifically at the Coloradito Intrusive, “El Brazo”) provides evidence supporting the concept of deeper mineralization around main intrusions at La Joya (Figure 2).

Both La Joya and San Martin are situated within the Cuesta del Cura Limestone and the overlying Indidura Formation, along the broadly defined San Luis-Tepehuanes fault system-commonly referred to as the Mexican Silver Belt. These intrusions are of the same age, similar in size and composition, and in both cases, mineralization is concentrated along the contact near the outer limit of skarn alteration surrounding the intrusion. Historically, the San Martin mine reportedly contained more than 300 million ounces of silver, with mineralization extending vertically over 850 meters. Drilling has indicated that mineralization remains open for an additional 400 meters below known intercepts, suggesting depths well beyond 1,200 meters (approximately 4,000 feet). This makes San Martin an ideal exploration model for targeting deeper mineralization at La Joya.
Five targets are being developed at La Joya (Figure 3) to drill test for deep San Martin-type mineralization below known (previously reported) mineralization or magnetic anomalies just off the sides of the…
