Cordero, in my view, is one of the most exciting large-scale development projects in the global mining industry. I am highly motivated by the prospect of realizing significant value for all stakeholders as we work to transform Cordero into a Tier 1 mine. The large volume of silver that Cordero is expected to produce and the excellent outlook for silver as a critical metal in the transition to green energy, also represents a compelling opportunity.”

About Discovery

Discovery’s flagship project is its 100%-owned Cordero project, one of the world’s largest silver deposits. The PEA completed in November 2021 demonstrates that Cordero has the potential to be developed into a highly capital efficient mine that offers the combination of margin, size and scaleability. Cordero is located close to infrastructure in a prolific mining belt in Chihuahua State, Mexico. Continued exploration and project development at Cordero is supported by a strong balance sheet with cash of approximately C$45 million and no debt.
