Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. updates exploration program at Séguéla Mine in Côte d’Ivoire. Key highlights include high-grade gold intersections at Kingfisher Prospect, Badior Prospect, and Ancien Deposit. Drilling continues to expand mineralization at Kingfisher along over 1 kilometer strike. Infill drilling at Badior confirms high-grade potential. Results from Ancien show high-grade intersections, indicating underground mining opportunities. Exploration at Séguéla to continue throughout 2024 to support resource estimation by 2025.

At Kingfisher Prospect, continuous mineralization has been defined over 1 kilometer of strike, with drilling ongoing to test depth potential of the zone. Associates minerals include silica-biotite-sericite-carbonate alteration and pyrite development. Kingfisher remains open at depth along most of the drilled strike, with drilling to continue for further mineralization discovery.

Badior Prospect drilling program successfully extends high-grade gold core with visible gold associated with quartz-pyrite veining. Results from drill holes include significant gold intersections. Infill and depth extension drilling highlights high-grade potential of Badior Prospect and confirms continuity of mineralization.

Ancien Deposit receives infill drill program to refine controls on high-grade mineralized shoots at depth. Results will support evaluation of underground mining potential at Ancien and within Séguéla land package. Drilling and results from Ancien to contribute to understanding of high-grade mineralization and development of underground mining opportunities.

All drilling data conducted by Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. followed strict QA-QC protocols. Methods included RC drilling using face sampling pneumatic hammers and diamond core drilling.
