ABSTRACT:Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 1, 2018) - SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: SIL) (NYSE American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce further Phase III drill results for the Las Chispas Property (the "Property") located in Sonora, Mexico. As planned, the first seven (7) in-fill drilling results are from the Babicanora Vein including Area 51 and Babicanora Central zones. Results for the first five (5) holes from Area 51 show higher grades and greater vein widths overall than previously reported for nearby drill results (see details below and attached Figures). The planned in-fill program is designed to upgrade the current inferred resource at Las Chispas by improving the drill density to approximately 25 metre centres for confirmation of continuity, grade and thickness of the vein. Although these in-fill holes are within the high-grade footprint of the updated resource announced on September 19, 2018 titled "SilverCrest Expands Las Chispas Inferred Resource 4.3 Million Tonnes at 3.68 gpt Au and 347 gpt Ag, or 623 gpt AgEq for 87 MillionOz AgEq; Includes 1.6 Million Tonnes at 1,091 gpt AgEq for 56 MillionOz AgEq", they were not yet part of the resource. N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, "We continue to de-risk Las Chispas with the startup of closely-spaced in-fill drilling for the Babicanora Vein, including the high-grade Area 51 zone. By announcing our best drill hole intercept to date suggests that significant additional potential could be discovered at Las Chispas. Furthermore, we are intercepting high-grade vein mineralization within 5 to 10 metres of our projected target, which helps to increase our confidence in vein location and continuity. With the addition of these first in-fill holes in the Babicanora Vein, we now have an impressive 119 drill intercepts (variable sample widths from 0.5 to 3.2 metres) grading greater than 1,000 gpt AgEq, 30 intercepts greater than 5,000 gpt AgEq and 15 intercepts greater than 10,000 gpt AgEq with our highest single grade being 36,764 gpt AgEq over 0.5 metres from a total of 351 core holes (94,735 metres) drilled to date at Las Chispas. SilverCrest will continue with both its in-fill drilling focused on de-risking our current resources and expansion drilling focused on new discoveries as we systematically work on completing the next updated resource and our Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") inQ1, 2019.
