BP Silver Corp. Intersects 10.0 Meters Grading 183.62 g/t Silver and 0.59 g/t Gold, Including 2.0 Meters at 506.50 g/t Silver, at Cosuño Silver Project, Bolivia
Key Takeaways
- •Drill hole CO-0019 intersected a near-surface 10.0-meter interval grading 183.62 g/t silver and 0.59 g/t gold (239.65 g/t silver equivalent), including 2.0 meters grading 506.50 g/t silver and 1.08 g/t gold.
- •CO-0019 also cut a broad lower zone grading 2.49% zinc equivalent over 100.0 meters, while CO-0016 returned 96 meters grading 1.37% zinc (1.91% zinc equivalent) from 4.0 to 100.0 meters.
- •Both drill holes ended in mineralized rock, indicating mineralization may continue at depth and supporting the polymetallic potential of the Jalsuri North target.
- •The mineralization is interpreted as the upper or distal levels of an intermediate-sulfidation epithermal system adjacent to the extensive Cosuño lithocap, suggesting potential for a larger mineralized system at depth.
- •The two holes are northwest step-outs along strike from hole CO-0015 reported on October 20, 2026, further demonstrating continuity of mineralization across the Jalsuri North zone.

Vancouver, British Columbia — (Newsfile Corp., October 28, 2026) — BP Silver Corp. (TSXV: BPAG) (OTCQB: BPSCF) ("BP Silver" or the "Company") has announced additional assay results from two diamond drill holes completed at the Jalsuri North Target as part of its Phase 2 diamond drilling program (the "Program") at the Cosuño Silver Project ("Cosuño") in Bolivia. Drilling continues to intersect significant silver mineralization, in addition to broad intervals of zinc mineralization.
Highlights
- High-grade silver-gold mineralization: Drill hole CO-0019 intersected 10.0 meters ("m") grading 183.62 g/t silver and 0.59 g/t gold (239.65 g/t silver equivalent), including 2.0 m grading 506.50 g/t silver and 1.08 g/t gold (600.04 g/t silver equivalent), starting at 3.0 m depth.
- Additional high-grade silver-gold mineralization: Within the upper mineralized zone, a 5.0 m interval from 4.0 to 9.0 m returned 294.00 g/t silver and 0.81 g/t gold (369.68 g/t silver equivalent).
- Broad zinc mineralization: CO-0019 also intersected a broad lower zone grading 2.49% zinc equivalent over 100.0 m.
(See Table 1 and Table 2, and Figure 3.)
Dr. Stewart D. Redwood, Director and Qualifying Person, stated:
"These two holes at Jalsuri North are mineralized along their entire lengths, with zinc associated with lead, and intersect high-grade silver structures associated with gold, bismuth, copper, antimony, tin and, in some cases, zinc. The geochemical results reveal distinct metal zonation, likely related to variations in temperature within the hydrothermal system. These holes are step-outs to the northwest along strike from hole CO-0015, reported on October 20, 2026, and further demonstrate the continuity of mineralization across the Jalsuri North zone. Similar to CO-0015, both holes are hosted in basaltic andesite and exhibit veinlet, breccia, vug-fill, patchy and disseminated mineralization consistent with an intermediate-sulfidation epithermal system."
Summary of Results
Assay results have been received for two additional drill holes, CO-0016 and CO-0019, completed at the Jalsuri North Target as part of the Company's Phase 2 diamond drilling program (Figure 3; Tables 1 and 2).
Both CO-0016 and CO-0019 intersected zinc mineralization throughout their entire lengths. Notably, CO-0019 also intersected a near-surface 10 m interval of high-grade silver and gold mineralization, in addition to other pathfinder metals. Both holes ended in mineralization, demonstrating the potential for mineralization to continue at depth and further supporting the polymetallic potential of the Jalsuri North target.
The mineralization is interpreted to represent the upper and/or distal levels of an intermediate-sulfidation epithermal system developed adjacent to the extensive Cosuño lithocap. The geological setting suggests the potential for a larger mineralized system at depth. Lithocaps — broad zones of intense hydrothermal alteration that commonly cap epithermal systems — are among the features exploration geologists use to judge whether mineralized structures exposed near surface sit above a potentially larger system at depth.
In detail, the multi-phase, structurally controlled mineralization occurs in several forms, including breccia-hosted mineralization, veinlets, fillings within vesicles in the lavas, disseminations, replacement mineralization, and mineralization within the lower sedimentary conglomerate matrix. The mineral assemblage consists primarily of sphalerite and pyrite, with minor chalcopyrite and galena, accompanied by quartz, calcite, barite, and white clay minerals, including smectite and/or dickite.
Tim Shearcroft, Founder and CEO, stated:
"Intersecting 10 meters grading more than 183 g/t silver, including 2 meters grading over 500 g/t silver, is extremely encouraging. Equally important, both holes intersected broad zinc mineralization and ended in mineralized rock. These results reinforce our view that Jalsuri North may host a substantial polymetallic system with significant potential for further expansion."
Jalsuri North Target
Drill hole CO-0016 intersected a broad zone of polymetallic mineralization within andesitic volcanic rocks, returning 96 m grading 1.37% zinc (1.91% zinc equivalent) from 4.0 to 100.0 m (Table 2). The hole also returned two narrow silver-rich intervals:
- 3.0 m grading 110.60 g/t silver, 0.17 g/t gold, 0.76% zinc, 0.31% copper and 273 ppm bismuth (186.40 g/t silver equivalent) from 13.0 to 16.0 m.
- 2.0 m grading 56.75 g/t silver, 5.65% zinc and 0.714% copper (243.45 g/t silver equivalent) from 52.0 to 54.0 m.
Near the bottom of the hole, the final 2.0 meters, from 98.0 to 100.0 meters, averaged 4.18% zinc and 3.44 g/t silver. Further drilling is required to determine the continuity of the mineralization and its relationship to the broader emerging polymetallic system.
Drill hole CO-0019 intersected 10.0 m grading 183.62 g/t silver, 0.59 g/t gold and 233 ppm bismuth (239.65 g/t silver equivalent) from 3.0 to 13.0 m, including 2.0 m grading 506.50 g/t silver and 1.08 g/t gold (600.04 g/t silver equivalent) from 4.0 to 6.0 m (Table 1; Figure 2).
Mineralization is predominantly hosted within a broad andesitic volcanic sequence containing two distinct styles of mineralization (Figure 3).
Deeper zinc-lead-silver mineralization: At depth, the hole intersected a broad zone of zinc-lead-silver mineralization, indicative of metal zonation within the hydrothermal system, with higher-temperature silver-gold mineralization surrounded by lower-temperature zinc-rich halos. Mineralization continues to the bottom of the hole. Further drilling is required to determine its full extent, continuity, and economic potential.
With both holes ending in mineralized rock and the release calling for additional drilling to define the zone's extent and continuity, upcoming results from the ongoing Phase 2 program along the Jalsuri North corridor are the near-term items to watch.
Table Notes
Table 1 presents silver-dominated intersections with associated gold (Au), bismuth (Bi), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and antimony (Sb), together with silver equivalent (AgEq). Table 2 presents zinc-dominated intersections with associated silver (Ag), gold (Au), bismuth (Bi), copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and antimony (Sb), together with zinc equivalent (ZnEq).
Notes to Table 1:
- Silver equivalent ("AgEq") and zinc equivalent ("ZnEq") grades were calculated using 2025 average metal prices reported by the U.S. Geological Survey: US$38.00 per ounce for silver (Ag), US$1.30 per pound for zinc (Zn), US$3,300 per ounce for gold (Au), US$4.80 per pound for copper (Cu), US$20.00 per pound for bismuth (Bi), US$1.06 per pound for lead (Pb), and US$25.00 per pound for antimony (Sb).
- Recoveries of 90% have been assumed for all metals for illustrative exploration purposes. The Cosuño Project is at an early exploration stage, and no metallurgical test work has been completed to establish metal recoveries. Metal-equivalent calculations are used solely as an exploration tool to assist in evaluating and reporting drill intercepts; they do not represent an estimate of recoverable metal content, net smelter returns or economic value.
- Reported intervals represent core lengths. True widths have not yet been determined.
- Silver intersections were calculated using a cutoff grade of 10 g/t silver, with sub-intervals reported at 30, 60 and 90 g/t silver. Reported intervals may include internal dilution.
- Zinc intersections were calculated at cutoff grades of 0.10% zinc, with sub-intervals at 0.50% and 1.00% zinc. The intervals may include some internal dilution.
