"Graduating to the OTCQX Best Market is a meaningful milestone for Pacifica Silver as we continue to broaden our presence across North America," said Todd Anthony, Chief Executive Officer of Pacifica Silver. "Trading on OTCQX will provide greater visibility and more convenient access for U.S. investors as we advance our Claudia Project in Durango State, Mexico."

About Pacifica Silver Corp.

Pacifica Silver Corp. is a Canadian resource company led by a proven management team with decades of mining and exploration experience in Mexico. The company is focused on its 100% owned Claudia Silver-Gold Project located in Durango, Mexico. Spanning 11,876 hectares, the Project encompasses most of the historic El Papantón Mining District where at least nine small mines operated intermittently during the 20th century. Since 1990, sampling and drilling within the Project have returned high-grade silver and gold intercepts across multiple vein systems, with only 10% of over 30 kilometres of known veins having been drilled. Today, the project is a prime target for modern exploration and holds exceptional potential for new high-grade discoveries.
