Capitan Silver Corp. (TSX-V: CAPT, OTCQB: CAPTF) is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing a robust silver-mineralized system in the heart of Mexico’s primary silver belt. The company’s flagship project, Cruz de Plata (the "Silver Cross"), continues to deliver promising results from ongoing drilling, which is defining an intermediate sulphidation epithermal system. Cruz de Plata shares geological characteristics with several high-grade silver deposits in the region, including SilverCrest Metals’ Las Chispas Mine (acquired by Coeur for USD $1.8 billion), Gatos Silver’s Los Gatos Mine (acquired by First Majestic for USD $970 million), and Mag Silver’s Juanicipio Mine (acquired by Pan American for USD $2.1 billion).

Capitan is led by an experienced management team under CEO Alberto Orozco. The team has previously advanced three projects into production, all delivered on time and on budget, culminating in a company with a peak valuation exceeding USD $1.3 billion in 2012. Recent board additions include Mr. Fernando Alanís Ortega, the retired CEO of Mexican mining major Industrias Peñoles (PE&OLES.MX: USD $10.9 billion) and former President of the Mexican Chamber of Mines (CAMIMEX), underscoring the company’s commitment to strong leadership.

Capitan Silver Corp. is fully funded and actively drilling at its Cruz de Plata silver-gold project.
