30,000 METRE DRILLING PROGRAM UNDERWAY TO UNLOCK PARIS
GROWTH POTENTIAL
HIGHLIGHTS
Approximately 30,000m of fully funded drilling targeting growth of the Paris silver resource and
conversion of mineralisation into higher-confidence resource categories.
Program designed to follow up recent high-grade results1
and test extensions to mineralisation
within and beyond the current DFS mine plan.
Assay results expected progressively, with regular drilling updates to be provided as assays are
received and interpreted.
Investigator Silver Limited (ASX: IVR) (Investigator or the Company) is pleased to announce that drilling
has commenced at its 100%-owned Paris Silver Project in South Australia, with a fully funded
approximately 30,000 metre drilling program now underway.
The program follows the successful completion of the Paris Definitive Feasibility Study and recent drilling
results that demonstrated significant opportunities to expand silver mineralisation beyond the current
DFS2
mine plan, including multiple high-grade silver intersections at Paris East and Paris North. The drilling
campaign will focus on resource growth, resource confidence upgrades and further testing of priority
targets across the broader Paris Silver Corridor.
Results from the program are expected to be received progressively over the coming months. Investigator
intends to provide shareholders with regular drilling updates as assay results are received and interpreted.
Investigator Silver Managing Director, Lachlan Wallace, said:
“The commencement of this 30,000 metre drilling program marks an exciting new phase for
the Paris Silver Project. Recent drilling delivered some of the best silver results ever recorded
at Paris and reinforced our belief that there remains substantial opportunity to grow the
silver inventory beyond the current DFS mine plan. This program is specifically designed to
improve our understanding of the broader mineralised system and unlock additional value
around the existing resource.
With mining lease permitting, detailed engineering and financing activities advancing in
parallel, we are excited to be drilling again and look forward to updating shareholders
regularly as results are received over the coming months."

About Investigator Silver
Investigator Silver Limited’s 100%-owned Paris Silver Project is located approximately 70km north of the
rural township of Kimba on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. The Paris Silver Project hosts a JORC 2012
Mineral Resource of 24Mt @ 73g/t silver and 0.41% lead for 57Moz of silver and 99kt of lead. It is a shal-
low, high-grade silver deposit amenable to open pit mining, providing strong leverage to a metal with
growing demand across industrial, renewable energy and manufacturing applications.
Following the successful completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study in February 2026, the Company is
advancing the Project toward development through ongoing permitting, execution readiness and financ-
ing activities, while continuing to assess opportunities to grow the resource base both proximal to Paris
and across its broader South Australian tenure.
