Santacruz Silver Mining Returns 6.46 m @ 721 g/t Ag eq, 823 g/t Ag eq at Las Lamas Vein

Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV:SCZ) announced drilling results from their drilling program at  its San Felipe project in Sonora State, Mexico, with a focus on the La Ventana, Las Lamas and Transversales group of veins.

As quoted in the press release:

Las Lamas Vein:
SCLL-05: 6.46 m @ 721 g/t Ag eq. (212 g/t Ag, 0.01 g/t Au, 15.83% Zn, 0.44% Cu and 0.55% Pb).
SCLL-04: 2.41 m @ 823 g/t Ag eq. (324 g/t Ag, 0.01 g/t Au, 14.99% Zn, 0.45% Cu and 0.93% Pb).
La Ventana Vein:
SCLV-01: 5.75 m @ 918 g/t Ag eq. (142 g/t Ag, 0.02 g/t Au, 13.01% Zn, 1.53% Cu and 8.04% Pb).

Santacruz’s President and CEO, Arturo Préstamo, said:

The initial results from the 2013 campaign at San Felipe have exceeded our expectations. The Las Lamas vein which is to the south-west of the more defined La Ventana vein is generating great results. This drill campaign has the potential to expand upon San Felipe’s current resource of over 50 million of silver equivalent ounces, further demonstrating San Felipe is a great asset with strong growth potential. Significant engineering work is underway with a goal of developing a strong understanding of the economic and production potential by year’s end.
