Silver Standard: Silver Mineralization Reported From Three Target Areas At Pirquitas

Silver Standard Resources (TSX:SSO) announced the interception of three silver and zinc mineralized zones from three target areas at its Pirquitas mine in Argentina.

As quoted in the press release:

Cortaderas Breccia Target:

• DDH-238: 27 meters at 202 g/t Ag and 9.8% Zn
• DDH-241: 164 meters at 97 g/t Ag and 3.9% Zn
• DDH-243: 23 meters at 388 g/t Ag and 9.7% Zn

Oploca Vein Depth Extension:

• DDH-244: 0.6 meters at 7,600 g/t Ag and 16.9% Zn
  2.5 meters at 469 g/t Ag and 2.5% Zn
  2.0 meters at 2,280 g/t Ag and 0.1% Zn

• DDH-247: 1.65 meters at 119 g/t Ag and 7.3% Zn

Portal Drilling Target:

• DDH-237: 7 meters at 426 g/t Ag and 1.6% Zn
• DDH-239: 16 meters at 61 g/t Ag and 4.4% Zn

Ron Burk, Silver Standard Vice President of Exploration, commented:

These drill results demonstrate that the Cortaderas Breccia deposit extends beyond the eastern limits of the Inferred Mineral Resource reported last November. Specifically, holes DDH-238, DDH-241 and DDH-243 were drilled, respectively, 50, 75 and 110 meters to the east of DDH-230¹, and contain significant silver and zinc mineralization.
