Southern Silver Enlarges High-grade Extension at Cerro Las Minitas Project

Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV:SSV) announced that it has intersected the down-dip projection of two mineralized zones at the Las Victorias target located south of the known mineral deposits at its Mexico-based Cerro Las Minitas project.
According to the press release, the mineral intercepts from drill hole 17CLM-105 are significant because:

• they confirm the extension of the Blind Zone and Skarn Front deposits to the southeast of their previously drilled extents; and
• they open a 500 metre strike-length of new target area for further drill testing.

Highlights from hole 17CLM-105 include:

• a 10.9m down hole interval (6.8m est. True Thickness) averaging 194g/t Ag, 0.8 g/t Au, 4.4% Pb and 2.0% Zn (480g/t AgEq; 13.6% ZnEq) starting at 356.9m downhole, including a higher grade 3.3m interval (2.0m est. TT) averaging 551g/t Ag, 0.8g/t Au, 11.9% Pb and 4.7% Zn (1208g/t AgEq; 34.1% ZnEq); and
• a 13.3m down hole interval (13.0m est. TT) averaging 105g/t Ag, 0.1% Cu, 0.5% Pb and 0.4% Zn (153g/t AgEq; 4.3% ZnEq) starting at 507.6m down hole, including a higher grade 2.5m interval (2.5m est. TT) averaging 318g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu, 1.4% Pb and 0.8% Zn (444g/t AgEq; 12.5% ZnEq).
