Southern Silver Exploration (TSX.V:SSV) (“Southern Silver”) reported today additional assay results from the core drilling program on the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango State, Mexico, which extend to depth earlier reported copper enriched mineralization in hole 17CLM-098.
The mineralized interval in the lower part of hole CLM-098 now totals 53.8 metres (32.8m est. TT) averaging 105.1g/t Ag and 0.9% Cu. The mineralization extends from 1086.0 metres to 1132.9 metres down hole and includes new assays of:
- a 1.8m down hole interval (1.1m est. True Thickness) averaging 406g/t Ag, 3.8% Cu, 0.6% Pb and 0.6% Zn (850g/t AgEq; 24.0% ZnEq), and
- a 8.1m down hole interval (4.9m est. TT) averaging 49g/t Ag, 1.2% Cu and 0.2%
Robert Macdonald, Vice President of Exploration stated:
“The identification of such a thick interval of new copper-enriched mineralization in hole 17CLM-098 is tremendously encouraging and continues to further highlight the potential to both expand the current and develop new mineral resources on the margin of the Central Intrusion.”
