Southern Silver Intersects High-grade Massive Sulphides in Final Drill Hole at Cerro Las Minitas

Southern Silver Exploration (TSXV: SSV) (“Southern Silver”) reported today that it has intersected high-grade massive sulphides in the final hole of the 2017 exploration program at the Cerro Las Minitas project. The massive sulphide intercepts were contained within a broader mineralized zone in drill hole 17CLM-106 that supports continuity within the newly defined Skarn Front.
Drill hole 17CLM-106 continues the identification of mineralized intercepts into the newly defined Skarn Front which forms a large anomalous zone, approximately 800m x 600m, located at depth beneath the Blind and El Sol zones.

The drill hole tested an area of the Skarn Front extending approximately 400m between the previously reported intercepts in drill holes 17CLM-095 (8.0 metres est. TT of 602g/t Ag, 7.1% Pb and 17.9% Zn; 1488g/t AgEq or 42% ZnEq – see NR-06-17) and 17CLM-098 (8.7 metres est. TT of 288g/t Ag, 2.0% Cu 0.8%Pb and 1.2% Zn; 575g/t AgEq or 16.2% ZnEq).
Hole 17CLM-106 increases the continuity of the mineralization between these holes and opens up further exploration potential.
