Southern Silver Exploration (SSV) has released assay results from its drill program at the Cerro Las Minitas project in Durango, Mexico.
The program has completed 54 drill holes since September 2020, totaling over 21,000 metres. The company has tested over 750 metres of strike length to depths of up to 500 metres, mainly in the South Skarn and Mina La Bocona target areas.
At the South Skarn area, crews intersected shallow, high-grade silver mineralization including a 2-metre interval with average grades of 719 g/t silver, 14.2 per cent lead, and 16.0 per cent zinc.
Assay results from Mina La Bocona included a 0.8-metre interval averaging 452 g/t silver, 0.5 g/t gold, 2.8 per cent lead, and 0.6 per cent zinc. Another hole intersected gold grades of up to 3.0 g/t.
There is one active drill on the property that continues to advance the exploration, with three remaining planned holes on the east side of the Cerro.
Over the coming weeks, the program will shift to “greenfields” targeting on the El Sol claim approximately two kilometres northwest of Mina La Bocona.
Assay results from eight drill holes are pending and are anticipated over the coming weeks.
A total of 150 drill holes totaling over 67,000 metres have been drilled at the Cerro Las Minitas project to date.
