Viscount Mining (VML) is releasing results from exploration holes at the Passiflora target at its Silver Cliff property in Colorado.

The Passiflora has been a target from early exploration efforts in the Silver Cliff area.

Three additional holes were drilled in the Passiflora target during the 2021 spring campaign.

Viscount has drilled four holes in the Passiflora target to date, with good results.

Viscount drilled one hole in the Passiflora target in 2020 to a depth of 193.9 metres that showed anomalous silver throughout, some anomalous gold as well as strong silica and clay alteration and pyritization over most of the hole.

Anomalous gold mineralization throughout has been noted in the Passiflora target in two holes.

Gold does not seem to be associated with the alteration at the Kate Resource area but is commonly associated with Passiflora alteration metals.

“Intensifying phyllic alteration is visibly evident in drill core from numerous Passiflora holes to the depth of around 200 meters. This information, paired with the known volcanic history of the region, suggests that a porphyry system could lie beneath,” said Silver Cliff Exploration Manager Jacob Hooker.

Vancouver-based Viscount Mining is a project generator and an exploration company with a portfolio of silver and gold properties in the Western United States, including Silver Cliff in Colorado and Cherry Creek in Nevada.

Viscount Mining is unchanged, trading at $0.46 at 10:00 am ET.
