Southern Silver Intersects 26.1 Metres of 67g/t Silver, 2.8% Lead and 3.3% Zinc (239g/t Ageq) on Cerro Las Minitas; Amends Private Placement

03.04.2012  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 04/03/12 -- Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSX VENTUE: SSV)(FRANKFURT: SEG) reported today that newly received assays results continue to extend both the on-strike and depth projection of high-grade silver-polymetallic mineralization at the Blind and El Sol zones on the Cerro Las Minitas project, located in Durango State, Mexico.


El Sol Zone


Drilling on the El Sol zone has returned a 26.1 metre interval averaging 67g/t silver, 2.8% lead and 3.3% zinc (239g/t AgEq) including a 1.8 metre interval averaging 163g/t silver, 6.9% lead and 8.8% zinc (619g/t AgEq) from drill hole 12CLM-044. The hole tested the target approximately 50 metres to the northwest of drill hole 11CLM-027 (24.8 metres of 124g/t Ag, 1.9% Pb and 2.1% Zn), and continues to demonstrate the lateral continuity of this mineralized zone.


Blind Zone


Drilling on the Blind zone continues the process of delineation of the both the lateral extent and internal continuity of the mineralized zone. Results from the northwest extension of the zone include:



-- a 4.6 metre interval averaging 146g/t silver, 3.0% lead and 2.8% zinc
(472g/t AgEq) from drill hole 12CLM-041, and
-- a 4.2 metre interval averaging 145g/t silver, 2.7% lead and 2.0% zinc
(305g/t AgEq) from drill hole 12CLM-043


The company also reported that a silver-enriched mineralized interval, which was identified in drill hole 12CLM-042, has further extended the strike length of drill indicted mineralization in the Blind zone to 800 metres and remains open along strike to the southeast.


2012 Exploration Program


Diamond drilling with two core rigs continues on the Cerro Las Minitas project. One drill rig remains dedicated to the continued delineation of mineralization in the Blind and El Sol zones. The second drill rig is testing specific occurrences located within the area of historic mining and several targets derived from the recently completed surface sampling and an IP geophysical program. Multiple geological and geophysical targets remain to be tested and fully delineated within this portion of the property.


Twenty-nine drill holes totaling approximately 8,030 metres were completed on the project in 2011. An additional 4630 metres in twenty drill holes have been completed to date in 2012, one additional hole is in progress. Assays from six drill holes are pending.


The Company has scheduled 20,000 metres of core drilling in 2012, with the aim of completing a NI 43-101 compliant resource on these first set of targets by Q4 of 2012. This will be the initial milestone toward the Company's goal of delineating a larger, multi-million tonne, high-grade, silver-enriched polymetallic resource on the project.
