Exploration Recommences on Southern Silver’s Oro and Cerro Las Mintas Projects
Southern Silver also reported that crews have mobilized and that soil sampling is underway as part of the next phase of work on the Cerro Las Minitas project, located in Durango, Mexico. The work will target new discoveries on the largely gravel-covered property. The sampling program will further evaluate targets developed during the Company’s detailed re-evaluation of airborne and ground geophysics, property-wide biogeochemical surveys, and soil and float sampling completed by Southern Silver over the last several years. Initial work has started with step-out soil lines to determine the potential strike-length of a 500 metre-long gold-in-soil anomaly in Target Area 1 (Figure 2), located about 4 km to the southwest of the Blind, El Sol and Santo Nino deposits. Follow-up drilling is anticipated as new targets are developed and refined.
