Southern Silver Exploration Corp. reported today that additional metallurgical test work on the Skarn Front deposit from the Cerro Las Minitas Project has resulted in both the successful separation of a potential “saleable grade” copper concentrate as well as the generation of a cleaner zinc concentrate grading above 50% zinc without sacrificing zinc, lead or silver recoveries.?

Luis Castro, Vice President, Exploration for Endeavour Silver, commented, “These infill drill results helped us meet our goal this year to increase our measured and indicated resources. The high silver and gold grades, excellent continuity of mineralization and significant exploration upside to expand the resources reinforce our view that Terronera has the potential to become the next key asset for the Company.”

Mr. Barry Devlin, Vice President of Exploration, commented, “Our 2018 drill campaign at Alta Gracia was a success on many fronts, particularly the discovery of a wide, high-grade zone within the Independencia vein system and the potential expansion to the Mirador Mine. “

“Underground drilling at Platosa continues to deliver great results,” stated Ben Pullinger, Senior Vice President Geology. “We are especially encouraged by the elevated gold values and significant widths encountered in the drilling at the 623 Manto in EX18UG434 and 435, which exceeded our expectations and are worthy of follow-up.”
