The resource estimate provides initial grade and tonnage estimates for three mineral deposits on the property at the Blind, El Sol and Santo Nino zones which have been the focus of much of Southern’s exploration activities on the property since 2011, but does not include mineralization from the newly discovered Mina La Bocona zone. Further drilling on the Mina La Bocona target is planned for the 2016 exploration program in order to properly delineate this target.

San Marco CEO, Bob Willis stated; “The first stage of target definition is now complete. The incorporation of additional geological information and target prioritization is expected to be completed within two to three weeks. The mere number and quality of targets generated at this point is mind boggling. We have a lot of work to do, such that over the next couple of weeks, the SMN field team is making field access, logistics and personnel preparations so we can ‘hit the ground running’.”

La Soledad, situated approximately 1,000 metres south of the main La Cigarra silver deposit (Las Carolinas Zone) and 500 metres south of the Las Venadas Zone, contains a number of mine dumps and historic mine workings that exploited a series of silver bearing quartz veins. Rock sampling here was conducted over a 500 metre long north-south striking area. Of the 70 rock samples taken during the recent program, one channel sample returned a high value of 252.0 g/t silver and 20% lead over 1.2 metres. In total, 35 samples reported grades exceeding 10 g/t silver with many samples returning high values of lead.
