[{"type":"text","content":"Aftermath Silver's Esperanza Zone Sampling Returns Silver Assays up to 2.7 kg/t, Lead up to 17.9% and Zinc up to 17.4% in the San Andres Mine, Durango, Mexico(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \nVancouver, British Columbia / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / June 19, 2014 - Aftermath Silver Ltd. (the \"Company\" or \"Aftermath Silver\") is pleased to announce the first batch of results from its previously reported exploration program at its San Andres property in Mexico (see news releases #3 and #4). The goal of the program was to demonstrate that mineralization continued outside of the confines of the historical mine workings on the main production vein, Esperanza, as well as further understand the other related mineralized and less developed veins on the property. \n\n\n \nInitial channel sampling focused on the previously unsampled Level 7 of the Esperanza. The 10 samples (see table) taken along 200 m of exposed strike length of the Esperanza vein averaged 606.23 g/t silver, 0.502 g/t gold, 5.5% lead and 4.4% zinc over an average thickness of 27 cm. These results confirm high grade mineralization at the down-dip limits of the historic Esperanza vein workings and thus present an exploration target for down-dip extensions of the vein.\n\n\n \nThe sampling was carried out by Aftermath's geological consultants, Vancouver-based Coast Mountain Geological who had previously completed extensive sampling within the historical workings, dumps and backfill but had never sampled the lowest levels of Esperanza prior to the program.\n\n\n \nAftermath Silver President Doug Ramshaw commented: \"We are delighted to have demonstrated that Esperanza's mineralized potential extends down-dip from the historical workings. Not only are the silver values in line with our expectations we are particularly encouraged by the significant base metal component that appears to be increasing at depth compared to the 2009 sampling programs that focused on the upper levels of mined out workings. We are confident that undeveloped areas of mineralized potential will exhibit thicker zones of manto mineralization similar to that evident in the level 1 through level 6 workings on Esperanza.\"\n\n\n \nFurther sampling of the Esperanza vein was completed in the M10 workings. A total of six samples were taken within the M10 portal workings that have limited extent relative to the Esperanza leve...
