[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\nVANCOUVER, May 22, 2013 /CNW/ - Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. (NYSE: FSM | TSX: FVI | BVL: FVI | Frankfurt: F4S.F) is pleased to report continued success in the exploration drilling at\n the Trinidad North discovery at the San Jose Mine in Mexico. Drilling\n continues to intercept high-grade silver-gold mineralization over wide\n widths with the mineralization remaining open to the north and to\n depth.\n\n\nJorge Ganoza, President & CEO, commented:  \"What is starting to emerge\n from this discovery is a new zone with consistent grades and\n thicknesses comparable with the best silver deposits in the world.  We\n look forward to the continued exploration of the Trinidad North\n discovery and an assessment of its impact on the company's silver and\n gold production.\"\n\n\nTrinidad North Highlights: \n\n\n\n\n\nHole_Id\n\n\nFrom\n(m)\n\n\nTo\n(m)\n\n\nInterval\n(m)\n\n\nEst.
