This mineralization indicates a robust silver endowment and shows the potential for high grades in the eastern block of the El Picacho district.Additionally, eleven channel and rock samples have returned values greater than 1 g/t silver in a coherent anomaly that covers an area measuring 500m by 600m. This area is an extension of the Dos Amigos vein into the eastern block (Figure 1).The high silver values and the broader zone of anomalous silver zone are considered to represent the upper extents of deeper vein system along strike from SilverCrest Metal's El Picacho Project. The portion of the El Picacho district on SilverCrest's ground consists of seven epithermal veins with over 10 kilometres of strike length. Veining and alteration on surface defines extensions of these veins eastward onto the Cumaro project that have never previously been drilled.The Cumaro project exploration is early stage and these results represent the first of several steps designed to advance the Cumaro Project to a drill ready status.Heliostar Exploration VP, Sam Anderson, commented, \"We are excited by the silver results from the start of the Cumaro sampling and mapping campaign. These assays support our theory that Cumaro hosts precious metals veining and mineralization at depth that is the along-strike extension of known veins at Picacho. Further work is underway to follow-up these results, to sample the western portion of the claim and advance the project to a drill-ready status.\" Cumaro DetailThe Cumaro project is a five square kilometre inset claim within the El Picacho district and ho...
