[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - February 21, 2022 – Highlander Silver Corp. (CSE:HSLV) (CNSX:HSLV.CN) (the “Company” or “Highlander”) is pleased to announce the results from ninety-five (95) due diligence grab and chip samples (including six previously reported) from outcropping exposures on its recently acquired Politunche Property (“the Property” or “Politunche”). Highlander was attracted to the Project based on the extent of historic, high-grade gold and silver surface samples and encouraging drill results, found within an intensely altered package of volcanic rocks. Highlights of the recent sampling include: Of the ninety-five (95) samples collected, twenty-two (22) samples returned gold results in excess of 1.0 g/t. Ten (10) of those 22 samples exceeded 3.0 g/t ranging from 3.01 g/t to 13.20 g/t; Twenty-five (25) samples returned silver results in excess of 50 g/t ranging from 56.5 g/t to 1,535 g/t; The majority of the highly anomalous gold samples are coincident with an historic gold-in-soil anomaly that measures 250 metres by 650 metres that has yet to be drill tested; The silver (g/t) to gold (g/t) ratio is highly variable ranging from 1.8 to 4,650. The spatial distribution and analytical data suggest two mineralizing events, a silver rich base metal phase followed by a gold-silver phase. Ron Stewart, President and CEO of Highlander commented, “The results of our due diligence sampling confirm the presence of a high-grade mineralizing system and clearly demonstrate potential for the discovery of a precious metal deposit on the Politunche property. We intend to systematically map and sample the property to define the size and scope of the mineralized system and develop priority drill targets for testing later in the year. We expect that this work, together with our ongoing exploration of the nearby Alta Victoria project will continue to demonstrate the highly prospective nature of our project holdings. Since initiating the due diligence a total of 95 grab and chip samples have been collected an analysed on the property including 6 results that were previously reported. In addition, 39 soil samples were collected and submitted for multi-element ICP analysis and 243 sample sites were tested with a portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) analyzer. ...
