[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 8, 2021) - Kuya Silver Corporation (CSE: KUYA) (OTCQB: KUYAF) (FSE: 6MR1) (the \"Company\" or \"Kuya\") is pleased to announce the results of a recent surface sampling program to prospect the Bethania extension zone and the vicinity of the historical Española 2 adit. This batch of the program consisted of 97 rock chip samples, employing a combination of trenching to expose bedrock and outcrop along visible or inferred vein zones. Of the 97 samples reported, 76 were taken from veins (observed or inferred) and 21 samples taken from altered or unmineralized host rock (hanging wall or foot wall). These sampled vein zones are located approximately 600 metres to 1000 metres from the main Bethania adit and 100 metres to 500 metres east of easternmost underground development. When mineralized, the vein zones sampled reported anomalously high silver and lead, and in some cases anomalous gold. Anomalous zinc and copper grades, which can be associated with silver mineralization in the fresh veins underground, were rarely observed on surface. Highlights of the Program The easternmost zone sampled a newly identified vein at surface called the Santa Elena vein, roughly 500 metres along strike of the eastern limit of the Española underground workings. Samples were taken at 10 metres intervals along surface exposure of the vein system. Seven consecutive samples distributed over 60 metres in length averaged 698 g/t (22.4 oz/t) silver, 2.79 g/t gold and 3.07% lead (30.9 oz/t silver equivalent*). Results from the Santa Elena vein included: 2833 g/t (91.1 oz/t) silver, 5.20 g/t gold and 10.6% lead (110.7 oz/t silver equivalent*) 300 g/t (9.6 oz/t) silver, 11.03 g/t gold and 2.17% lead (35.5 oz/t silver equivalent*) 812 g/t (26.1 oz/t) silver, 0.32 g/t gold and 4.82% lead (30.6 oz/t silver equivalent*) A second zone of interest is located at the intersection between a parallel vein structure to the Española 2 vein and a newly identified Samantha Vein. At the vein intersection, four consecutive samples distributed over 30 metres in length (NW-SE) averaged 258 g/t (8.3 oz/t) silver and 2.84% lead (10.5 oz/t silver equivalent*). Along the Samantha vein three consecutive samples distributed over 20 metres in length (WNW-ESE) averaged 171 g/t silver (5.5 oz/t) silver and 2.33% lead (7.3 oz/t sil...
