[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 4, 2021 /CNW/ - Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSXV: OCG) (OTCQX: OCGSF) (DE: MRG1) (\"Outcrop\") is pleased to announce assay results from the deepest hole drilled in the San Antonio shoot on the 100% owned Santa Ana high grade silver project in Colombia. This latest hole intercepted mineralization approximately 50 metres below previous intercepts. Two immediately adjacent veins are composited for 4 metres of 484 grams of equivalent silver per tonne, demonstrating how close-spaced packages of narrow veins can be composited together for good widths and grades along hundreds of metres of vein segments. Highlights 4 metres of 484 grams equivalent silver per tonne intercepted. San Antonio along with Roberto Tovar and La Ivana, is the third shoot of where close-spaced narrow vein packages can be composited together to provide attractive widths and grades along significant segments of vein. If San Antonio merges with two adjacent open shoots, cumulatively Santa Ana will contain 2 kilometres of mineralized vein strike distributed within six large high-grade shoots. All shoots open along strike all are open at depths of 200 metres or more. The San Antonio shoot is extended to over 220 metres and remains open. Drilling (DH151) continues to suggest that the San Antonio, Roberto Tovar, and San Juan shoots may converge into a single continuous 1,200-metre-long shoot at depth. \"If San Antonio, Roberto Tovar and San Juan converge at depth,\" comments Joseph Hebert, Chief Executive Officer, \"then the Santa Ana Project will contain almost 2 kilometres of cumulative vein strike distributed in six large shoots all open at depth near 200 metres or more. The extremely high grades in Santa Ana provide flexibility in a potential future mining scenario by allowing compositing multiple close spaced veins for greater thicknesses at good grade.\" Santa Ana Vein System Drilling continues to expand the Santa Ana Vein System. Almost 2 kilometres of cumulative vein strike can be inferred, distributed in six large high-grade shoots. While both high angle and low angle shoots occur, they are distributed in a predictable pattern. North-trending parallel high-angle shoots generally have low-angle shoots between them within north-west connecting structures. The low-angle shoots probably occur within ramps or thrust f...
