(TSXV: OCG) (\"Outcrop\") is pleased to provide an update on exploration and current drilling in progress at the Santa Ana high-grade silver-gold project located in Colombia.\"It is very encouraging to see significant amounts of coarse vein-boulders on soil lines where veins were projected between workings. Whereas previously the El Dorado vein zone had been only projected - it is now clearly mappable where soil lines consistently encounter the mineralized vein-boulders\", comments Joseph Hebert, Chief Executive Officer. \"And our first four holes at depth in La Ivana have all intercepted mineralization similar to that encountered in the phase one shallow drilling.\"Drilling Progress:The initial objective of current drilling in progress is to define the La Ivana discovery to a depth of 300 metres to build a model of bodies of high-grade mineralization within the vein that can be used to advance other targets on the property and also grossly estimate potential in approximately 14 km of projected vein zones on the project.Four new drill-holes have been completed and the fifth is in progress for a total of 503 metres of drilling. There are significant intervals of quartz-sulfide veins with sulfide-rich halos in the first four holes. Epithermal textures are expressed as colloform, banded quartz and breccias. Massive sulfides are common within vein intervals. Assays are expected over the coming weeks and will be released as they are received. Representative vein intervals are shown in photo 1 and photo 2 below:Figure 1: SALPDH-14 Sulfide-rich section of 0.8m composite of vein plus strongly mineralized sheeted veinlet halo.To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/6343/56226_17973044b4f68a28_002full.jpg  Figure 2: SALPDH-16 1.0-meter vein with massive sulfide (pyrite-sphalerite-galena) in center with closed spaced carbonate- quartz veinlets plus 2% pyrite in hanging wall contact.To view an enhanced version of Figure 2, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/6343/56226_17973044b4f68a28_003full.jpgAfter the La Ivana high-grade zone is delineated to depth, drilling will move successively to nine prioritized targets - the first...
