(TSXV: OCG) (\"Outcrop\") is pleased to announce channel sample results and provide an update on the current drill program underway on its high-grade silver-gold Santa Ana project in northern Tolima department, Colombia.Santa Ana is a Spanish colonial-era silver district-famous for its high-grade silver mines and greater than one-hundred-year production history. Outcrop is currently drilling the La Ivana target which contains three of the 14 historic mines on the Santa Ana property that are named in the Royal Spanish Archives and reported as averaging 4 kg Ag/t from 1.4m average vein widths. Outcrop has completed additional surface rock sampling and trenching of veins at the La Ivana target area where six or more subparallel vein zones extend for more than 1 km. In addition, a newly discovered northwest vein set splays off or intersects the La Ivana veins. The vein zones comprise a package of multiple narrow, high-angle veins occurring within a width of 20 to 50m. Highlights of the current surface program up to December 2019 include:0.7m of 21.3 g Au/t and 303 g Ag/t 2.0m of 0.7 g Au/t and 623 g Ag/tFor full results of the surface rock sampling and trenching program on the La Ivana target up to October please see news release dated October 30, 2019, with highlights including:2.0m of 42.4 g Au/t and 338 g Ag/t2.4m of 31.8 g Au/t and 143 g Ag/t1.2m of 3.5 g Au/t and 478 g Ag/tLa Ivana is located 1.2km to the north of the Royal Mines target in a parallel vein system.
