[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, July 5, 2022 /CNW/ - Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSXV: OCG) (OTCQX: OCGSF) (DE: MRG1) (\"Outcrop\") is pleased to provide an update on its regional exploration and target generation program at its 100% owned Santa Ana high-grade silver project in Colombia. Outcrop continues to define the Aguilar- El Guadual corridor with mapping and sampling. The newly identified Jimenez target central to Aguilar- El Guadual defines a continuous 1.8 kilometre vein zone with veins in adits that assay up to 2,994 grams equivalent silver per tonne which suggests another high-grade outcropping shoot. The Aguilar vein is inferred to be continuous for 4 kilometres to the northeast through Jimenez and El Guadual to the Espiritu Santo target. Aguilar is up to 3.5 metres wide in some locations and native gold, silver, electrum and silver-bearing pyrargyrite are relatively common as strong epithermal textures overprint the two phases of mesothermal mineralization previously recognized at Santa Ana. Highlights Prospecting, mapping, and sampling have extended the Aguilar vein 4 kilometres northeast through Jimenez and El Guadual to Espiritu Santo. Reconnaissance mapping suggests the Aguilar may be part of a vein complex with other parallel veins within a corridor 1.5 kilometres wide, similar to the Royal Santa Ana vein corridor to the north. Aguilar is complex with multiple parallel and intersecting veins. Vein intersections have the potential for local high-grade enrichment in shoots. Historic adits in the Jimenez target show an in-situ vein with up to 6.22 g Au/t and 2,436 g Ag/t, or 2,994 g eq Ag/t. Jimenez may provide another high-grade outcropping shoot. El Guadual appears to show a local gold-bias zoning with grades up to 19.35 g Au/t, possibly related to an observed younger overprint of epithermal mineralization. Current drilling (assays pending) suggests that native silver, electrum and silver-bearing pyrargyrite are more abundant at depth at Maras, San Juan and Naranjo. Discovery holes from the Maras shoot included drill intercepts of 1.85 metres of 7,609 grams silver equivalent per tonne including 0.54 metres of 11,927 grams equivalent silver per tonne and 4.69 metres of 909 grams silver equivalent per tonne (see news release June 13, 2022). \"The surface assays from El Guadual and Jimenez are exciting and show that...
