[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, June 13, 2022 /CNW/ - Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSXV: OCG) (OTCQX: OCGSF) (DE: MRG1) (\"Outcrop\") is pleased to announce additional results from Las Maras target including 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. These intercepts represent the highest-grade and thickest intercepts respectively drilled on Santa Ana to date. Las Maras remains open along the surface and at depth. Highlights New results reported for Las Maras provide both the thickest and the highest-grade (by grams x metres) drill intercepts to date on the Santa Ana project. 1.85 metres of 7,609 grams equivalent silver per tonne, including 0.54 metres of 11,927 grams equivalent silver per tonne intercepted. 4.69 metres of 909 grams equivalent silver per tonne intercepted. New Las Maras shoot is the eleventh shoot discovered at Santa Ana and is a kilometre step out south from the San Antonio shoot along the Royal Santa Ana vein system. Veins are inferred to widen as drilling moves south in the system which is open to the Frias and Porvenir mines, 10 and 15 kilometres to the south respectively. \"The results from Las Maras provide our best drill intercepts in terms of both thickness and grade to date on the Santa Ana project. Outcrop believes this is an indicator of significant upside to the quality of discoveries on Santa Ana,\" comments Joseph Hebert, Chief Executive Officer. \"We have eleven high-grade shoots that accumulate over 2.8 kilometres length of potential resource areas to include in a compliant resource before the end of 2022. Also prioritized targets are being generated and drilled within an area twice the scale of that drilled on to date.\" Las Maras shows an average intercept width of 2.2 metres and a weighted average grade of 1,909 silver equivalent grams per tonne from significant assays to date from six drill-holes. Drilling is near the intersection of the north-northeast trending Maras vein set and the northeast trending Las Peñas vein set. Locally Las Maras shows abundant native silver and electrum and up to 25% sulfide of combined pyrite, sphalerite and galena. Las Penas vein is the area of focus and extends from surface at a high angle to at least 1...
