[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 9, 2022 /CNW/ - Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSXV: OCG) (OTCQX: OCGSF) (DE: MRG1) (\"Outcrop\") is pleased to announce the results of additional core holes which successfully tested Las Maras target at depth on its 100% owned Santa Ana high-grade silver project in Colombia. Fourteen drill holes have been completed to date. Eight have returned high-grade assays, and two holes have assays pending. Las Maras continues to expand and provide exceptional high-grade intercepts. On a gram x metres basis, the new results from Las Maras provide the thickest and highest-grade drill intercept to date on the Santa Ana project. For all significant drill-holes, Las Maras has an average intercept width of 3.07 metres and a weighted average grade of 1,583 grams equivalent silver per tonne. Highlights· 8.97 metres of 1,651 grams equivalent silver per tonne, including 0.66 metres of 15,941 grams equivalent silver per tonne intercepted in DH 274. For all significant intercepts to date in Las Maras the weighted average grade is 1,583 grams equivalent silver per tonne over an average width of 3.07 metres. New drill results extend Las Maras high-grade mineralization to 200 metres strike and 200 metres depth, open to the south and at depth (Figure 3). The best project to date drill intercept record was superseded in June, July, and August by successively higher gram x metre values. Pending drill-hole assays from Las Maras show abundant native silver and electrum suggesting high-grade mineralization will continue to the south and at depth. \"Las Maras results continue to be very robust as we look forward to our year-end Resource Estimation. Drill hole DH274 returned the highest silver equivalent grade assayed in a drill core sample in the history of Santa Ana with an absolutely stunning 15,941 grams equivalent silver per tonne,\" commented Guillermo Hernandez, Vice President of Exploration. \"We remain focused on our delineation drill program on Las Maras and other shoots to fully understand and delineate their extent.\" \"As geologic and exploration models become more refined, the Santa Ana team continues to break its records for the best intercept on the project,' comments Joseph Hebert, Chief Executive Officer. \"This reflects the team's commitment to bringing the quality Santa Ana discovery to t...
