[{"type":"text","content":"Santacruz Silver Continues to Intersect High Grade Mineralization at Its Veta Grande Project in Zacatecas, MexicoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 26, 2019) - Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: SCZ) (the \"Company\" or \"Santacruz\") provides an update from the Phase 1 drill program on the Veta Grande, Armados and Navidad veins that form part of the Company's Veta Grande project located in the Zacatecas mining district, Zacatecas, Mexico (see press release dated July 9, 2018). To date, the Company has completed 43 diamond drill holes totalling 13,665 metres on the property. This update references 24 of the 43 drill holes, representing 7,500 metres of surface exploration drilling at the Garcia and Navidad mines since October 2018 (see news release dated October 22, 2018). Drilling is ongoing. Fourteen drill holes totalling 2,473 metres completed at the Navidad mine (Navidad vein) continues to intersect mineralized quartz veins approximately 20-40 metres below the existing mine workings. In addition, a fan of five drill holes located 130 metres south of the historically mined stopes have confirmed the continuation of mineralization along strike. Drill hole intercept highlights stated as approximate true width include: NA18-009: 761.00 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") silver, 0.20 g/t gold, 0.86 % lead, 1.84 % zinc and 0.04 % copper (918.11 g/t silver equivalent (\"AgEq\")) over 0.55 metres, from 51.20 metres, and NA18-010: 65.05 g/t silver, 0.75 g/t gold, 1.23 % lead, 3.84 % zinc and 0.03 % copper (391.57 g/t AgEq) over 1.94 metres, from 134.85 metres.Ten drill holes totalling 5,027 metres completed at the Garcia mine (Veta Grande and Esperanza veins) continues to intersect the Veta Grande and Esperanza veins approximately 10-100 metres below the existing mine workings on the northwest area of the mine. Drill hole intercept highlights stated as approximate true width include:VG18-010: 227.51 g/t silver, 0.88 g/t gold, 2.71 % lead, 2.64 % zinc and 0.19 % copper (581.47 g/t AgEq) over 2.40 metres from 512.45 metres, andVG18-014a: 280.10 g/t silver, 0.61 g/t gold, 3.60 % lead, 3.24 % zinc and 0.22 % copper (684.94 g/t AgEq) over 1.59 metres, from 489.85 metres.Quartz veins described in this release generally consist of banded, cockade and brecciated quartz vein textures typical of the low-sulfidation epithermal style vein...
