[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 5, 2020) - Silver Sands Resources Corp. (CSE: SAND) (\"Silver Sands\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that the Company and Mirasol Resources Ltd. technical teams have reviewed and approved the Virginia Silver Project Phase I exploration program and budget. The initial program will include diamond drilling, excavator supported trenching and Pole Dipole Induced Polarization (PDP IP) surveys directed at a number of the under-explored veins peripheral to the veins hosting the current resource. Highlights Initial fieldwork is expected to commence at the end of August/ early September; 2,570 metres of diamond drilling over 6 veins; + 1,500 linear metres of excavator trenching over 12 veins; and, 40-line km of PDP IP over 8 veins. \"We are eager to advance the Virginia Project in collaboration with Mirasol Resources as the operator of this program,\" commented Keith Anderson, President & CEO. \"Phase I will test a number of high quality under-explored vein targets and drill known targets with the goal of increasing the resource and continuity. With full anticipation of exploration success, we look forward to providing a steady flow of catalysts to our shareholders in the coming months.\" Figure 1. 2020 Drilling Plan The initial phase of diamond drilling this year will focus on the following vein structures: Ely Central, Martina, Margarita, Naty West, Roxanne and Magi. These veins, along with additional untested veins, were one of the key features that attracted Silver Sands to the Virginia project, as they show similar characteristics and/or grades to the previously drilled structures, suggesting a high likelihood of further drilling success. Ely Central - drill between the Ely North and Ely South Resource Blocks Magi - follow up down dip drilling of initial results of 37.97 g/t Ag over 5.4 m and 40.73 g/t Ag over 16.7 m Margarita - drill test beneath surface and trench samples with highlight values to 1720 g/t Ag Naty West - drill test beneath surface and trench samples with highlight values to 25,080 g/t Ag Roxanne - drill test beneath surface and trench samples with highlight values to 2,880 g/t Ag Martina - drill test to the north of the existing Martina Resource Block Patricia / Daniela - drill test beneath surface and trench samples with highlight values of 29,38...
