(\"Silver Spruce\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: SSE) (Frankfort: S6Q1) is pleased to announce that its ongoing field exploration work continues to expand the known mineralized areas and has identified additional drill targets for its upcoming program at the Pino de Plata project in western Chihuahua State, Mexico.\"The more work we complete, the better I like it!\" stated Karl Boltz, CEO. \"ProDeMin geologists have discovered new veins and expanded mineralized areas. Their fieldwork continues to advance the potential of the project. We anticipate an exciting Phase I drill program. The challenge continues to be prioritizing the targets from among a growing list of well-mineralized sites.\"Project OverviewThe Pino de Plata project is a classic example of an intrusion-related mineralized system with associated epithermal veining. The project hosts several types of mineralization typically associated with igneous activity. Aqueous hydrothermal fluids derived from the intrusion itself or from super-heated groundwater reacts with the surrounding rocks, causing alteration and contact mineralization in reactive units, particularly limestone, and can deposit minerals at high concentrations in faults, creating veins. Acidic fluids that caused the widespread clay alteration observed in the Terrero-La Perla area can also form disseminated mineralization within the rocks. The geochemical signature from samples taken at the project support this interpretation, with relatively high bismuth (Bi) values, that are generally associated with intrusion-related mineralization, at the eastern portion of the property and higher antimony (Sb) values in rocks from the strongly altered area.\"Detailed mapping of the property including the expanded area of strong alteration at the Terrero target has been the focus of our current field work,\" stated Dr. Craig Gibson, Ph.D., CPG, and founder of ProDeMin. \"Several new veins have been mapped and systematic analysis with our handheld XRF instrument is underway providing real time data on mineralized areas. Pino de Plata has obvious potential with multiple mineralized drill targets.\"Please follow these links to view Geochemical Distribu...
