(TSXV:AGX)(OTC Pink:WRPSF) (\"Silver X\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report recent systematic surface channel sampling results along 1.8 kilometres of the Cauca silver-gold-polymetallic vein at its Nueva Recuperada project in Huancavelica, Perú. The outcropping Cauca vein extends over 1.77 kilometres at surface at an average width of 1.8 metres and grades up to 1,296 g/t AgEq. The interpreted strike-length of the vein is 2.2 kilometres long. Preliminary sampling results from the Cauca mineralized structure where it is exposed on surface indicates that it may be longer, wider, and have better grades at surface than the parallel Tangana 2 mineralized structure. The two Tangana structures underpin the Tangana Mining Unit that is currently providing ore to the process plant at a rate of 600 tonnes per day. Follow-up exploration has determined structural controls on mineralization in preparation for an initial underground resource drill campaign. Pending further positive geochemical sampling results, the proximity of the Cauca vein to the Tangana Mining Unit located 450 metres to the south, will facilitate low-cost development and mining through an existing underground crosscut interconnecting the structures.The Cauca silver-gold-polymetallic vein is hosted within a volcanic terrane incorporating significant zones of magmatic breccia with intermittent andesitic dome occurrences. Narrow dykes of biotitic diorite intrusive have been encountered in drilling. The surface exposure of the vein occurs over 1.77 km at an aver...
