(TSXV:SMP)(Frankfurt:5RE)(OTC PINK:SMPEF) has received gold (\"Au\") assay results for 396 sonic drill hole samples from the American Girl and Padre y Madre historical heap leach pads at its Oro Cruz Gold Project in Imperial County, California. Significant assay results were returned from each drill hole and are presented in Tables 1 and 2.Dale Wallster, CEO of Southern Empire stated: \"We are exceptionally pleased with the gold assay results from Southern Empire's first ever drill programs at Oro Cruz. As expected, our sonic drilling proved that gold occurs throughout the vertical dimension of the historical leach pads and this takes us one step closer to ultimately defining a resource for the leach pad materials. We look forward to starting our Phase 2 drill programs soon.\"Table 1: Gold Assay Results for the Padre y Madre Historical Heap Leach PadOro Cruz Gold Project Padre y Madre Heap - 2021 Sonic Drill Program Gold Assay Results Hole NumberFrom / To(ft)From / To(m) *Interval(m) *Assay Range(g Au/t)Weighted Average(g Au/t) PMS-010.0 - 25.00.00 - 7.627.620.511 - 0.9620.691 PMS-020.0 - 35.00.00 - 10.6710.670.126 - 0.7520.344 incl.7.0 - 30.02.13 - 9.147.010.174 - 0.7520.401 PMS-030.0 - 350.00 - 10.6710.670.143 - 1.1900.542 incl.7.0 - 30.02.13 - 9.145.790.314 - 1.1900.833 PMS-040.0 - 30.00.00 - 9.149.140.292 - 1.3900.495 incl.17.0 - 30.05.18 - 9.143.960.346 - 1.3900.715 incl.17.0 - 21.05.18 - 6.401.221.160 - 1.3901.275 PMS-050.0 - 20.00.00 - 6.106.100.303 - 3.1800.866 PMS-060.0 - 20.00.00 - 6.106.100.118 - 0.5740.385 PMS-070.0 - 20.00.00 - 6.106.100.255 - 0.7940.420 PMS-080.0 - 17.00.00 - 5.185.180.216 - 2.0900.609 PMS-090.0 - 10.00.00 - 3.053.050.626 - 1.0600.843 PMS-100.0 - 10.00.00 - 3.053.050.438 - 1.7901.027 * Metres calculated from feet by a factor of 3.2808 Continuing, Mr. Wallster said: \"We are encouraged to continue our assessment of the historical heaps at our Oro Cruz Gold Project.
