[{"type":"text","content":"Southern Continues to Extend Mineralization on the Mina La Bocona and South Skarn Targets at the Cerro Las Minitas ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 6, 2021) - Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV: SSV) (\"Southern Silver\") reported today further assay results which continue to extend both shallow gold-silver enriched oxide mineralization and high-grade polymetallic sulphide mineralization at the South Skarn and Mina La Bocona target areas on the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango, Mexico.Newly released polymetallic sulphide intercepts from the Mina La Bocona target area include:a 2.1 metre interval (1.8 metre est. TT) averaging 161g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au, 4.9% Pb and 3.0% Zn (445g/t AgEq) including a 0.5 metre interval (0.4 metre est. TT) averaging 422g/t Ag, 0.4g/t Au, 13.2% Pb and 9.1% Zn (1229g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-151; anda 4.3 metre interval (2.6 metre est. TT) averaging 159g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au, 2.4% Pb and 3.5% Zn (387g/t AgEq) including a 0.5 metre interval (0.3 metre est. TT) averaging 428g/t Ag, 0.2g/t Au, 0.1% Cu, 6.1% Pb and 1.5% Zn (705g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-148; Mineralization identified in drill holes 21CLM-148 and -151 continues to extend earlier identified high-grade sulphide mineralization for up to 450 metres down dip and an approximate 250 metre strike-length at the Mina La Bocona target.This recent drilling at the South Skarn target continues to extend that zone laterally to the southeast and up-dip from earlier reported mineralization in this target area including shallow gold-enriched oxide mineralization from drill hole 21CLM-154 (2.2m est. TT averaging 77g/t Ag, 1.1g/t Au) and deeper, higher-grade gold in sulphides from drill hole 21CLM-155 (1.1m est. TT grading 149g/t Ag and 8.8g/t Au).Other mineralized intervals of note from the South Skarn target include:an 18.1 metre interval (14.0 metre est. TT) averaging 162g/t Ag, 0.2g/t Au, 1.4% Pb and 0.5% Zn (242g/t AgEq) including a 0.6 metre interval (0.4 metre est. TT) averaging 1150g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au, 6.0% Pb and 2.7% Zn (1485g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-155; anda 1.1 metre interval (1.0 metre est. TT) averaging 227g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au, 3.7% Pb and 1.9% Zn (423g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-154;Drilling in 2020-21 on the South Skarn target has now demonstrated continuity of the polymetallic mineralization for over 350 m...
