(TSXV: SSV) (OTCQX: SSVFF) (\"Southern Silver\") reported today on further assay results from the Mina La Bocona target on the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango, Mexico. These latest drill results are from the Huizache chimney, an area located approximately 80 metres to the northwest of the La Bocona and Mina Pina shafts along the eastern side of the Cerro and within the larger Mina La Bocona Target area. The newly released polymetallic sulphide intercepts from the Mina La Bocona target area include:a 2.1 metre interval (1.4 metre est. TT.) averaging 383g/t Ag, 7.9% Pb and 10.2% Zn (1051g/t AgEq) within a 16.3 metre interval (10.8 metre est. TT.) averaging 102g/t Ag, 1.8% Pb and 1.7% Zn (234g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-164; and a 0.7 metre interval (0.6 metre est. TT.) averaging 543g/t Ag, 0.4g/t Au, 12.7% Pb and 1.0% Zn (1011g/t AgEq) within a 1.7 metre interval (1.3 metre est. TT.) averaging 263g/t Ag, 0.2g/t Au, 6.0% Pb and 1.2% Zn (513g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-167These current results tested down dip of previously reported shallow oxide intercepts from 21CLM-158 (0.5m of 612g/t AgEq; see NR-12-21) and 21CLM-161 (0.9m of 588g/t AgEq; see NR-12-21) and has now extended the mineralized zone on the northwest flank of the Mina La Bocona target to depths of up to 250 metres below surface and remains partially open to depth.Drilling also identified a semi-massive to massive lens of sphalerite-rich mineralization an additional 100 metres to the northwest of the Mina La Bocona target along the eastern side of the Cerro that also remains open to depth. Assays returned:a 0.8 metre interval (0 .7 metre est. TT.) averaging 14g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu and 21.0% Zn (844g/t AgEq) within a 2.8 metre interval (2.5 metre est. TT.) averaging 7g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu, and 10.6% Zn (443g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-170Exploration on the property continues with one drill. One hole remains to be tested on the east side of the Cerro as part of the current drill program which will then transition to \"greenfields\" targeting on the El Sol claim over the coming weeks.
