(TSXV: SSV) (OTCQB: SSVFF) (Santiago: SSVCL) reported today that it has identified high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralization in a down-dip step-out from previously reported bonanza grade silver mineralization in the Mina La Bocona target area at the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango Mexico.Polymetallic sulphide intercepts from the Mina La Bocona target area include:a 12.1 metre down hole interval (6.3 metre est. TT) averaging 134g/t Ag, 0.5g/t Au 2.3% Cu (461g/t AgEq) including a 2.1 metre down hole interval (1.1 metre est. TT) averaging 567g/t Ag, 2.3g/t Au, 11.2% Cu (2,106g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-135 in the Bocona Chimney; and a 5.4 metre down hole interval (3.8 metre est. TT) averaging 217g/t Ag, 0.3g/t Au, 3.3% Pb and 0.7% Zn (377g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-136 in the Muralla Chimney.The mineralization identified in drill hole 21CLM-135 is an extension of the second, thick polymetallic sulphide lens identified in the Mina La Bocona target area on the eastern side of the Cerro and is an approximate 50 metre down-dip step-out from previously reported bonanza-grade silver in drill hole 20CLM-131 (8.0m est. TT averaging 1,072g/t Ag, 18.8% Pb and 7.5% Zn or 2040g/t AgEq; see NR-02-21). The mineralization is relatively shallow (<350 metres below surface) and remains open to depth for further testing in the remaining drill program. Bocona Oxide-Gold TargetThe Company also reports that it has identified additional gold-enriched intercepts within the near-surface oxide-gold zone, identified earlier in the 2020-21 drill program, which sits above and out-board of the main sulphide targets at Mina La Bocona. Drilling returned:a 6.0 metre down hole interval (4.2 metres est. TT) averaging 241g/t Ag, 1.4g/t Au, 7.3% Pb and 2.5% Zn (686g/t AgEq) including a 1.8 metre down hole interval (1.3 metres est. TT) averaging 525g/t Ag, 3.5g/t Au 15.1% Pb and 2.4% Zn (1370g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-136 starting at 170.3 metres down hole; and several narrower, higher grade intervals including:a 0.8 metre interval (0.4 ...
