(TSXV: SSV) (\"Southern Silver\") reported today further assay results from the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango, Mexico, which continue to extend shallow, strongly silver-enriched sulphide mineralization in the South Skarn target area and identify significant silver and gold assays from the Huizache chimney at the Mina La Bocona target.The newly released polymetallic sulphide intercepts from the South Skarn target area include:a 2.0 metre interval (1.4 metre est. TT) averaging 719g/t Ag, 14.2% Pb and 16.0% Zn (1791g/t AgEq) including a 1.5 metre interval (1.1 metre est. TT) averaging 946g/t Ag, 18.7% Pb and 21.1% Zn (2358g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-159; and a deeper interval gradinga 0.5 metre interval (0.4 metre est. TT) averaging 541g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au, 8.8% Pb and 4.0% Zn (981g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-159; These highlight intercepts from drill hole 21CLM-159 which were intersected less than 200 metres below surface, fill a significant gap between mineralization identified in this current 2020-21 drill campaign and that identified in the earlier 2012-13 drilling and help build continuity within the known mineralized zones identified at the South Skarn target. Current modelling has identified three panels of mineralization at the South Skarn target, the largest of which can now be traced laterally for approximately 400 metres and up to 580 metres down-dip. Southern also reported additional assays from drilling at the Huizache chimney in the Mina La Bocona target area. New Assay results include:a 0.8 metre interval (0.5 metre est. TT) averaging 452g/t Ag, 0.5g/t Au, 2.8% Pb and 0.6% Zn (612g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-158; a 0.8 metre interval (0.5 metre est. TT) averaging 27g/t Ag, 3.0g/t Au, 2.8% Pb and 0.6% Zn (612g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-158; anda 1.3 metre interval (0.9 metre est. TT) averaging 312g/t Ag, 0.12g/t Au, 2.8% Pb and 0.6% Zn (612g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-158; The Huizache chimney is the third high-grade zone identified in the Mina La Bocona target area where previously reported drilling identified bonanza-grade silver m...
