(TSXV: SSV) (OTCQB: SSVFF) (Santiago: SSVCL) (\"Southern Silver\") reported today initial assay results from its 10,000 metre 2020-21 core drilling program on the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango State, Mexico which included intervals of strongly silver-enriched semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralization in drill hole 20CLM-119. Assay highlights include:a 9.0m down hole interval (6.7m est. True Thickness) averaging 625g/t Ag, 11.8% Pb and 7.5% Zn (1,454g/t AgEq; 30.0% ZnEq) including a higher grade 2.3m interval (1.7m est. TT) averaging 1,338g/t Ag, 25.9% Pb and 17.6% Zn (3,201g/t AgEq; 66.1% ZnEq) from drill hole 20CLM-119; and a 6.9m down hole interval (4.0m est. TT) averaging 109g/t Ag, 1.8% Pb and 2.1% Zn (255g/t AgEq; 7.2% ZnEq) including a higher grade 1.2m interval (0.9m est. TT) averaging 412g/t Ag, 7.8% Pb and 9.2% Zn (1,174g/t AgEq; 24.3% ZnEq) from drill hole 20CLM-118.The two drill holes are the first results in 2020 for the South Skarn target, which extends for over 500 metres of strike on the eastern side of the Cerro and has been tested to depths of over 450 metres. The South Skarn target is approximately 1 kilometre away from the known mineral deposits currently identified on the property. The holes are lateral and up-dip step-outs from previously reported mineralization in hole 13CLM-68 which returned 13.9 metres (8.4m est. TT) of 136g/t Ag, 2.4% Pb and 1.3% Zn (326g/t AgEq; 6.3% ZnEq; see NR-15-13) and establish the continuity of mineralization in the shallower parts of the South Skarn zone. Five holes totaling 2,191 metres have now been completed on the South Skarn target. Several additional holes are planned which will test the target to depths of up to 600 metres below surface. Rob Macdonald, Vice President Exploration stated: \"The mineralization identified in 20CLM-119 is comparable in both grade and thickness to several mineralized intercepts previously identified by Southern Silver at the South Skarn and Bocona targets in drilling between 2011 to 2015 and provides confidence in our targeting as we work to c...
