[{"type":"text","content":"Southern Silver Continues to Extend High-Grade Mineralization at Cerro Las Minitas with an 18.9m Intercept of 260g/t Ag, 0.18% Cu, 0.9% Pb and 0.1% Zn (317g/t AgEq; 8.9% ZnEq)Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 6, 2018) - Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV: SSV) (\"Southern Silver\") reported today assay results from initial drilling on its 12,000 metre 2018 core drilling program on the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango State, Mexico which included a thick interval of strongly silver-enriched sulphide mineralization in drill hole 18CLM-110. Highlights for drill hole 18CLM-110 include:an 18.9m down hole interval (15.1m est. True Thickness) averaging 260g/t Ag, 0.18% Cu, 0.9% Pb and 0.1% Zn (317g/t AgEq; 8.9% ZnEq) including a higher grade 5.5m interval (4.4m est. TT) averaging 598g/t Ag, 0.4% Cu, 2.1% Pb and 0.1% Zn (720g/t AgEq; 20.3% ZnEq).The drill hole intersected an up dip projection of the Skarn Front deposit which will complement the current block model and establishes continuity between previously reported mineralized intervals in hole 13CLM-066 (9.3 metres averaging 9.4g/t Ag, 0.13% Cu and 13% Zn — 487g/t AgEq; 13.8% ZnEq; see NR-10-13, July 16, 2013) and hole 15CLM-081 (16.8 metres averaging 136g/t Ag, 0.5% Cu, 0.3% Pb and 4.5% Zn — 361g/t AgEq; 10.2% ZnEq; see NR-14-15, December 1, 2015). Furthermore, the mineralization in CLM-110 is more strongly silver enriched than the previously reported holes from this part of the deposit, reflecting a broad metal zonation within the Skarn Front which is only partially resolved.Drilling also successfully tested extensions of mineralization in the Las Victorias zone returning heavily disseminated to semi-massive sulphide intervals in drill holes: 18CLM-107 with 0.9 metres (0.6m Est. TT) averaging 79g/t Ag, 0.4g/t Au, 1.2% Cu, 0.1% Pb and 14.1% Zn (733g/t AgEq; 20.7% ZnEq), and 18CLM-109 with 2.7 metres (2.0m Est. TT) averaging 88g/t Ag, 0.3g/t Au, 0.2% Cu, 1.1% Pb, 2.6% Zn (257g/t AgEq, 7.3% ZnEq)This recent drilling continues to extend mineralization for over 100 metres laterally to the southeast in the Las Victorias zone which remains open down-plunge for further drill testing.
