(TSXV: SSV) (\"Southern Silver\") reported today further assay results from its 10,000 metre 2020-21 core drilling program nearing completion on the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango State, Mexico. Results include strongly silver-enriched semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralization in the South Skarn target in two diamond drill holes which returned: a 15.6m down hole interval (10.4m est. TT) averaging 172g/t Ag, 3.8% Pb and 3.7% Zn (520g/t AgEq; 10.7% ZnEq) including a higher grade 0.9m interval (0.6m est. TT) grading 975g/t Ag, 21.2% Pb and 18.5% Zn (2,830/t AgEq; 58.5% ZnEq) from drill hole 20CLM-124.a 3.7m down hole interval (2.7m est. TT) averaging 511g/t Ag, 5.0% Pb and 3.7% Zn (907g/t AgEq; 18.7% ZnEq) from drill hole 20CLM-120; The two holes are down-dip step-outs of mineralized intercepts in previously reported holes 20CLM-118 (4.0m of 292g/t AgEq) and 20CLM-119 (6.7m averaging 1454g/t AgEq)(see NR-14-20) and represent the deepest assay results from the South Skarn mineralized zone which has now been largely outlined for over 400 metres down dip and 200 to 300 metres along strike. Two additional step-out holes have been completed a further 100 metres down dip of 20CLM-124, with assays pending. Several more holes are planned along strike, northward, in order to continue definition of these new and high-grade mineralized bodies located on the eastern margin of the central monzonite intrusion (see Figure 1 and Figure 2)Seven holes totaling 3,434 metres have now been completed on the South Skarn target which is located approximately 1 kilometre to the east of the known mineral deposits currently identified on the property. Six holes totaling 1,210 metres have been completed at the Mina La Bocona target located approximately 500 metres to the north of the South Skarn drilling. Assays from these holes are pending.Rob Macdonald, Vice President Exploration stated: \"We began this drill campaign targeting an approximate 30% increase in the Mineral Resources for the Cerro las Minitas project which currently totals 134 millio...
