(TSXV: SSV) (OTCQB: SSVFF) reported today further intervals of gold-enriched oxide and sulphide mineralization in step out drilling as well as a significant downhole extension of earlier reported high-grade, silver-enriched polymetallic sulphide mineralization in drill hole 20CLM-125 at the Mina La Bocona zone, Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango Mexico.New assay results from drill hole 20CLM-125 have extended an earlier reported 19.8 metre down hole mineralized interval to a full 50.6 metres (32.2m est. TT) of semi-continuous mineralization averaging 435g/t AgEq including new higher-grade intervals of:a 9.3m down-hole interval (6.1m est. TT) averaging 344g/t Ag, 0.59g/t Au. 5.7% Pb and 3.9% Zn (728g/t AgEq; 18.5% ZnEq); a 2.2m down-hole interval (1.4m est. TT) averaging 520g/t Ag, 0.34g/t Au, 10.6% Pb and 9.8% Zn (1268g/t AgEq; 32.2% ZnEq); anda 7.5m down-hole interval (5.0m est. TT) averaging 364g/t Ag, 0.3g/t Au, 7.0% Pb and 1.8% Zn (678g/t AgEq; 17.2% ZnEq); Results from drill hole 20CLM-125 have also identified:in the sulphide zone, a relatively narrow interval of bonanza-grade silver mineralization a further 60m down hole and adjacent to the Central Intrusion which returned a 1.4m interval (1.0m est. TT) grading 1070g/t Ag, 0.09g/t Au, 23.3% Pb and 3.2% Zn (1,937g/t AgEq; 49.1% ZnEq). in the upper oxide-gold zone (first reported in NR-16-20, December 16th, 2020) an extension of the zone of mineralization to 56.8m (30.9m est. TT) averaging 0.87g/t Au and 24g/t Ag.The mineralization identified in drill hole 20CLM-125 is the second, thick sulphide zone identified in this part of the Mina La Bocona target area. It represents a 12m to 25m lateral and down dip extension of mineralization first identified in drill hole 15CLM-078 from the 2015 drilling program and opens up the additional potential for further down-dip extensions of the sulphide mineralization which will be a continued focus of drilling in this current exploration program. Results from drill hole 20CLM-127 which was cored up-dip from drill hole 20CLM-125,...
