(TSXV: SSV) (\"Southern Silver\") reported today that drilling has identified a new high-grade mineral discovery on the El Sol concession, located within the Cerro Las Minitas project area, Durango, Mexico. The El Sol concession is a largely gravel covered 63ha. claim located on the northwestern boundary of the Bocona block of claims and is adjacent to the Area of the Cerro which hosts the six mineral deposits currently identified by Southern Silver on the Cerro Las Minitas claim package. Highlight Assays include: a 0.8 metre interval grading 1,760g/t Ag, 0.9g/t Au, 23.6% Pb and 1.2% Zn (2,622g/t AgEq) within a 3.5 metre interval averaging 549g/t Ag, 0.3g/t Au, 8.6% Pb and 3.6% Zn (982g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21SOL-003 Drill hole 21SOL-003 is one of five holes drilled in the Autumn of 2021 to test a series of targets defined by surface mapping, rock and soil sampling and proximity to artisanal workings. The highlight interval intersected down-dip of historic workings located on a northeast-southwest trending structure which has been traced on surface for up to 300 metres laterally before plunging under gravel cover. Drill crews have mobilized back to the El Sol concession to complete an additional three core holes before returning to the area of the Cerro for further drill testing on the North Felsite target. Two holes are planned to test down dip of 21SOL-003 and a third hole to test along strike from 13CLM-072 and an extension of the Blind - El Sol zone located in the southwestern part of the claim (see Figure 2). Rob Macdonald, Vice President Exploration, stated: \"The identification of a new high-grade zone continues to highlight the enhanced exploration potential surrounding the known mineral deposits at Cerro Las Minitas. Drilling will continue on the property through early 2022, starting with follow-up drilling on the El Sol concession before transitioning back to the North Felsite target, while the company continues work on a Preliminary Economic Assessment of the known Mineral Deposits to be completed Q2-2022.\" Figure 1: Plan Map of the Area of the Cerro showing...
