(TSXV: SSV) (\"Southern Silver\") reported today final results from the 2018 core drilling exploration program on the Cerro Las Minitas project. Twenty-one drill holes totaling 10,157 metres were completed in both the Area of the Cerro and various other targets in the more recently acquired Ag-Au epithermal CLM West claim group. Eleven core holes totaling 6,632 metres were completed in the Area of the Cerro with a focus towards further mineral resource expansion. Drilling tested the lateral extensions of mineralization in the North Skarn target and the Las Victorias target and grade gaps in the central part of the Skarn Front target.Highlights from the most recent drilling in the central part of the Skarn Front include:a 2.6m down hole interval (2.0m est. True Thickness) averaging 409g/t Ag, 0.9% Cu, 0.8% Pb and 8.4% Zn (871g/t AgEq; 24.6% ZnEq) including a 0.6m (0.5m est. TT) grading 477g/t Ag, 3.7% Cu, 0.6% Pb and 32.3% Zn (2181g/t AgEq; 61.1% ZnEq) in drill hole 18CLM-115; and a 1.0m down hole interval (0.8m est. TT) averaging 640g/t Ag, 1.0% Cu, 16.7% Pb and 22.4% Zn (2117g/t AgEq; 59.8% ZnEq) in drill hole 18CLM-115; The drilling fills a grade gap within the Skarn Front deposit and demonstrates the continuity of the higher-grade mineralization with previously reported intercepts from drill holes 15CLM-081 (16.8m down hole interval 136g/t Ag, 0.5% Cu, 0.3% Pb and 4.5% Zn or 361g/t AgEq; see NR-14-15, December 1, 2015) and 18CLM-091 (15.1m down hole interval averaging 39g/t Ag, 0.1% Pb and 10.2% Zn (410.7g/t AgEq; 11.6% ZnEq; see NR-01-17, January 19, 2017).In the Las Victorias zone, drill hole CLM-117 tested a 200 metre lateral and down-dip step-out to the southeast of earlier drilling and returned: a 2.3m down hole interval (1.2m est. TT) averaging 202g/t Ag, 1.6g/t Au, 3.8% Pb, and 1.8% Zn (501g/t AgEq; 14.2% ZnEq); and a 2.8m down hole interval (2.4 est TT) averaging 71g/t Ag, 0.1% Pb and 3.3% Zn (220g/t AgEq; 6.2% ZnEq).These new intercepts help maintain and extend continuity within the 300m x 300m tested area, particularly of the high-grade hanging wall mineralization, in Las Victor...
