[{"type":"text","content":"Southern Silver Intersects 2.7 metres Averaging 599g/t Ag, 16.9% Pb and 10.2% Zn (1530g/t AgEq) at Cerro Las Minitas; Updates Progress on Oro ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2021) - Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV: SSV) (\"Southern Silver\") reported today on further assay results from the Mina La Bocona target on the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango, Mexico. These latest drill results are from the North Felsite chimney, an area located approximately 400 metres to the northwest of the La Bocona and Mina Pina shafts along the eastern side of the Cerro. The newly released polymetallic sulphide intercepts from the Mina La Bocona target area include:a 1.2 metre interval (0.8 metre est. TT.) averaging 760g/t Ag, 23.2% Pb and 17.4% Zn (2169g/t AgEq) within a 2.7 metre interval (1.9 metre est. TT.) averaging 599g/t Ag, 16.9% Pb and 10.2% Zn (1530g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-175; and a 0.7 metre interval (0.4 metre est. TT.) averaging 313g/t Ag, 0.3g/t Au, 7.0% Pb and 1.3% Zn (1011g/t AgEq) from drill hole 21CLM-172These recent results were returned from an area 200m along strike and to the northwest of previously reported sulphide intercepts from 21CLM-167 (1.3m of 513g/t AgEq; see NR-15-21) and 21CLM-164 (10.8m of 234g/t AgEq; see NR-15-21) and have now extended the projection of mineralization beyond the newly modelled La Bocona deposit and into the North Felsite Target area. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depths below 250 metres. Exploration on the CLM property continues with one drill operating. Five additional drill holes totalling 2,093 metres have now been completed in the North Felsite target area, down dip and along strike of the high-grade intercept identified in hole 21CLM-175 reported above. Five holes totalling 1,975 metres have also been completed on the El Sol concession located 2500 metres to the northwest of the La Bocona deposit as part of the company's Greenfields exploration program. Here, drilling targeted northwest and northeast-trending mineralized structures identified in earlier surface mapping and sampling. Assay results from these additional ten holes are pending and publication is anticipated over the coming weeks.Rob Macdonald, Vice President Exploration stated: \"These latest assay results demonstrate the continued exploration potential of th...
