[{"type":"text","content":"Southern Silver Intersects 6.3 Metres Averaging 874g/t AgEq at Cerro Las Minitas Project in Durango, MéxicoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 19, 2026) - Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV: SSV) (the \"Company\" or \"Southern Silver\") reports additional assays from drilling which further extend mineralization on the Puro Corazon claim and continues to identify thick intervals of high-grade and strongly silver-enriched polymetallic mineralization. This current update includes results from five new core holes from the 2025-26 drill program and an extension of a single hole, originally collared in 2012. The highlight assays include bonanza-grade mineralization from a hangingwall zone that correlates with mineralization in the Blind Zone deposit outside of the Puro Corazon claim and returned:a 6.3 metre interval averaging 395g/t Ag, 0.8%g/t Cu, 6.8% Pb and 10.8% Zn (874g/t AgEq), including a 1.5 metre interval averaging 886g/t Ag, 0.8% Cu, 16.3% Pb and 30.2% Zn (2062g/t AgEq)(1) from drillhole 26CLM-217;Additional highlights include results from holes which tested the Puro Corazon skarn and returned: a 12.0 metre interval averaging 138g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au, 2.0% Pb and 1.6% Zn (225g/t AgEq), including a 3.3 metre interval averaging 173g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au, 4.8% Pb and 5.2% Zn (414g/t AgEq)(1) from drillhole 26CLM-42A; anda 3.5 metre interval averaging 111g/t Ag, 0.6% Cu, 4.7% Pb and 8.8% Zn (484g/t AgEq), including a 1.2 metre interval averaging 142g/t Ag, 0.9% Cu, 7.2% Pb and 18.0% Zn (827g/t AgEq)(1) from drillhole 26CLM-220.(1) see AgEq calculation criteria in notes to Table 1. Intervals are reported as estimated true thickness unless otherwise indicatedMineralization in these holes is localized within the skarn-altered halo immediately adjacent to the central intrusion or alternatively, form carbonate replacement zones, further out-board from the intrusive body at the skarn / marble transition. Drilling continues to confirm the continuity of the mineralization which has now been tested to depths of over 500 metres below surface. All twenty-three of the planned holes are now complete and drill crews have been demobilized from the property. Analyses from twenty drill holes have been reported with further assays, including those from underground sampling of the historic Puro Corazon workings, anticipated over ...
