[{"type":"text","content":"Viscount Mining Completes Phase 1 Drilling at Silver Cliff ColoradoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2020) -  Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) (\"Viscount Mining\") is pleased to announce it has completed the first phase on November 9th of a three phase drill program at its Silver Cliff property in Colorado.A total of ten NQ core holes were drilled for a combined length of 2,379 feet (729.8 meters).Four holes were drilled to further define the Kate East high grade zone. Hole DDH-20-01 drilled in this zone showed some spectacular acanthite mineralization. Acanthite is a common silver mineral in moderately low-temperature hydrothermal veins and in zones of supergene enrichment. Acanthite, a silver sulfide mineral (Ag2S) is the most important mineral of silver in the Kate mineral deposit.Five of the holes were drilled to expand the resource defined in Viscount's NI 43-101 report by Dr. Gilles Arseneau of ACS in 2018.Hole DDH-20-05 was drilled in the Passiflora target area. Moderate sulfidation and silcification was encountered at 40 feet (12.1 meters) and continued to 564 feet (179.9 meters). Here, a zone was encountered of marked increase in sulfidation and silicification. This was the target zone based on early historic drilling done in the 1980s. It persisted to about 610 feet (184.5 meters), which was longer than expected. Moderate pyrite was observed to the end of the bore. The core from the 10 holes has been submitted to the lab for assays and will be news released when received.The next phase of the exploration program is planned to commence in early 2021. Plans include conducting additional drilling, geophysics, field mapping and sampling in areas that have not received the full attention they deserved during the historic exploration. Viscount's 2020/2021 drill campaign has three objectives. They are to expand the previously defined Kate resource (the \"KSR\") with the objective of adding to the ACS resource estimate of the KSR/Kate deposit. Also, to further outline the South Kate high grade zone as well as moving forward on the evaluation of the resource potential of several other promising targets.
