[{"type":"text","content":"Viscount Mining Continues to Drill High Grade Silver at its Silver Cliff Property in ColoradoDrill Hole DDH P17002 assayed 90.35 g/t (2.91 oz/t) silver from surface to 34.5 m (113 ft) including an 18 m (59 ft) portion averaging 120.58 g/t (3.88 oz/t)Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 28, 2017) - Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) (\"Viscount\" or \"the Company\"), is pleased to announce the first assay results from the Phase 2 HQ core drilling program at their Silver Cliff property in the Hardscrabble Silver District of Custer County, Colorado (the \"Property\"). The 2017 program commenced in mid-October has as its primary objective the verification of historical drill results for current mineral resource estimation on one of the Silver Cliff deposits known as the Kate Silver Resource (the \"KSR\"). A second objective is to test the potential for deeper silver mineralization. This release is reporting values from DDH P17002, the first of ten holes. Vertical hole (-90°) P17002 penetrated to a depth of 197.1 m (646.7 ft) and assays of continuous 1.5 m (4.92 ft) sample intervals only to a depth 36 m (118.1 ft) have been received from ALS Canada Ltd. Of this portion of the hole, the first 34.5 m (113.2 ft) from surface averaged 90.35 parts per million (ppm, i.e. g/t or 2.91 oz/t), including an 18 m (59 ft) portion from 12 to 30 m (39.4 to 98.4 ft ) averaging 120.58 g/t (3.88 oz/t). Historical hole 79_5_CC drilled in 1979 and twinned by P17002 was reported to have only an 18.3 m (60 ft) interval averaging more than 31.1 g/t (1.0 oz/t), namely, from 15.2 m to 33.5 m (50 to 110 ft) with 105.43 g/t (3.39oz/t). Although results from more drill holes will be required to determine true thickness, historical geological records and Viscount's 2016 drilling profiles indicate that the mineralized rhyolite tuff beds are nearly horizontal with apparent variations from the horizontal due to vertical displacement by faults.Kaare Foy, Viscount Chairman stated: \"We are very encouraged with the results of our first hole of Phase 2 drilling at Silver Cliff. The results show the twinned hole multiple ounce mineralization to be almost double in length. This was also indicated in some of the 9 twinned holes drilled in 2016 where 5 out of 9 holes had noticeably thicker silver-rich sections.\"Dr. Howard Lahti, VP of...
