[{"type":"text","content":"Viscount Mining Continues to Step Out New Areas of Mineralization Drilling 88.8 g/t Silver over 16.2 Meters Including 162.1 g/t Silver over 8.5 Meters at Silver Cliff ColoradoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 12, 2022) - Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV: VML) (OTCQX: VLMGF) (\"Viscount\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce step out drill results which further increases our understanding of the Kate Silver Resource (KSR) and expands the size of the KSR in multiple directions at Silver Cliff Colorado.The focus of Viscount Mining's third phase of drilling was to test the outer boundaries of the Kate Silver Resource (KSR) as defined in Dr. Gilles Arseneau's NI43-101 in 2018. Five of these nine drill holes lie to the northeast of the previous KSR and should significantly expand the silver resource in this direction. Specifically, drill hole 21-16, which lies approximately 120 meters outside of the previous mineralized body definition, revealed 88.8 g/t silver over 16.2 meters including 8.5 meters testing at 162.1 G/T silver. In all, these five step out drill holes in the northeast Kate cover a surface area of over 12,500 square meters and successfully expand the footprint of mineralization outside of the KSR. All holes contain sections testing above the current cut-off grade (~20 G/T). In addition to northeast expansion, the drilling also revealed slight expansion to the south. Drill holes 21-11 and 21-12 both contain sections testing over 124 G/T and are positioned up to 25 meters outside of the KSR boundary. The report titled Mineral Resource Estimate for the Silver Cliff Property, Custer County, Colorado, USA dated April 15, 2018 was prepared by Dr. Gilles Arseneau, Ph.D., P. Geo of Arseneau Consulting Services (\"ACS\") in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (\"CIM\") Definition Standards incorporated by reference in National Instrument 43-101 (\"NI 43-101\") for its Silver Cliff property in Colorado.Using historic drilling data and recent soil sample results, drill hole locations were selected outside of the KSR boundary, primarily to the northeast and south. Viscount is pleased to announce that the third phase step out drill holes exhibited results above cut-off grades. As shown in the map below, this now accounts for nine drill holes drilled outside of the KSR. To v...
