(TSXV: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) (\"Viscount Mining\") is pleased to announce it has received the first hole of ten drilled in our second phase of a three-phase drill program at its Silver Cliff property in Colorado.Viscount began their spring drilling program on March 30th by spudding hole DDH21-01 to the north of the Kate East Zone. It is located about 20 meters north of holes DDH-20-02 and DDH20-03, and was sited to see if the zone extends to the north. It assayed 147.6 g/t over 18.6 meters from 11 meters depth, including 236 g/t silver over 10 meters. As with the other holes in the Kate East Zone, it showed strong correlation with copper, lead and zinc. This relationship is consistent with the other holes in the Kate East Zone.Kate East ZoneTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/2736/86102_b89d832614f38a61_002full.jpgThe holes drilled in the Kate East Zone trend to the North-East.

We are also investigating the Kate East Zone, as well as continued evaluation of several other promising targets.Jim MacKenzie, President and CEO: \"We are very proud of the progress Viscount is making at the Kate Silver Deposit. The drill results from the Kate East Zone has demonstrated the deposit to be open ended in all directions.
