[{"type":"text","content":"Viscount Mining Drills 99.6 g/t Silver over 21.6 Meters at Silver Cliff ColoradoVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 13, 2021) - Viscount Mining Corp. (TSXV: VML) (OTCQB: VLMGF) (\"Viscount Mining\") is pleased to announce the results from our first of 10 holes of the 2020 drill campaign at our Silver Cliff project in Colorado. Hole DDH-20-01 had the purpose of seeing if ore grade mineralization (above 35 g/t silver according to Viscounts 2018 NI 43-101) was continuous from hole K16-05 (390.9 g/t silver over 13.7 meters) in the south, to hole K16-01 (837.4 g/t silver over 15.2 meters), about 81 meters to the north-east. The new hole, DDH-20-01 assayed 99.6 g/t silver over 21.6 meters from 19.5 meters to 41.1 meters. Strong showings were encountered of 137.9 g/t silver from 19.5 meters to 25.3 meters and 202.7g/t silver, from 35.3 meters to 41.4 meters. This seems to indicate that there may be continuity of the \"Kate East Zone\". An additional three holes were drilled in this zone, and we are awaiting those results.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/2736/71882_e0b362cc849189cb_002full.jpgThe 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 this year. 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 Kate East high-grade zone as well as moving forward on the evaluation of the resource potential of several other promising targets.Quality Assurance/Quality Control (\"QA/QC\") Measures, Chain of Custody: All the drilling to date has been core. The company has implemented a rigorous quality assurance/quality control program at the Silver Cliff project. Core is retrieved from then drill site to a locked storage facility, where it is logged and then cut by independent geologists. Half of the core is bagged, and standards, blanks and duplicates are frequently ins...
