(\"Zacatecas Silver\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: ZAC) is pleased to announce it has completed first pass geological and structural mapping of the El Cristo Vein System. El Cristo is the northwestern strike extension of the\n \n Veta Grande\n \n vein. Since its discovery, the\n \n Veta Grande\n \n vein has reported historical production of over 200 Moz silver in the region.\n \n \n \n Highlights:\n \n \n \n \n \n Multiple oxidized, silver-base metal mineralized veins defined over a strike length of at least 4 km significantly extending the previous reported strike length of 2.5 to 3.0 km.\n \n \n \n \n At least eight veins defined to date which are associated with a sigmoidal zone of extension that is at least\n \n 800 m\n \n wide.\n \n \n \n \n Only 8 angled diamond holes drilled by a previous operator — of which 6 were focused within a\n \n 400 m\n \n length.\n \n \n \n \n Significantly more historical shafts and surficial workings located than shown on existing maps — with many clustering along veins which have never been drill tested.\n \n \n \n \n Geological team has commenced an extensive soil sampling program to assist with location of veins beneath cover of thin soils.\n \n \n \n \n The El Cristo vein system is in the central part of the Zacatecas Property. It is the northwest extension of the well-known\n \n Veta Grande\n \n vein and is defined by multiple vein outcrops, and extensive historical workings and shafts.  Significantly, the silver-base metal veins at El Cristo are associated with an extensive sigmoidal zone of dilation.\n \n \n Dr Wilson, Chief Operating Officer and a Director of\n \n Zacatecas\n \n comments, \"\n \n The presence of silver-base metal veins within a structural...
