Southern Silver Reports Additional High-Grade Drill Results from CLM Project, Durango, Mexico
💬 Mining & Metals Watch: High-grade silver-polymetallic intercepts keep coming! Are you tracking SSV’s Cerro Las Minitas expansion?
Vancouver, BC – (Newsfile Corp. – March 19, 2026) – $Southern Silver Exploration Corp.(SSVFF)$(the “Company” or “Southern Silver”) is pleased to report further assay results from drilling at the Cerro Las Minitas (“CLM”) Project in Durango, Mexico. These results continue to expand the mineralized footprint within the Puro Corazon claim area and consistently identify broad, high-grade silver-rich polymetallic zones.
The latest release includes results from five new holes completed in the 2025–2026 drill program, plus an extension of a hole initially drilled in 2012. The most notable assays originate from a hanging-wall zone associated with mineralization of the Blind Zone deposit, located outside the Puro Corazon claim area, which returned:
-
Hole 26CLM-217: 6.3 meters (estimated true thickness) averaging 395 g/t Ag, 0.8% Cu, 6.8% Pb, 10.8% Zn (874 g/t AgEq), including a 1.5-meter interval grading 886 g/t Ag, 0.8% Cu, 16.3% Pb, 30.2% Zn (2,062 g/t AgEq).
Additional highlights from drilling testing the Puro Corazon skarn include:
-
Hole 26CLM-42A: 12.0 meters averaging 138 g/t Ag, 0.1 g/t Au, 2.0% Pb, 1.6% Zn (225 g/t AgEq), including a 3.3-meter interval grading 173 g/t Ag, 0.1 g/t Au, 4.8% Pb, 5.2% Zn (414 g/t AgEq).
-
Hole 26CLM-220: 3.5 meters averaging 111 g/t Ag, 0.6% Cu, 4.7% Pb, 8.8% Zn (484 g/t AgEq), including a 1.2-meter interval grading 142 g/t Ag, 0.9% Cu, 7.2% Pb, 18.0% Zn (827 g/t AgEq).
Mineralization in these holes occurs within skarn alteration haloes immediately adjacent to the central intrusive body, or as carbonate replacement zones in the outer skarn/marble transition zone. Drilling continues to confirm continuity of mineralization, which has now been demonstrated to depths exceeding 500 meters below surface.
All 23 planned holes have now been completed, and the drill rig has been demobilized from the property. Assay results for 20 holes have been released to date. Further results, including analyses from sampling of the historic Puro Corazon underground workings, are expected to be announced over the coming weeks.
