Drill Program and Incentive Stock Option
Grant
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 25, 2024) -
Southern Silver Exploration
Corp.
(TSXV: SSV) ("Southern Silver" or the "Company") reports that its Board of Directors has
approved a program of up to 6000 metres of diamond drilling on the silver, lead, zinc Cerro Las Minitas
project, Durango, Mexico. The focus of the drill program would include an initial phase of "Proof of
Concept" drilling to demonstrate further lateral projections of shallow high-grade mineralization adjacent
to planned mine and mill infrastructure in the area of the Eastern Deposits (South Skarn, Mina La
Bocona and North Felsite), which also would provide additional tonnage for extraction early in any
planned mining schedule. Further drilling beyond the 6000m current program would test down-dip of the
known eastern deposits which could further enhance the continued resource potential of the project. The
program is anticipated to commence in the coming weeks.
As currently modelled, the Cerro Las Minitas project features a large-scale underground mining
operation with a 17 year mine life, robust project economics and high gross revenues in a well-located
and mining-friendly jurisdiction in southeast Durango, Mexico.
For more information on the details of the
current economic assessment of the Cerro Las Minitas project, please refer to Southern Silver's news
release dated June 10, 2024.
Incentive stock options have been granted to various directors, officers and consultants to purchase
6,500,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.31 per share, exercisable for a
period of five years. The stock options are subject to the terms and conditions of Southern Silver's stock
option plan and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
