Southern Silver Announces Equity Financing and
Warrant Exercise
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 24, 2019) -
Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV: SSV)
("Southern Silver")
plans to issue up to 10,000,000 units ("Units" or "Offering") in a non- brokered private placement at a price
of $0.20 per Unit to raise $2,000,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one share purchase warrant, with each
warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.
Southern Silver has been advised by Electrum Global Holdings L.P. ("Electrum") that Electrum intends to invest up to $100,000
in this Offering as well as exercise existing share purchase warrants (up to a maximum exercise of 6,875,000 warrants for
proceeds of up to $550,000) to maintain its current percentage holdings of approximately 36% in the Company.
Separately, the Company has also received a total of $284,800 from recent shareholder exercises of a total of 3,560,000 share
purchase warrants.
Net proceeds from the private placement will be used for working capital and to cover our proportionate share (40%) of the costs
associated with the continued 2019-20 exploration programs on the Cerro Las Minitas property, Durango Mexico along with our
J/V partner, Electrum Global Holdings L.P. (60%).
Work on the project continues with a focus on metallurgical and engineering test work in preparation for further drill testing
toward further resource expansion. A total of 133 drill holes for 59,000 metres have been completed on the Cerro Las Minitas
project to date, with acquisition and exploration expenditures of USD$18.5 million spent, resulting in a current Mineral Resource
Estimate of 134Mozs AgEq Indicated and 138Mozs AgEq Inferred.
Finders' fees and commissions may be paid by Southern Silver in relation to this Offering (not including the units sold to
Electrum). Southern Silver will make provision for an over-allotment option (Greenshoe) to allow a purchase of up to 10%
additional units beyond the number of units in this Offering.
