About Southern Silver Exploration Corp.
Southern Silver Exploration Corp. is a precious metal exploration and development company with a focus on the discovery of
world-class mineral deposits in north-central Mexico and the southern USA. Our specific emphasis is the Cerro Las Minitas
silver-lead-zinc project located in the heart of Mexico's Faja de Plata, which hosts multiple world-class mineral deposits such as
Penasquito, San Martin, Naica and Pitarrilla. We have assembled a team of highly experienced technical, operational and
transactional professionals to support our exploration efforts in developing, along with our partner, Electrum Global Holdings LP,
the Cerro Las Minitas project into a premier, high-grade, silver-lead-zinc mine. The Company engages in the acquisition,
exploration and development either directly or through joint-venture relationships in mineral properties in major jurisdictions. Our
property portfolio also includes the Oro porphyry copper-gold project located in southern New Mexico, USA.
The March 21, 2016 Cerro Las Minitas Resource Estimate was prepared following CIM definitions for classification of
Mineral Resources. Resources are constrained using mainly geological constraints and approximate 10g/t AgEq grade
shells. The block models are comprised of an array of blocks measuring 10m x 2m x 10m, with grades for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb,
Zn and AgEq values interpolated using ID2 weighting. The models identified at a 150g/t AgEq cut-off, an indicated
resource of 3,724,000 tonnes averaging 90g/t Ag, 0.05g/t Au, 2.3% Pb, 2.5% Zn and 0.09% Cu and a cumulative inferred
resource of 6,611,000 tonnes averaging 82g/t Ag, 0.17g/t Au, 1.6% Pb, 4.3% Zn and 0.2% Cu. Mineral Resource cut-offs
are estimated using an average long-term price of $15/oz silver, $1,100/oz gold, $2.75/lb Cu, $0.90/lb lead and $0.90/lb
zinc and metal recoveries of 82% silver, 86% lead and 80% zinc. AgEq calculations did not account for relative
metallurgical recoveries of the metals. All prices are stated in $USD. Mineral Resources are conceptual in nature and as
such do not have demonstrated economic viability. The current Resource Estimate was prepared by Garth Kirkham,
P.Geo. of Kirkham Geosciences Ltd. who is the Independent Qualified Person responsible for presentation and review of
the Mineral Resource Estimate.
Robert Macdonald, MSc., P.Geo, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and responsible for the
supervision of the exploration on the Cerro Las Minitas Project and for the preparation of the technical information in this
disclosure.
