Silver Viper Mobilizes Drill to La Virginia Gold-Silver Project, Sonora, Mexico
Vancouver, BC. Silver Viper Minerals Corp. (the “Company” or “Silver Viper”) (TSXV: VIPR) is pleased to
announce mobilization of a camp building crew to La Virginia Gold-Silver Project, 220 kilometres (“km”)
east-northeast of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. Camp and drill pad construction is currently underway and
Silver Viper expects to commence drilling on a 5,000m initial campaign shortly. The Phase One program
will include confirmation holes in and around the historic La Virginia and Con Virginia workings and will
also continue to advance exploration on known mineralized trends. The first phase work will be conducted
within the Rubi-Esperanza group of claims currently under option by Silver Viper (see June 25th 2018 news
release).
Silver Viper has received all permits and completed land-owner agreements necessary to commence
work. Due to the location of the drill ing area, drilling as well as core logging and sampling will be
conducted from the field camp currently under construction . Silver Viper’s r egional exploration effort
continues to prospect and refine additional targets slated for drill testing in the coming months.
Characterized by laterally extensive epithermal style gold-silver mineralization in quartz stockworks, veins
and hydrothermal breccias, strong mineralization has historically been identified within shoots developed
along the main trend. The initial 5000m Phase I drilling will include holes on the main trend and two
parallel trends. Historical mining activities evidenced by several underground workings are developed on
zones of increased silica alteration and veining. The two largest historical workings, “La Virginia” and “Con
Virginia” are still open and accessible and host mineralization ranging between one metre to greater than
twenty metres in thickness.
Silver Viper’s President and CEO Steve Cope states, “We are very excited to begin our first phase drilling
program on the La Virginia Project. This asset has produced some fantastic results in the past and we look
forward to continuing on that success. There is the potential here to both grow the existing mineralized
zones, as well as the potential for new discoveries.”
