en.Wedoany.com Reported - Southern Silver Exploration Corp. announced that it has begun deploying and mobilizing technical equipment at its flagship silver-lead-zinc project, Cerro Las Minitas (CLM), located in southeastern Durango, Mexico, to initiate a new drilling campaign.

This drilling program is a continuation of work at the mining area between 2025 and 2026. Previously, the company delineated a mineralized zone at the Puro Corazón target, identifying multiple high-grade polymetallic intersections that extend 400 meters laterally and up to 450 meters below the surface. The current work plan includes implementing up to 12,500 meters of infill drilling, aimed at increasing confidence in the near-surface, high-grade resources at Puro Corazón and integrating historical mining claims spatially and geologically into the overall CLM mining area.

Management revealed that the final metallurgical analysis for the 2025-2026 phase has been completed, providing a clear roadmap for the second half of the year. Among the targets for the third and fourth quarters of 2026, the company prioritizes a comprehensive update of the mineral resource estimate for Cerro Las Minitas, followed by an updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) in accordance with international standard NI 43-101.

While advancing drilling, Southern Silver is progressing its technical risk reduction process by collecting ecological baseline data and conducting hydrological, geotechnical, archaeological, and land tenure studies. Based on current models, Cerro Las Minitas has the potential to become a large-scale, high-financial-viability underground mining project, positioning it as a tier-one asset within Mexico's silver belt.
