en.Wedoany.com Reported - Southern Silver Exploration Corp. has released the latest assay results from underground channel sampling at the Puro Corazón ore body within its flagship Cerro Las Minitas project in Durango, identifying multiple strongly anomalous, high-grade polymetallic mineralized intercepts. The sampling program yielded outstanding results in the mine's intermediate levels, with estimated true thickness intervals including: 8 meters averaging 305 g/t Ag, 1.2% Cu, 9.8% Pb, and 6.7% Zn, for a silver equivalent (AgEq) of 757 g/t; 2 meters averaging 479 g/t AgEq (including 357 g/t Ag, 0.5% Cu, 3.2% Pb, and 0.7% Zn); and a 0-meter intercept grading up to 1,097 g/t AgEq.

These efforts are part of a comprehensive underground mapping, sampling, and geotechnical analysis campaign. The company aims to determine the continuity between near-surface underground workings and the mineralization identified in recent deep drilling at Puro Corazón. A total of 1,380 individual samples were collected from 230 channels, spaced every 3 meters along the skarn alteration zone adjacent to the central intrusive body. The mine has been operating on a small scale since the 1980s, with existing infrastructure extending 220 meters underground through 14 levels and the Guadalupe ramp.

The released data corresponds to the mine's Level 4. Southern Silver stated that assay results from the lower levels will be published in the near future. Meanwhile, the company is conducting hydrogeological and geotechnical characterization studies to consolidate the project's potential.
