Southern Announces Initial Resource Estimate at Cerro Las Minitas – Indicated: 10.8Mozs Ag, 189Mlbs Pb and 207Mlbs Zn (36.5Mozs AgEq); and Inferred: 17.5Mozs Ag, 237Mlbs Pb and 626Mlbs Zn (77.3Mozs AgEq)
President, Lawrence Page Q.C. stated Since May 2011, Cerro Las Minitas has developed from a prospect into a resource with great potential to become a significant economic deposit. Continued growth is expected along the 25 kilometres length of the 13,700 hectare property. We have succeeded, during one of the most severe bear markets in recent history, in purchasing the property for a cost of $US 3.6 million, conducted extensive geophysical evaluation and 32,719 metres of diamond drilling, at a cost of $7.5 million resulting in the resource announced today. Significantly, the property is not burdened with royalties thus enhancing the economics of mining and processing.
