Santacruz Silver Drilling Intersects 1,687 g/t Ag over 4.58 m, including 7,520 g/t Ag over 0.61m at the Gavilanes Project in Mexico
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. is pleased to report the first six holes totaling approximately 1,000 meters of the 16,000 meter Phase II drilling campaign on the 100% owned Gavilanes Silver project in Durango, Mexico. The 7,347 hectare Gavilanes property hosts a low sulphidation epithermal system, where seven high grade silver veins and a stockwork area have been identified to date. The Phase II drill program is designed to test the continuation of three of the seven known silver-bearing veins, each of the veins average 1-kilometer in length, and a stockwork area identified in previous drilling. The drill results reported herein are from the GSA vein, GSA Lower vein and Stockwork area of El Hundido. To date, the GSA vein has been drill tested over a strike length of 500 meters showing clear upside potential for an additional 500 meters of identified strike length which is visible at surface. The stockwork area of El Hundido has been successfully drilled over 250 meters on its identified 500 meters of known strike length to date.
