Silver Storm Mining (TSX-V:SVRS) has reported ‘high-grade’ drill results from its La Parrilla Silver Mine Complex in Durango State, Mexico.
Drilling returned 661 grams per tonne silver equivalent (AgEq) over 3.7m from hole IDP-SM-26-003A at the San Marcos zone.
The intercept included 1,231g/t AgEq over 1.6m. Additional intersections include 328g/t AgEq over 15.35m and 617g/t AgEq over 3.9m. Drilling targeted oxide mineralisation within the past-producing San Marcos underground mine.
Results demonstrate potential to extend indicated resources by 100m toward surface over a 425m strike length, while inferred resources could extend 65m toward surface.
“We are impressed with the infill and exploration drill results at San Marcos that demonstrate the potential to grow the La Parrilla oxide Mineral Resource,” CEO Greg McKenzie says.
“We plan to follow up on these high-grade near-surface results with further drilling from our recently approved surface drill pads.”
San Marcos comprises quartz-carbonate vein mineralisation striking north-northwest and dipping 60 degrees northeast. Furthermore, the zone extends 650m along strike with thickness up to 17m and vertical mineralisation extending 450m.
Other notable intersections include 366g/t AgEq over 5.05m and 221g/t AgEq over 8.05m. The company operates two underground drill rigs and one surface drill rig, completing 93 holes totalling approximately 9,395m to date.
