Southern Silver’s 2012 drill program extends mineralized zone at Mexico’s Cerro Las Minitas project

Canadian Southern Silver Exploration Corp.(TSXV:SSV) announced that drilling at its Mexico’a Cerro Las Minitas project continues to extend mineralized structures at its Blind Zone and El Sol deposits.

The company aims to complete a NI 43-101 compliant resource on its first set of targets by the end of the year.

Southern Silver, President, Lawrence Page, said:

The Blind zone mineralization was identified through IP geophysics and subsequent drilling and has validated this method of identifying mineralization below gravel cover. While present drilling is identifying mineralization in the area of the Cerro Las Minitas intrusion, large portions of the 15,000 hectare mineral claims, which are overlain with gravel cover, contain geophysical anomalies similar to the anomalies at Cerro Las Minitas and will be tested in subsequent drill programs after the nature and extent of the mineralization presently being developed at Cerro Las Minitas is fully ascertained.

Southern Silver Exploration ‘s growth strategy is to acquire, explore and develop high-quality properties in progressive jurisdictions within North America. Other than silver-lead-zinc Las Minitas, the company’s current projects include the copper-gold-silver Minas de Ameca in Mexico, the porphyry copper-molybdenum Dragoon project in Arizona and the gold-silver-copper Oro project in New Mexico.
