After dreary drilling results last year, Canadian junior miner Endeavour Silver (TSX: EXK), announced exploration drilling at the San Sebastian property in Mexico has discovered a new high grade silver-gold mineralized zone in the Terronera vein.
The results show broad, sometimes bonanza-grade intercepts with two of the best drillholes cutting 8 metres @ 1,489 g/t silver and 0.85 g/t gold and 17 metres @ 500 g/t Ag and 1.15 g/t Au.
The plan at San Sebastian, said the company in a release, is to continue drilling both laterally and vertically on the vein with one drill rig.

Expect more drilling results sometime mid-July, Hugh Clarke, Endeavour’s vice-president of corporate communication said.
