Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (TSXV: OCG) has announced exciting results from initial core holes drilled at the Aguilar vein within the Santa Ana Project. The drilling at Aguilar has confirmed the continuity of high-grade silver mineralization, extending the known drilled mineralization by 5 kilometers south of the Mineral Resource area. One of the drill holes intercepted 0.78 meters of 776 grams per tonne of silver equivalent, showcasing the potential of the Aguilar vein.
Ian Harris, President, and CEO of Outcrop Silver, expressed his delight at the successful drilling at Aguilar, highlighting the company’s commitment to unlocking the full potential of the Santa Ana district. With improving silver prices and a global supply-demand deficit, the Aguilar results underscore the quality and uniqueness of the Santa Ana primary silver deposit.
Guillermo Hernandez, VP of Exploration, emphasized the significance of the drilling results, noting that high-grade silver mineralization stretches far beyond the known resources. The successful start to exploration at Aguilar showcases the untapped potential within the extensive vein system, affirming Outcrop Silver’s strategic approach to target generation.
The Aguilar vein, part of the Aguilar-Guadual zone, was identified through Outcrop Silver’s regional target generation program. The vein consists of multiple parallel segments with higher-grade mineralization occurring at structural intersections.
The ongoing drilling campaign at the Santa Ana Project aims to expand known mineralization and test new high-potential areas along the 30-kilometer vein corridor. These efforts demonstrate the scalability of the project and its potential for substantial resource growth, positioning it as a significant silver producer in the future.
