"We are extremely pleased with the initial 2020 drill results from Virginia," Silver Sands' CEO, Keith Anderson, commented. "These results confirm our strong faith in the project, showing both strike potential for additional silver mineralization in known veins and indications of new mineralization in minimally to untested peripheral veins. We are excited to get the next phase of the fully funded 2021 exploration program underway to further expand the known mineralization and locate new mineralization," he concluded. Mirasol's Chair and Interim CEO, Patrick Evans, commented, "Virginia is one of Mirasol's flagship projects currently under partnership and located in a prolific silver mining district. The latest drill results confirm the strong potential to build on Virginia's current resource base within the 74,000 ha mining concession, which remains unexplored. With Silver Sands, we intend to methodically explore the entire project to grow its scale." |
