Outcrop Silver Intercepts 1.3m of 888 g/t Silver Eq Last week, Outcrop Silver & Gold Corporation (Ticker: OCG.v or OCGSF for US investors) announced more promising drilling results from the 2024 exploration campaign at its 100% owned Santa Ana project in Colombia.
The campaign focused on the Aguilar vein system, where the company intercepted 1.3 meters at 888 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent. Other significant results included a 0.30-meter intercept yielding 3,043 g/t silver on the Jimenez vein.
These drill results confirm the continuity of mineralization along a 1.5-kilometer strike at Aguilar, with high-grade shoots identified in three key areas.
Exploration efforts are ongoing with two rigs targeting deeper sections of the vein system, and additional drilling planned for the Los Mangos and La Ye targets.
Outcrop Silver’s drilling success reaffirms the company’s strategic approach to unlocking high-grade silver at depth. Vice President of Exploration Guillermo Hernandez highlighted the importance of these results in advancing resource growth, positioning the Santa Ana project as a high-grade silver producer with significant potential for expansion.
Santa Ana, within Colombia's largest primary silver district, boasts a maiden resource estimate of 24.2 million ounces of indicated silver equivalent at 614 g/t and 13.5 million ounces inferred at 435 g/t. With a focus on responsible mining and community engagement, Outcrop Silver is well-positioned to capitalize on the scalability of this project.
The ongoing exploration is crucial for expanding known resources and testing new high-potential areas along Santa Ana’s extensive 30-kilometer mineralized trend.
