[1StockInformer]

Today, Outcrop Silver & Gold Corp. (Ticker: OCG.v or OCGSF for U.S. investors) provided an update on its regional exploration program at its flagship Santa Ana project in Colombia, signaling significant strides in resource development

The project, known for its high-grade potential, features a fully permitted 17km mineralized vein corridor aimed at enhancing Outcrop Silver's resource base.

Key Highlights from Recent Exploration:

• Target Generation Progress:

  • The regional program continues to identify and develop drill-ready targets, aligning with Outcrop Silver's strategy to expand the project's mineral resources.

  • Three targets—Aguilar, Jimenez, and La Ye—have been confirmed through drilling to date, while others such as Los Mangos, La Rica, Frias, and Morena are ready for initial drilling.

• Los Mangos Vein: 

  • At the El 20 historic mine workings, mapping and channel sampling identified a mineralized quartz vein with consistent high-grade silver results. 

  • Assays returned up to 1,737 grams per tonne of silver over 1.60m within a 30m section. Drilling at this promising target is planned to commence soon.

• La Rica Success: 

  • Exploration at La Rica revealed substantial gold grades, with channel samples yielding up to 15.59 grams per tonne and chip samples from float boulders reaching 53.92 grams per tonne. 

  • This reinforces La Rica's potential for both gold and silver.

  • The La Rica vein system has been extended for nearly 600m, showing consistent float occurrences and parallel shallow-dipping veins hosted by granodioritic intrusion.

Strategic Context and Future Steps:

Outcrop Silver's exploration team has advanced its geological mapping, supporting comprehensive assessments and improving the precision of future drilling campaigns. 

The exploration approach incorporates geophysical data, regional geochemical surveys, and historical mining insights to refine target selection. The process includes soil geochemical surveys and trenching campaigns to confirm vein traces over a minimum length of 250 metres, enhancing the company’s exploration success rate.

With ongoing mapping and sampling across various targets like Los Mangos and La Rica, Outcrop Silver positions itself to elevate the Santa Ana project, aspiring to establish it as a globally significant high-grade silver project.
