SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V)
Announces Remaining Phase I Drilling Results from Las Chispas Project; Further
Drilling Confirms Grade Continuity in Las Chispas Vein
Vancouver - September 14, 2016 (Investorideas.com
Newswire) SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: $SIL.V) is pleased to announce the results of the remaining drill holes from
Phase I drilling for the Las Chispas Project. The Las Chispas Project
("Las Chispas") is located in Sonora State, Mexico and is in a
historic silver-gold mining district which presently hosts two nearby precious
metal producers. Historic information indicates that of the fourteen
historically reported veins at Las Chispas, only three veins, the Las Chispas,
William Tell and Babicanora, had documented production, which occurred between
1880 and 1930.
SilverCrest’s initial focus is on these three
veins. To the Company’s knowledge, none of the known veins have been drilled
prior to the Company’s Phase I drill campaign. For more information, please
refer to our website at http://www.silvercrestmetals.com.
Dunham Craig, P.Geo., Interim CEO remarked,
"The remaining drill hole results from the Phase I drill program
intercepted the Las Chispas vein which has further demonstrated continuity of
high grades and potential mineable thicknesses. Phase II exploration work will
continue to define the Las Chispas vein for resource estimation expected in H1
2017. As we continue to systematically explore this district-wide discovery
with multiple undrilled epithermal veins, we could potentially have several
more discoveries. The Babicanora area (no previous drilling), immediately
adjacent to Las Chispas and William Tell veins, is considered the largest
target in the district and will be tested in Phase II exploration."
The most substantial core drilling results from the
remainder of the Phase 1 holes are 1.0 metres wide grading 1.55 grams per tonne
("gpt") gold ("Au") and 706.0 gpt silver ("Ag"),
or 822.2 gpt silver equivalent ("AgEq"* uncut, undiluted, see
attached Figure). The following table summarizes the most significant drill
assay results (uncut, undiluted) for the Las Chispas vein only;
Note: all
numbers are rounded.
*AgEq based on 75 (Ag):1 (Au) and 100% metallurgical recovery.
** All holes were drilled at perpendicular angles to mineralization with no adjustments required. Minimum sample width is 1.0 m.
*** Intercept is for a new consistent vein in the footwall of Las Chispas Vein as previous drilled and defined.
*AgEq based on 75 (Ag):1 (Au) and 100% metallurgical recovery.
** All holes were drilled at perpendicular angles to mineralization with no adjustments required. Minimum sample width is 1.0 m.
*** Intercept is for a new consistent vein in the footwall of Las Chispas Vein as previous drilled and defined.
All assays were completed by ALS Chemex in
Hermosillo, Mexico, and North Vancouver, BC.
All drill holes have intercepted quartz stockwork
veinlets, veining and/or breccia.
Deeper vein intercepts into the Las Chispas vein,
including holes LC16-12, 13, 14 and 15, intercepted quartz veining and
stockwork. Grades for those intercepts were below 150 gpt AgEq. Further work is
required to depth to better understand the precious metal zone below 300 metres
from surface. Drill-intercepted mineralization at Las Chispas vein currently
suggests a precious metal zone of at least 300 metres in depth.
The first NI43-101 technical report (non-resource)
is currently being completed and should be available in Q4 2016. Based on the
recent success of the Las Chispas Phase I program and subsequent announced
discoveries, the Company is targeting a first resource estimation to be
announced in H1 2017 along with a 100,000 tonne bulk sampling plan to form the
basis for a preliminary economic assessment.
Underground rehabilitation work continues as
scheduled with approximately 5 kilometres of the estimated existing 11.5
kilometres reopened.
The Company is completing final permitting for the
Phase II exploration program. Work is anticipated to commence in Q4 2016.
