# Southern Silver posts 2.8 metres of 665 g/t AgEq and 4.0 metres of 367 g/t AgEq from underground channel sampling at the Puro Corazon Mine, Mexico Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/southern-silver-posts-2-8-metres-of-665-g-t-ageq-and-4-0-metres-of-367-g-t-ageq--5e8263e6-6aa9-47b7-8c9a-589ca65950a0 Original source: https://resourceworld.com/southern-silver-posts-2-8-metres-of-665-g-t-ageq-and-4-0-metres-of-367-g-t-ageq-from-underground-channel-sampling-at-the-puro-corazon-mine-mexico/ Publisher: resourceworld Original announcement: 2026-08-31T10:41:01.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Southern Silver Exploration Corp. - Ticker: SSV - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Durango, Mexico - Primary commodity: Silver - Secondary commodities: Copper, Lead, Zinc - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-08-31 20:18:47 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Southern Silver reported high-grade polymetallic intercepts from underground channel sampling at the Puro Corazon Mine in Mexico, including a 1.2m intercept of 2042 g/t AgEq. The sampling targeted skarn mineralization and is intended to support an upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate update and PEA. Reasoning: High-grade silver-lead-zinc intercepts from underground channel sampling at a known mine, supporting upcoming resource upgrade programs. - Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept - Positive factor: Strongly anomalous polymetallic mineralization - Positive factor: Skarn alteration targeting - Negative factor: Sampling may not reflect true thickness due to artisanal mining access Facts used in scoring: 14 ## Classification and evidence **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 1,057 g/t Ag and 2042 g/t AgEq is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > 1.2 metres averaging 1,057 g/t Ag, 21.0% Pb and 21.6% Zn \(2042 g/t AgEq\) **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: Channel sampling results are reported without true width or orientation relative to structure. Evidence · text > current sampling may not reflect the true thickness ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 14.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
