Outcrop doubles inferred silver at Santa Ana in Colombia
The advanced exploration project covers part of the Mariquita silver district, where mining dates to the 16th century.
Outcrop Silver & Gold (TSXV: OCG; US-OTC: OCGSF) has more than doubled the inferred and nearly increased a quarter of the indicated silver at its Santa Ana project in Colombia compared to its 2023 resource. The new resource now shows about 1.8 million indicated tonnes containing 376 grams of silver per tonne and 1.8 grams of gold, totaling 21.7 million ounces of silver and 104,000 ounces of gold.
Additionally, inferred resources have expanded to include 2.3 million tonnes grading 266 grams of silver and 1.29 grams of gold for 20.1 million ounces of silver and 98,000 ounces of gold. CEO Rob Bruggeman expressed excitement over the resource's high grades, continuity, and scale, with new vein systems such as Guadual and Aguilar adding substantial resources.
The updated resource now covers a broader area from Los Naranjos in the north to Los Mangos in the south. The company is conducting an ongoing 35,000-metre drill campaign to target extensions and new vein systems along the project's 17-kilometre mineralized corridor.
