$SSVFF .. Southern Intersects Bonanza-Grade Silver at Cerro Las Minitas with 8.0 Metres Averaging 1,072g/t Ag, 18.8% Pb and 7.5% Zn (2,040g/t AgEq) including 0.6 Metres Grading 3,180g/t Ag, 58.8% Pb and 2.3% Zn (5,148g/t AgEq)
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 9, 2021) - Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV: SSV) (OTCQB: SSVFF) reported today that it has identified Bonanza-grade silver mineralization on a second target within the Mina La Bocona zone at the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango Mexico. Drilling on the East side of the Cerro tested the down-dip projection of the La Bocona Chimney which was historically mined by artisanal miners to approximately 210 metres depth. Bonanza grade assays from drill hole 20CLM-131 returned:
15.1m down-hole (8.0m est. TT) averaging 1,072g/t Ag, 18.8% Pb and 7.5% Zn (2040g/t AgEq; 51.7% ZnEq) which includes subintervals of
1.1m down hole (0.6m est. TT) grading 3,180g/t Ag, 58.8% Pb and 2.3% Zn and 1.6m down hole interval (0.8m est. TT) grading 2,340g/t Ag, 35.9% Pb and 1.6% Zn;
Additional mineralized intervals intersected further down-hole include:
16.1m down-hole (8.5m est. TT) averaging 121g/t Ag, 2.5% Pb and 2.5% Zn (311g/t AgEq; 7.9% ZnEq) which includes 3.0m down hole (1.6m est. TT) grading 413g/t Ag, 8.7% Pb and 9.3% Zn (1,103g/t AgEq; 28% Zn); and
1.0m down-hole (0.5m est. TT) averaging 59g/t Ag, 0.6g/t Au and 3.37% Cu (489g/t AgEq)
Drill hole 20CLM-131 is one of four holes which tested the extension of the La Bocona Chimney over an approximate area of 60m x 140m and between the 210-metre mining level and roughly 350 metres below surface. Mineralization is open to depth and partially open along strike.
Select intercepts from other holes which tested the Chimney include:
20.9m down-hole (9.0m est. TT) averaging 212g/t Ag, 0.64g/t Au, 3.7% Pb and 3.3% Zn (512g/t AgEq; 13.0% ZnEq) which includes 7.4m down-hole (3.2m est TT) grading 287g/t Ag, 1.64g/t Au, 4.6% Pb and 4.8% Zn (763g/t AgEq; 19.3% ZnEq) from Drill hole 20CLM-129; and
6.4m down-hole (4.3m est. TT) averaging 146g/t Ag, 0.19g/t Au, 2.9% Pb and 1.6% Zn (320g/t AgEq; 8.1% ZnEq) which includes 0.8m down-hole (0.5m est TT) grading 809g/t Ag, 0.4g/t Au, 17.1% Pb and 9.1% Zn (1,741g/t AgEq; 44.1% ZnEq) from drill hole 20CLM-128.
The mineralization identified in the La Bocona Chimney is the second, thick sulphide lens with Bonanza-grade silver identified in the Mina La Bocona target area and the third high-grade lens identified on the eastern side of the Cerro. It is located just 150 metres to the west-northwest of the Muralla Chimney and the previously reported drill holes 20CLM-125 (33.2m est TT averaging 435g/t AgEq; see NR-01-21) and 15CLM-078 (several zones including 5.6m est TT averaging 528g/t AgEq and 3.6m averaging 1077g/t AgEq; see NR-10-15). Significantly, none of the mineralization identified on the east side of the Cerro either historically or as part of this current exploration program has yet been incorporated into the current Mineral Resource Estimate for the project.
Drilling has now resumed on the property with one drill targeting lateral and down-dip step-outs of drill hole 20CLM-131 at the La Bocona Chimney and a second targeting step-outs of drill hole 20CLM-125 at the Muralla Chimney. Drilling will continue to test and extend these two sulphide zones, the near surface oxide mineralization adjacent to the Muralla chimney and the South Skarn target as well as testing additional targets further to the to the northwest of the Bocona Chimney and the recently acquired El Sol claim.
Rob Macdonald, Vice President Exploration stated: "The identification of a third near-surface sulphide lens, with Bonanza- grades of silver, on the east side of the Cerro is significant as it not only demonstrates the continued exploration potential of these targets but also the clear potential to identify the critical mass of mineralization necessary to support a mining scenario. Drilling has now identified compelling sulphide and oxide intercepts within an 800 metres strike-length that require additional drilling. A further 400 metres remains to be tested on the east side of the Cerro and further drilling is warranted on the newly acquired El Sol Claim which will all be part of the continued 2021 drill campaign."

South Skarn and Muralla Chimney Targets
Additional assay results have also been received from both the Muralla Chimney and the South Skarn Target, located 500 metres to the south of the Mina La Bocona target, highlights of which include:
9.2m down-hole (4.1 est. TT) averaging 205g/t Ag, 0.16g/t Au, 4.0% Pb and 0.9% Zn (377g/t AgEq; 9.5% ZnEq) which includes 1.3m down-hole (0.6m est TT) grading 575g/t Ag, 0.05g/t Au, 9.9% Pb and 2.2% Zn (972g/t AgEq; 24.7% ZnEq) from Drill hole 20CLM-134 in the Muralla Chimney;
6.6m down-hole (4.4m est. TT) averaging 95g/t Ag, 0.7% Pb and 1.2% Zn (174g/t AgEq; 4.4 % ZnEq) which includes 1.0m down-hole (0.7m est TT) grading 398g/t Ag, 0.16g/t Au, 2.7% Pb and 4.0% Zn (679g/t AgEq; 17.2% ZnEq) from drill hole 20CLM-126 in the South Skarn target; and
1.6m down-hole (1.0m est. TT) grading 327g/t AgEq, 5.6% Pb and 11.5% Zn (960g/t AgEq; 24.4% Zn) from drill hole 20CLM-130 in the South Skarn target.
Approximately 8,600 metres of drilling have now been completed as part of the 2020-21 exploration program. Drilling has resumed to start the 2021 exploration season.
The CLM Project remains one of the larger undeveloped silver-lead-zinc projects in the World and is wholly owned, unburdened by royalties, fully financed and fully permitted.

Southern Silver Confirms High-grade Mineralization in the South Skarn Target at Cerro Las Minitas with a 6.7 metre intercept averaging 625g/t Ag, 11.8% Pb and 7.5% Zn (1,454g/t AgEq; 30.0% ZnEq)
Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSX.V: SSV) (“Southern Silver”) reported today initial assay results from its 10,000 metre 2020-21 core drilling program on the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango State, Mexico which included intervals of strongly silver-enriched semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralization in drill hole 20CLM-119.
Assay highlights include:
a 9.0m down hole interval (6.7m est. True Thickness) averaging 625g/t Ag, 11.8% Pb and5% Zn (1,454g/t AgEq; 30.0% ZnEq) including a higher grade 2.3m interval (1.7m est. TT) averaging 1,338g/t Ag, 25.9% Pb and 17.6% Zn (3,201g/t AgEq; 66.1% ZnEq) from drill hole 20CLM-119; and
a 6.9m down hole interval (4.0m est. TT) averaging 109g/t Ag, 1.8% Pb and1% Zn (255g/t AgEq; 7.2% ZnEq) including a higher grade 1.2m interval (0.9m est. TT) averaging 412g/t Ag, 7.8% Pb and 9.2% Zn (1,174g/t AgEq; 24.3% ZnEq) from drill hole 20CLM-118.
The two drill holes are the first results in 2020 for the South Skarn target, which extends for over 500 metres of strike on the eastern side of the Cerro and has been tested to depths of over 450 metres. The South Skarn target is approximately 1 kilometre away from the known mineral deposits currently identified on the property. The holes are lateral and up-dip step-outs from previously reported mineralization in hole 13CLM-68 which returned 13.9 metres (8.4m est. TT) of 136g/t Ag, 2.4% Pb and 1.3% Zn (326g/t AgEq; 6.3% ZnEq; see NR-15-13) and establish the continuity of mineralization in the shallower parts of the South Skarn zone. Five holes totaling 2,191 metres have now been completed on the South Skarn target. Several additional holes are planned which will test the target to depths of up to 600 metres below surface.
Rob Macdonald, Vice President Exploration stated: “The mineralization identified in 20CLM-119 is comparable in both grade and thickness to several mineralized intercepts previously identified by Southern Silver at the South Skarn and Bocona targets in drilling between 2011 to 2015 and provides confidence in our targeting as we work to continue expanding the mineral resource base at the Cerro Las Minitas project.”
Approximately 3,700 metres of drilling has been completed of an anticipated 10,000 metres of core drilling for the 2020-21 exploration program. Drilling continues with one drill focused on the South Skarn target and a second drilling currently drilling the Mina La Bocona target. Two drill holes have been completed on the Las Victorias target.
Drilling on the east side of the Cerro will test an approximate 800 metre strike length of the Skarn Front and Mina La Bocona mineralized zones to depths of up to 650 metres as well as a high-grade hanging wall zone in the Mina La Bocona target area. The targeting is designed to increase the current mineral resource estimate by approximately 30%. The CLM Project remains one of the larger undeveloped silver-lead-zinc projects in the world and is both fully financed and fully permitted.
Analyzed by FA/AA for gold and ICP-AES by ALS Laboratories, North Vancouver, BC. Silver (>100ppm), copper, lead and zinc (>1%) overlimits assayed by ore grade ICP analysis, High silver overlimits (>1500g/t Ag) and gold overlimits (>10g/t Au) re-assayed with FA-Grav. High Pb (>20%) and Zn (>30%) overlimits assayed by titration. AgEq and ZnEq were calculated using average metal prices of: US$17/oz silver, US$1450/oz gold, US$2.8/lbs copper and US$0.95/lbs lead and US$1.20/lbs zinc. AgEq and ZnEq calculations did not account for relative metallurgical recoveries of the metals. Ore-grade composites calculated using a 80g/t AgEq cut-off and <20% internal dilution, except where noted; anomalous intercepts calculated using a 10g/t AgEq cut-off.

Southern Silver Closes Transaction to Acquire 100% Interest in the Cerro Las Minitas Silver Project; Closes Three Private Placements for Proceeds of $14.456 Million
Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSX.V: SSV) (the “Company” or “Southern Silver”) reported that it has closed the transaction with Electrum Global Holdings L.P. (“Electrum”) to acquire Electrum’s 60% indirect working interest (for a total 100% interest) in the Cerro Las Minitas project (the “CLM Project”) located in Durango, Mexico (the “Transaction”). As consideration for the acquisition, Southern Silver must pay Electrum an aggregate US$15 million in a combination of cash and common shares, of which US$5 million and 2,336,590 common shares (valued at US$1,006,403 which, together with a credit of C$1,350,000 deposit paid, represents the US$2,000,000 share equivalent payment) have now been paid. The remaining consideration must be paid on or before:
March 15, 2021: US$2 million and common shares equal to US$2 million (based on the greater of the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of Southern Silver’s shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“VWAP”) and the Discounted Market Price (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) of the shares (the “DMP”)); and
September 15, 2021: US$2 million and common shares equal to US$2 million (based on the greater of the prior 20-day VWAP and the DMP).
The Company has the option to pay all cash in lieu of shares. To secure above noted payments, the Company has pledged to Electrum the shares representing Electrum’s 60% indirect working interest in the CLM Project. Southern Silver has received both shareholder and TSX Venture Exchange approval of the Transaction.
Benefits to Southern Silver Shareholders:

About Southern Silver Exploration Corp.
Southern Silver Exploration Corp. is an exploration and development company with a focus on the discovery of world-class mineral deposits. Our specific emphasis is the 100% owned Cerro Las Minitas silver-lead-zinc project located in the heart of Mexico’s Faja de Plata, which hosts multiple world-class mineral deposits such as Penasquito, San Martin, Naica and Pitarrilla. We have assembled a team of highly experienced technical, operational and transactional professionals to support our exploration efforts in developing the Cerro Las Minitas project into a premier, high-grade, silver-lead-zinc mine. The Company engages in the acquisition, exploration and development either directly or through joint-venture relationships in mineral properties in major jurisdictions. Our property portfolio also includes the Oro porphyry copper-gold project located in southern New Mexico, USA.
The 2019 Cerro Las Minitas Resource Estimate was prepared following CIM definitions for classification of Mineral Resources. Resources are constrained using mainly geological constraints and approximate 10g/t AgEq grade shells. The block models are comprised of an array of blocks measuring 10m x 2m x 10m, with grades for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn values interpolated using ID3 weighting. Silver and zinc equivalent values were subsequently calculated from the interpolated block grades. The model is identified at a 175g/t AgEq cut-off, with an indicated resource of 11,102,000 tonnes averaging 105g/t Ag, 0.10g/t Au, 1.2% Pb, 3.7% Zn and 0.16% Cu and an inferred resource of 12,844,000 tonnes averaging 111g/t Ag, 0.07g/t Au, 0.9% Pb, 2.8% Zn and 0.27% Cu. AgEq cut-off values were calculated using average long-term prices of $16.6/oz. silver, $1,275/oz. gold, $2.75/lb. copper, $1.0/lb. lead and $1.25/lb. zinc. Metal recoveries for the Blind, El Sol and Las Victorias deposits of 91% silver, 25% gold, 92% lead, 82% zinc and 80% copper and for the Skarn Front deposit of 85% silver, 18% gold, 89% lead, 92% zinc and 84% copper were used to define the cut-off grades. Base case cut-off grade assumed $75/tonne operating, smelting and sustaining costs. All prices are stated in $USD. Silver Equivalents were calculated from the interpolated block values using relative recoveries and prices between the component metals and silver to determine a final AgEq value. The same methodology was used to calculate the ZnEq value. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves until they have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for a resource’s mineability, selectivity, mining loss, or dilution. The current Resource Estimate was prepared by Garth Kirkham, P.Geo. of Kirkham Geosciences Ltd. who is the Independent Qualified Person responsible for presentation and review of the Mineral Resource Estimate. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate and therefore numbers may not appear to add precisely.
Robert Macdonald, MSc. P.Geo, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and supervised directly the collection of the data from the CLM Project that is reported in this disclosure and is responsible for the presentation of the technical information in this disclosure.

Southern Silver Announces Acquisition of El Sol Claim; Corporate Update
Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSX.V: SSV) (the “Company” or “Southern Silver”) has entered into an agreement with Monarca Minerals Inc. to purchase the El Sol mineral claim in Durango, Mexico.
The claim is situated contiguous with Southern Silver’s Cerro Las Minitas mineral property, operated as a joint venture between Southern Silver and Electrum Global Holdings LP.
The purchase is solely for the account of Southern Silver and the claim will not form a part of the Cerro Las Minitas joint venture. Acquisition cost is $US 300,000 payable in three equal instalments on execution of a definitive agreement, twelve months and eighteen months together with retention by the vendor of a 2% NSR on production from the claim with a right in Southern Silver to purchase the royalty at any time for US$1,000,000.
El Sol Claim
The El Sol concession is a single 63ha claim strategically located on the northwestern boundary of the Bocona block of claims and is adjacent to the Area of the Cerro which hosts the four mineral deposits currently identified within the Cerro Las Minitas claim package. It covers an important northwest projection of the Blind-El Sol deposits and potentially at least one additional mineralized structure.
The claim is largely gravel covered with previous work including: airborne magnetic geophysics; surface soil and acacia sampling; limited dump sampling of historic artisanal workings and a single core hole in the southeastern end of the property.
A drill hole, from 2013, intersected thick intervals of aplite and monzonite with associated grossular skarn and re-crystallized limestone which corresponds well to the projection of the Blind Zone deposit and returned anomalous Ag-Pb-Zn values with associated pathfinder elements. Additional exploration potential exists, both down dip of the initial drill intercepts and on-strike to the northwest where the projected structure crosses two large magnetic anomalies located on the claim.
Select dump sampling of artisanal workings located to the northeast of the Blind Zone structure returned anomalous values from several strongly oxidized and silicified rocks including sample CLM-316 which returned 0.67g/t Au, 559g/t Ag, 3.3% Pb and 4.3% Zn. These workings do not appear to be related to the Blind Zone mineralization and represent a second potential high-grade target for priority follow-up.
Future exploration on the claim by Southern Silver will focus on: defining new drill targets along the projection of the Blind Zone deposit; further sampling in the area of the two large magnetic anomalies located on the claim and target definition in the area of the artisanal workings.
