Aftermath Silver to Commence Exploration at San Andres Silver Project, Mexico

10.04.2014  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, April 10, 2014 - Aftermath Silver Ltd. (the "Company" or "Aftermath Silver") will commence exploration at the San Andres silver project in Durango, Mexico this month following approval of the program by the Board of Directors.

San Andres is fully permitted with an existing 300 tpd mill and camp facility on site. With the exception of investment in the mill and the granting of the permits to commence mining (2006-), the project has been largely untouched by modern exploration since historic mining operations ceased in 1915 at the time of the Mexican Revolution. According to historic Mexican Government records (which have not been independently verified and thus should not be relied on) 17 Moz of silver were produced from 1890-1915. The mine is not currently in operation remaining on care and maintenance.

On the project area, multiple structurally controlled epithermal high-grade silver-lead veins occur over a 2 km by 1.5 km area with numerous historic workings located on the property.

This first phase program is designed to test both the up- and down-dip extensions of the Esperanza vein that was the main source of high-grade historic production. Two underground rock samples taken for comparison purposes with previous sampling, for the Company's NI43-101 Technical Report (October 9th, 2013) on the property, yielded the following grades from Esperanza - 635 g/t Ag, 2.38% Pb, 0.126 g/t Au; and 4,040 g/t Ag, 8.95% Pb, 1.34 g/t Au. In addition, one sample taken from the upper De Enmedio vein returned 2,460 g/t Ag, 10.1% Pb and 0.96 g/t Au. All three samples returned higher values than had previously been reported by earlier sampling.

In addition, the planned 2014 program will seek to build detailed geologic maps, better understand the controls of mineralization on the project, and prioritize and define drill targets through extensive surface and underground sampling, prospecting and mapping by Company geologists. The program will also evaluate the presence of bulk tonnage targets stratigraphically below the high-grade veins identified on the property by Company geologists during due diligence of the property in 2013.

The results of this program should allow the Company to define a number of drill targets that can be tested later in the year.

The San Andres project is located in Durango State, Mexico and lies approximately 8 km to the east of Chesapeake Gold's Metates deposit (resources of 526 Moz Ag, 18.5 Moz Au and 4.2 B lbs of zinc) and 6.5 km south of the privately-owned and operated 1,200 tpd San Miguel del Cantil Au-Ag mine.

The 2014 field program is being performed under the supervision of Adrian Fleming MAusIMM(CP), RPGeo, Director of Aftermath Silver and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Fleming prepared and reviewed the technical information in this news release on behalf of Aftermath Silver.
