Highlights
- Outcrop Silver and Gold reports a high-grade mineralized shoot at the Guadual vein within the Santa Ana project
- Latest intercepts confirm continuous silver and gold mineralization in the central district of the property
- Santa Ana drilling program remains active along an extensive mineralized corridor
Outcrop Silver and Gold (TSXV:OCG), a TSX Mining Stock focused on mineral exploration and development in Colombia, has announced a significant high-grade discovery at the Guadual vein, situated in the central zone of its Santa Ana project. This latest find represents the fifth new discovery within the same calendar year, emphasizing the company’s ongoing exploration success and the potential of the Santa Ana property.
Guadual Vein Confirms Consistent Mineralization
According to the company’s latest update, drilling at the Guadual vein has revealed a high-grade mineralized shoot, with strong assay results observed across several intercepts. The latest core samples include a narrow but high-content silver and gold zone, demonstrating the geological continuity of the mineralized system. The Guadual structure currently extends laterally across a considerable strike length and reaches significant vertical depth, establishing it as a high-priority zone within the broader exploration plan.
Drilling Program Advances with Resource Expansion Focus
The active drilling program at Santa Ana is focused on extending known mineralized veins and identifying new high-grade zones. The Guadual vein system, now confirmed to be both laterally and vertically extensive, has become a primary area of interest as part of a large-scale campaign spanning a substantial mineralized trend. The overall goal is to further define zones for inclusion in future updates to the mineral resource model.
Earlier drill results released for the Los Mangos vein revealed wide intercepts of elevated silver equivalent grades, emphasizing the district’s capacity to host multiple productive vein systems.
Project Overview and District Context
Santa Ana spans a significant land area in the Mariquita district, historically recognized as the country’s highest-grade primary silver-producing region. The district is geologically favorable, offering extensive vein-hosted mineralization, and was the basis for the maiden resource estimation announced the previous year. That resource outlined substantial indicated and inferred silver-equivalent volumes based on six vein systems.
Outcrop Silver and Gold’s exploration team continues to implement a systematic approach across this historically prolific district. The focus remains on refining geological models, leveraging geophysical data, and executing disciplined drilling to validate mineral continuity across various targets.
Leadership Emphasizes Technical Rigor and Team Contributions
Company executives attribute the latest discovery at Guadual to a combination of strategic planning, technical refinement, and the team's operational execution. Following initial drill testing, the exploration group adjusted its model and returned to the area with a refined campaign, which led to successful intercepts.
The team also acknowledged the importance of sustained surface access and ongoing community collaboration as key enablers of exploration continuity. According to the leadership, these efforts reflect the company's integrated approach to exploration in complex geological and social environments.
Corporate Background
Outcrop Silver and Gold is an active mineral explorer with operations in Colombia. The company has reported multiple high-grade discoveries across its flagship property in recent years. With an experienced technical and operational team, the company remains engaged in advancing exploration within one of South America’s most prospective silver districts.
