Viscount Mining (VML) has completed fieldwork of the second phase of drilling at its Silver Cliff property in Colorado.

The company has a three-phase drill program planned for the property.

The 2021 Phase 2 exploration campaign is designed to expand the NI 43-101 Kate Silver Resource did in 2018. The company plans to do that by further defining the limits of the Kate East zone, and has the potential of increasing the grade and size of the deposit.

The Silver Cliff property in Colorado lies within the historic Hardscrabble Silver District in the Wet Mountain Valley, Custer County, south-central Colorado. It is located 44 miles West Southwest of Pueblo, Colorado.

Tenneco Minerals leased the Kate property in 1987. They had the previous drill data available to them, which was the results from 11,930 meters in 249 drill holes that had been done since 1968.

Viscount is also expanding the drilling to increase the tonnage that can be included in upcoming resource reports.

Additional drilling was conducted at the Passiflora target to continue to explore the potential to add to the total resource of the Silver Cliff project.

The company commenced drilling on March 31 of this year and completed 10 holes for a total of 697 metres. The core from the 10 holes has been submitted to the lab for assays and will be news released when received.

Viscount Mining is a project generator and an exploration company with a portfolio of silver and gold properties in the Western United States, including Silver Cliff in Colorado and Cherry Creek in Nevada.

Viscount Mining is up 2.94 per cent on the day, with shares of the company trading at C$0.35 at 3:26 pm ET.
