SilverCrest Metals Inc. provided an update on the underground rehabilitation and drill programs at its Las Chispas Property (Las Chispas) located in Sonora, Mexico, and report on additional high grade underground sampling results on the 550 level of the Las Chispas Vein. Concurrently with the underground rehabilitation program, Phase II surface and underground drilling programs are underway with 12 core holes completed to date totalling approximately 2,400 metres. All 12 holes have intersected stockwork, veining and/or breccia. Drill results should be available for release in late-February. Underground Rehabilitation Update: To date, the company has accessed approximately 9 kilometres of underground workings, with an additional 2.5 kilometres to be explored over the next several months. As SilverCrest rehabilitates the underground workings, the company continues to systemically collect samples at intervals of two to three metres along strike lengths of veins. The company collected a total of 72 samples on the Las Chispas 550 level from 120 metres of underground access. Of the 72 samples tested, 43 were mineralized samples with 19 used for true thickness assay composites stated below. The remaining samples were of hangingwall and footwall material. Sampling locations and widths are restricted to historic workings which may only represent part of the mineralized vein, stockwork, or breccia. The company has previously drilled three holes in this area, intercepting high grade mineralization with true thicknesses from 1.0 to 7.2 metres. Further surface and underground drilling is planned as part of the Phase II program.
