Summa Silver Corp. (“Summa” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SSVR) (OTCQB: SSVRF) (Frankfurt:48X – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/summa-silver-corp/) is pleased to announce that it has engaged National Drilling EWP of Elko, NV to carry out drilling at the Company’s high-grade silver-gold Hughes Property near Tonopah, Nevada in 2021.

Drilling is expected to start in early to mid-April. The focus of the drilling will be to expand on previously reported high-grade silver and gold intercepts at hole spacings suitable for mineral resource estimation. Further details on specific targets and total meters to be drilled will be finalized and announced in due course as the Company continues to await assays from the 14 outstanding holes remaining from the 2020 drill program.

Key highlights from the 2020 drill program so far include*:

  • 3,760 g/t silver equivalent (1,762 g/t Ag and 19.99 g/t Au) over 2.5 m from 347.1 m within
    596 g/t silver equivalent (286 g/t Ag and 3.10 g/t Au) over 18.5 m from 347.1 m in SUM20-06

Galen McNamara, CEO, commented: “With the closing of our $10,168,00 financing last month which included a significant investment from Mr. Eric Sprott, the Company has approximately $13,500,000 in cash on hand. We are fully financed to complete aggressive drill programs at both Hughes, NV and Mogollon, NM in 2021 as we push towards mineral resource estimates. National Drilling EWP is a safety, environmental and client focused leader in both reverse-circulation and core drilling in the United States with clients that include some of the largest mining companies in the world. We’re happy to welcome National back to the project after executing a safe and efficient program last year. In addition, we look forward to releasing the remaining results form the 2020 drill program and will do so once results become available.”

2020 Drill Results Update

Due to ongoing delays at geochemical analytical labs, assay results for 14 of 29 holes drilled during the 2020 drill program remain pending. Samples submitted to ALS Global of Reno, NV in early December are now being assayed in Vancouver after being crushed and pulverized at preparation facilities in Mexico. The Company will release results once the data have been received, interpreted, and modelled. The Company is currently reviewing all available options to speed up analytical turn-around times for exploration programs in 2021.
