Update On Silver Cliff Drill Program In Colorado


VANCOUVER - Viscount Mining Corp. has hired Godbe Drilling for its upcoming drill program at Silver Cliff, Colorado. Godbe Drilling was first engaged by Viscount for its 2016 drill campaign and is very familiar with Silver Cliff.

Viscount is in the final planning stages of preparing for a drill program at Silver Cliff, Colorado, where we have an open pit resource which we expect to expand. Viscount will be continuing to drill with the objective of adding to the ACS resource estimate of the Kate Silver Resource (KSR)/Kate deposit as well as moving forward on the evaluation of resource potential on 3 other areas of historic deposits at Silver Cliff.

The 2020 program will initially consist of ten core holes. The first four holes will investigate a higher grade zone on the east side of the Kate Silver Resource (KSR). This zone is based on seven historic drill holes and one 2016 hole, and is open in all directions. It trends NNE, and averages 765 g/t silver over 69 meters. Hole 5 will test the Passiflora deposit to a depth of 175 meters. It twins a historic drill hole that had a 10.6 meter interval that assayed 4.8 g/t gold as well as significant silver. Only partial historic data is available for this area. The remaining core holes are aimed at expanding the KSR to the west, north and east. Additional holes will be sited based on Viscount's results from previous drilling, and will produce a better understanding of the accuracy of the historic data.

The Silver Cliff project consists of 96 contiguous patented and unpatented lode claims encompassing approximately 900 hectares in the Hardscrabble Silver District, Custer County, south-central Colorado. The project lies immediately north of the town of Silver Cliff and Westcliffe and is 50 kilometers south of Canon City, 88 kilometers west-southwest of Pueblo and 225 kilometers south of Denver.

Of Viscount's two drilling campaigns on the KSR/Kate deposit, nine holes totaling 455.2 meters were drilled in 2016 and ten additional holes totaling 912.1 meters were drilled in October of 2017. The drilling programs were primarily aimed at verifying the historical drill results
