Southern Silver Exploration Corp. is an exploration stage company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of precious and base metal properties in North America. Originally incorporated in 1963 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, the company embarked on its journey in the mining sector as Newcoast Silver Mines Ltd. before rebranding to its current name in July 2004. Its primary endeavor is centered around the exploration for gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc ores, with a keen interest in contributing to the metals market. Southern Silver’s strategy is to identify and develop mineral-rich properties, with a significant emphasis on its flagship property, the Cerro Las Minitas project in Durango State, Mexico, which spans approximately 27,422 hectares and is comprised of twenty-five mineral concessions.
Southern Silver’s portfolio includes the exploration for gold, a precious metal with a significant economic value. Gold exploration involves geological surveys and drilling to locate potential deposits, an endeavor Southern Silver pursues within its properties, aiming to discover commercially viable quantities of gold.
As intimated by its name, Southern Silver places a significant focus on silver exploration. Silver, both a precious and industrial metal, is sought after for its investment value and wide usage in various industrial applications. Southern Silver endeavors to uncover significant silver deposits through comprehensive exploration practices.
The company also engages in the exploration of copper, a base metal essential in electrical wiring, plumbing, and coinage, amongst other uses. Copper exploration is geared towards identifying deposits that could support mining operations, contributing to the global copper supply.
Exploring for lead and zinc represents another aspect of Southern Silver’s operations. Both metals are used extensively across several industries, including construction, automotive, and pharmaceuticals. The exploration for these ores is crucial for discovering new sources that can satisfy market demand.
The Cerro Las Minitas project is Southern Silver's flagship property, heralding the company's exploration efforts in Durango State, Mexico. Covering an area of roughly 27,422 hectares, this project is composed of twenty-five mineral concessions. It underscores the company’s focused investment in the exploration and potential development of precious and base metal deposits.
