SilverCrest connects Babicanora veins at Las Chispas Las Chipas project in Mexico (Credit: SilverCrest) As SilverCrest Metals (TSX: SIL; NYSE: SILV) prepares to put its Las Chispas project in Sonora, Mexico, into production by the second half of 2022, its latest infill and expansion drill results suggest 1.3 km of strike continuity across the three veins in the Babicanora area. The results include assays for 78 holes, totalling 29,308 metres of drilling, completed at the Babi Vista veins and splays, the Granaditas veins and the adjacent hangingwall and footwall veins at Babicanora. Although the drilling was completed in areas with existing mineral resources and close to planned underground development, the Splay and Granaditas veins contain inferred resources that are outside of the mine plan outlined in the February 2021 feasibility. This study outlines underground development within 180 metres of high-grade intercepts from the Splay.
