Plata America said that the after the samples of the metals and minerals are extracted, a preliminary metallurgical test indicated that the samples had high purity.

Plata America’s Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Ramon Fernandez commented on the drilling results saying "Our most recent drill results concluded that the these metals have some of the highest grading we have seen. Our team drilled to depths of 12,000 meters and widths up to 430 meters. We have now completed over 38,400 meters of drilling on the silver, zinc and lead project, and we anticipate consistency in production for the rest of the year.”

Plata America’s drilling program continues to define a polymetallic mineralized system of silver, zinc and lead cross-cutting at the Sombrerete mine and plans to complete over 52,000 meters of drilling by the end of 2020 and the resource estimates of the silver, zinc and lead discovery are conservative.

Plata America will conduct an intensive mining and exploration program followed by further metallurgical testing in February 2021. If the given resource estimates exceed current estimates, then a team will be put in place expand structures for new mining and processing.
