Silver Elephant's Greenfield Silver Discovery: Sunawayo's SWD001 Drills 137 meters of 36 g/t Silver Starting from 0 meters Depth; SWD002 Drills 31m of 67 g/t AgEq
Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (OTCQX:SILEF) has reported significant silver mineralization at its Sunawayo project in Bolivia. The initial drill holes, SWD001 and SWD002, yielded impressive results: 137 meters of mineralization at 36 g/t silver and 31 meters at 44 g/t silver, respectively. The ongoing drilling program aims to further explore the silver resources, with potential implications for future growth. The Company's strategy includes focusing on Sunawayo while it is financed by top Canadian investment banks, indicating strong support for its operations.
- First drill at Sunawayo intercepts 137 meters at 36 g/t silver.
- Second drill hole shows 31 meters at 44 g/t silver, indicating strong mineralization.
- Remaining holes expected to confirm a major silver discovery.
- Strong backing from leading Canadian investment banks.
- None.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 24, 2021 / Silver Elephant Mining Corp. ("Silver Elephant" or "the Company") (TSX:ELEF)(OTCQX:SILEF)(Frankfurt:1P2N) announces that the first ever drill hole at its Sunawayo project has intercepted 137 meters of mineralization grading 36 g/t silver, starting from 0 meters-depth. The Company acquired the Sunawayo project in central Bolivia in September 2020.
The second drill hole intercepted 31 meters of mineralization grading 44 g/t silver,
The composited results for SWD001 and SWD002 are tabulated below:
Hole ID | From | To | Length (m) | Ag (g/t) | Pb % | Zn % | AgEq* (g/t) |
SWD001 | 0.0 | 137.0 | 137.0 | 36 | 0.12 | 0.02 | 39 |
SWD002 | 1.0 | 32.0 | 31.0 | 44 | 0.39 | 0.48 | 67 |
incl… | 21.0 | 30.0 | 9.0 | 48 | 0.73 | 1.57 | 112 |
Reported widths are intercepted core lengths and not true widths, as relationships with intercepted structures and contacts vary. Based on core-angle measurements, true widths range from
Silver Elephant's maiden 2,300 meter, 15-hole program at the southeastern half of Sunawayo started in December 2020 and is due for completion in March 2021. Three holes (SWD001, SWD002, SWD003) tested the Pujiuni target (500 meters x 250 meters), with the remaining 12 holes testing the Caballo Uma target which is over 8 times larger in size than Pujiuni.
Of the 950 surface samples taken in late 2020 along an 8 km stretch concentrating on aforementioned targets,
Joaquin Merino, Company's VP South American Operation states:
"Sunawayo is receiving the lion's share of attention from Silver Elephant's 9 full-time geologists aiming to maximize the Company's silver resources. Positive assay results from the remaining drill holes (SWD003 to SWD015) would confirm a major silver discovery in the making at Sunawayo."
The Company is financed by leading Canadian investment banks and offers elephant-sized silver exposure via its Sunawayo, Pulacayo, and Triunfo projects.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Silver Elephant adopts industry-recognized best practices in its implementation of QA/QC methods. A geochemical standard control sample and a blank sample are inserted into the sample stream at every 20th sample. Duplicates are taken at every 40th sample. Standards and duplicates, including lab duplicates and standards, are analyzed using scatterplots. Samples are shipped to ALS Global Laboratories in Ururo, Bolivia for preparation. They are then shipped for analysis to ALS Global laboratories in Lima, Peru. Samples are analyzed using Intermediate Level Four Acid Digestion. Silver overlimits ("ore grade") are analyzed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. ALS Laboratories sample management system meets all the requirements of the International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015. All ALS geochemical hub laboratories are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for specific analytical procedures.
All samples are taken from HQ-diameter core were split in half by a diamond-blade masonry saw. One half of the core is submitted for laboratory analysis and the other half is preserved for reference at the Company's secured core facility. All the core is geotechnically analyzed and photographed and then logged by geologists prior to sampling.
