Arian Silver Corporation announced the completion of preliminary exploration work on its wholly-owned La Africana Project ('La Africana') located within the Pánfilo Natera area of central Zacatecas. La Africana is a past-producing high grade silver mine located in close proximity to the Company's San Celso project, and benefits from excellent infrastructure, just 3 kilometres from the Zacatecas-San Luis Potosi highway. The Pánfilo Natera area is an emerging mining district that is known to host several large silver and base metal deposits and is located approximately 50 kilometres south of the State capital, Zacatecas. The La Africana area is a brownfield site with all-weather access roads and comprises the past-producing La Africana mine. Geological work recently undertaken by Arian Silver comprising underground mapping and sampling indicates that the La Africana Vein contains significant silver mineralisation over commercially viable widths. The underground workings have been surveyed and the results of this survey indicate mining terminated at approximately 50 metres below surface coinciding with the current water table. Evidence suggests that the mineralisation extends below this level. The company is currently conducting a surface mapping and sampling programme with a view to identifying further mineralised structures and exploration targets. The Company expects to provide an exploration update of the La Africana project by summer 2017.
