Southern Silver Exploration Corp. announce the appointment of Eugene Spiering to the Board of Directors. Mr. Spiering is an exploration geologist with over 30 years of international experience in mineral exploration and senior level project management in the Western United States, South America, and Europe. As VP Exploration with Rio Narcea Gold Mines Ltd., he participated in every aspect of the mining industry from discovery through project development and production of the El Valle gold and Aguablanca nickel mines in Spain. He is presently VP Exploration for Quaterra Resources Inc. and Duncastle Gold Corp.

The company also reported on the status of the Cerro Las Minitas property. The company has traced the Blind zone and El Sol mineralization at nominal 50 to 80 metre drill spacing for a cumulative 820 metres strike-length in a northwest-southeast direction and to depths of up to 550 metres in some drill holes. Small scale mining on both zones is being conducted through two recently constructed shafts and head frames constructed by the Optionor at his expense. The shafts are approximately 3m x 3m with poured concrete walls and have been designed to access high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralization that was identified in drill hole CLM11-008 (10.9m averaging 268g/t Ag, 4.5% Pb and 3.8% Zn) and in drill hole CLM11-16 (4.5m averaging 192g/t Ag, 0.3% Cu, 5.3% Pb and 8.4% Zn). The shafts are located 200 metres apart and extend to over 100 metres in depth. Mineralized material is winched out of the shafts and is hand sorted before transport to a local mill facility for processing and sale. Mining has been ongoing for 4 to 5 months and the Company estimates that the Optionor has shipped up to 3,000 tonnes of mineralized material in that period. The Optionor of the property recently advised the Company of his preference not to amend the terms of the purchase agreement reported by the Company (NR-05-15) and accordingly his mining rights will expire on May 18, 2015, at which time the company will take possession of the property, including the shafts and mining infrastructure. Continuing option payments are USD 500,000 on November 18, 2014 and USD 100,000 on March 18, 2015 at which time the company will own a 100% interest in the 18 mineral concessions, which will include the current mining operations on the core claims at the Cerro on the west side of the 13,641 hectare property. Significantly, there are no royalty burdens on the property.
