Silver Elephant Executes Drilling Program at Paca
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 14, 2020 – Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (“Silver Elephant” or “the Company”) (TSX: ELEF, OTCQX:SILEF, Frankfurt:1P2N) announces it has completed a 545 meter exploration drilling program at the Paca deposit at the Pulacayo Project in Bolivia.
Almost all of the previous 19,688 meters of drilling conducted at Paca were completed in a north-south direction. The drilling defined the resource envelope hosting Paca’s main east-west mineralized trend.
During the mapping completed in late 2019 Silver Elephant geologists recognized additional structures in the Paca area that may run oblique to the main east-west trending structure.
In this program, 5 holes were drilled diagonally to test possible oblique structures for ‘blind’ mineralization that might have previously gone undetected.
Core samples have been submitted to the laboratory for assay. Results are expected sometime in November 2020.
