Viscount Mining Corp (CVE:VML) (OTCQB:VLMGF) told investors on Thursday that soil sampling had begun at its Silver Cliff property in Colorado, to be followed by a ground magnetic survey as the company kicks off this year's field season.

The goal of these two studies is to give the company a better understanding of the extent of the high-grade Kate East zone at the property ahead of a phase of drilling expected this summer.

The soil samples will be analyzed using SGS's proprietary Mobile Metallic Ion (MMI) technology, which the company said it had success with at its Cherry Creek project in 2011.

In a statement, Viscount said: "Phase 2 drilling will begin shortly. Plans are to focus on increasing the silver resource to the east, continue to define the Kate East zone and additional exploration drilling in the Passiflora target.

"A third phase will commence in mid to late summer 2021, and refinement of current targets will be reviewed in conjunction with the results from the spring program."

Viscount's 2020/2021 drill campaign has three objectives. These are to expand the previously defined Kate resource (KSR) with the objective of adding to the NI 43 101 resource estimate of the KSR/Kate deposit. Also, to further outline the Kate East high-grade zone, as well as moving forward on the evaluation of the resource potential of several other promising targets.

Silver Cliff sits in the historic Hardscrabble silver district in Custer county and boasts year-round access by paved road. It comprises over 2,300 hectares where high-grade silver, gold and base metals were produced from 1878 to the early 1900s.

Cherry Creek is an exploration property in the Cherry Creek Mining District, around 50 miles north of the town of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada.

Viscount Mining is a project generator and an exploration company with a portfolio of silver and gold properties in the western US, including Silver Cliff in Colorado and Cherry Creek in Nevada.
