"Southern's growth strategy is to focus on the development of quality assets, in significant mineralized trends, close to infrastructure. The company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of high-grade precious/base metals properties within North America. Southern Silver's high potential exploration projects combined with a low market capitalization, a commitment to the joint venture business model and low operating costs represent an excellent opportunity for future corporate growth and an increase in shareholder value.
In Mexico the company's copper/gold Minas de Ameca project encompasses a 320 sq. km claim package in a 25 kilometre long mineralized trend in Jalisco State as well as the Pinabete project, a silver-zinc-lead Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) deposit located in Chihuahua State.
The Minas de Ameca project represents an outstanding high-grade copper/gold/silver exploration opportunity that is located along the western margin of the Sierra Madre Occidental terrane. Geological reconnaissance has identified several strongly mineralized, copper-rich breccias located at volcanic-intrusive contacts and numerous structurally controlled, quartz-hematite vein systems which occur along a 25 km long mineralized trend extending southeast through the Magistral 1, El Magistral and Quila properties.
The company has advanced exploration on multiple highly prospective targets within the 25 km long mineralized trend throughout 2008.
The silver-zinc-lead Carbonate Replacement (CRD) Pinabete project is located nearby to the world class Santa Eulalia and Naica deposits.

And in New Mexico the Oro project is a 1,150 hectare gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc project with excellent potential for discovery.
