Torex Makes Another ‘South of the River’ Discovery

Torex Gold Resources Inc. is pleased to report that the first two holes drilled into its Media Luna West target have returned high-value, gold-copper-silver mineralization of significant thickness. Borehole SS-06 delivered 14.6m with Au eq. grade of 8.76 g/t. Borehole MLW-04 delivered 39.4m with Au eq. grade of 4.00 g/t The Media Luna Area contains three magnetic anomaly targets that cover approximately 500 hectares. Media Luna West is the second of these targets to be drill tested and is located approximately 1.4 km to the west of the main Media Luna target. The third target is scheduled to be tested later in the drill program and as well, there are several other magnetic anomaly targets in close proximity to the Media Luna Area, at the Morelos Gold Project in Mexico.

Source Reports More High-Grade Mineralization in Step-Out Drilling at Las Minas

Source Exploration Corp. is pleased to report that step-out drilling at the Santa Cruz target at the Las Minas project in Mexico has intersected high-grade mineralization along-strike from that previously discovered in hole LM-11-SC-45, within the larger halo of copper-gold mineralization at Las Minas. As previously reported, hole LM-SC-45 returned an intercept of 15.89 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) 12.98 grams per tonne silver (g/t Ag) and 2.25 percent copper (% Cu) over 10.0 metres. Step-out drilling has returned significant gold values as well as some of the highest grade silver and copper intercepts recorded to date. The higher grade mineralization appears to be closely associated with skarn-type alteration with high magnetite content ranging up to 90% by volume. A detailed magnetic geophysical survey has been initiated in an effort to better define future drill targets.
