SilverCrest Announces First Drill Hole Results From Las Chispas; Multiple Drill Intercepts of Greater Than 2,000 gpt AgEq

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President & CEO remarked, “The initial Las Chispas drill hole results received to date are impressive. Not only do they indicate bonanza grades of up to*** 18.55 gpt Au and 2,460 gpt Ag or 3,851.3 gpt AgEq*, but also show mineralized widths up to 7.2 metres in estimated true thickness. These first results have exceeded our expectations and appear to confirm that historic mining completed in the early 1900’s has left behind substantial unexplored, unmined and easily accessible high grade mineralization. Until now, we have only been guided by what we could access from the estimated 11.5 kilometres of historic underground workings with approximate mined widths of 1 to 3 metres. Our drilling adjacent to historic workings now suggests that 1 to 3 metres may be the minimum widths of the Las Chispas vein. By combining our recent underground sampling and new drill results for the first of several veins to be explored, we have begun to discover the hidden potential of this district-wide play. This news release is the first of a series of releases on Phase I drill results and other activities to be announced over the next several weeks.”

Excellon Reports Second Quarter 2016 Production

“Production during the second quarter remained steady and slightly improved from Q1,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As a result of drier underground conditions, we accessed the second level of the Rodilla Manto where further high grade mineralization was mined. With operations on firmer track as a result of our continued efforts to improve operational efficiencies, we expect these improvements to reflect well in our operating costs during the quarter, further benefitted by higher commodity prices. As we move into the third quarter of 2016, we intend to remain focused on improving our operations through the ongoing optimization program, while carrying out exploration drilling near existing infrastructure and following up on high priority, drill-ready targets.”

Odyssey Marine Exploration Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results

“As we await the approval of the MIA for the ‘Don Diego’ project, we remain confident that the project will move forward and our Mexican subsidiary is continuing ongoing efforts to support the environmental approval process with a goal of approval in the second half of 2016. Our current focus is to continue to secure contract work that keeps our offshore team and tools engaged while generating revenue. Although many of these third-party marine service agreements require us to abide by a non-disclosure agreement, I am happy to say that we are currently working on an offshore project on a chartered vessel of opportunity, and we also have additional opportunities in our pipeline that we expect to come to fruition in the near term. We anticipate that our third quarter activities will again generate double the revenue we produced this quarter.”
