SilverCrest Announces Historic Las Chispas Mine Rehabilitation and Drilling; Huasabas Project Update

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President & CEO stated, “Las Chispas is a very exciting brownfields exploration story. The project area consists of a district size target with multiple historic surface and underground mines that reportedly produced an estimated 100 million ounces of silver and 200 thousand ounces of gold between 1880 and 1930. Reported average production grades from limited public information were approximately 15 grams per tonne (gpt) gold and 1,700 grams per tonne (gpt) silver over widths of 1 to 5 metres. Our initial underground channel sampling of exposed mineralization has shown grades up to 15.1 gpt Au and 1,340 gpt Ag over 1.3 metres. To our knowledge, all mineralized zones in the district, which include multiple epithermal veins, have not been previously drilled. The underground rehabilitation program will help further assess the potential for near surface deposits and deeper extensions of mineralization. A majority of the underground workings have been inaccessible for over 80 years, and historic records suggest several previously developed areas were not mined due to closure around 1930. The Company is well financed with over $6.5 million and the 2016 exploration expenditures are expected to be in the range of $1 to $1.2 million.”

Firma Acquires Fully Permitted Magistral Tailings Project

Mr. Francis Biscan Jr., President of Firma Holdings Corp., stated, “We feel very fortunate to have secured this opportunity. With a project that has been advanced to the degree of Magistral, being fully permitted, with all the metallurgical work completed by a reputable firm, such as Kappes Cassiday, it is a very rare find for our company. Additionally, because of the way we were able to restructure various elements of the project, we have created a project that can be very attractive to a JV Partner or a direct funder. We believe the mining sector is looking for low cost production over exploration and we would attribute that to the interest from multiple groups that are actively engaged in due diligence and the desire to make an offer to partner with us in the production of Magistral. The ability for a project to be in production within a 120 days of funding, adds to interest and motivation to drive an attractive deal.”
