Silver Bull Provides 2016 Year-End Review And Outlines Work Program For 2017

Tim Barry President & CEO of Silver Bull states, “The start of 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting one for Silver Bull. The exploration drill program targeting the sulphide mineralization provides a new aspect to the Sierra Mojada story which I believe will be transformative to the story if we are able to intercept any significant zones of sulphide. In addition with the strong recent performance and positive outlook for zinc, we now feel the time is right to push the zinc part of the Silver Bull story. Very few companies have zinc assets of the size and grade we have at Sierra Mojada, especially with the sort of infrastructure we have close by immediately adjacent to the project, and in a viable mining country like Mexico. When I consider the silver and zinc resource already defined at Sierra Mojada, coupled with the exploration upside, Silver Bull provides a unique opportunity for investors in both base and precious metals”.

First Majestic drills 11.4 grams per tonne gold over 18.0 metres at Ermitaño

Charles Funk, Evrim’s Vice President of New Opportunities and Exploration commented, “This is an exciting discovery for Evrim and its partner, First Majestic. The intercepts show significant widths within 240 metres from surface into the principal vein, located in a larger vein field. The mineralization is gold rich (relative to silver) and the high gold grades are evenly distributed across the drill intercepts. This discovery is very close to First Majestic’s Santa Elena mine and provides great potential for Evrim to realize Ermitaño’s value in the near term.”
