Mexus Gold US – Santa Elena Project Update

The project continues as expected with the usual growing pains for an expanding miner. Our joint venture and operating partner for the project, MarMar Holdings, has made consistent and steady progress at the mine site. To date, MarMar has constructed two holding ponds, a heap leach pad, performed an initial blast of a quartz vein, started a cyanide drip system on the heap leach pad, and started the Merrill Crowe recovery system. In addition, they also performed a test smelt and produced a small amount of dore using precipitate from the Merrill Crowe plant. These accomplishments are significant and show a determination to bring this project into full production.

Sierra Metals Reports Consolidated Results for the First Quarter of 2017

“Sierra Metals continues to deliver value and growth to investors in the first quarter with a solid financial performance”, commented Igor Gonzales, President and CEO of Sierra Metals. “The Company saw very significant increases in revenue, cashflow and adjusted EBITDA over the prior quarter as well as over the same quarter in 2016. This solid performance is attributable to a very successful operational improvements program at the Yauricocha Mine, continued work to development of new areas for higher grade ore at Bolivar and the reinterpretation of geology at the Cusi Mine which promises to drive increased grade and tonnage in the future. It is also thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team at Sierra Metals, without whom these achievements would not be possible.”

Lithium Australia produces 99.8% Li20 from uneconomic ore

Lithium Australia Managing Director, Adrian Griffin, said: “The ability of Sileach to cope with high levels of contamination in the spodumene concentrate, and still produce a high-purity Lithium Carbonate, is a great achievement. The ability to produce by-products that are not available with conventional processing of spodumene shows great potential.”

SilverCrest Reports Las Chispas Drill Results; Discovers Unmined High Grade Vein, Multiple Intercepts of +1,000 gpt AgEq*

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President & CEO remarked, “The discovery of a sub-parallel unmined high grade vein adjacent to the Las Chispas historic underground workings is exciting, as we systematically drill several veins on the Property for mineralization expansion and future resource estimation. The Giovanni Vein appears to be continuous over a strike length of 400 to 500 metres, 150 to 200 metres in height, and has an average drilled true thickness of 2.0 metres. The new vein is easily accessible via the historic Las Chispas main haulage level (600 level). Closely spaced underground drilling is currently being set up to further test the Main and Giovanni veins. As we drill our known targets, we expect to continue to intercept other “Unnamed” high grade veins.”
