Brian Robertson, President & CEO, stated “The mineralization controls at Las Minas are similar to the Guerrero Gold belt, which is the site of the Los Filos and Morelos gold deposits. In both areas, the high gold values are associated with intrusive hosted systems, with initial high magnetite/hematite fluid flows mobilizing the gold mineralization, followed by later stage precipitation of the magnetite. We anticipate that the ground magnetic geophysical survey will identify potential gold/magnetite extensions to the highgrade mineralization intersected in step-out hole LM-17-CS-04 as well as elsewhere at Cinco Senores.

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Alset said: “Management has been impressed with the success we have had with the exploration of our original group of salars. As previously reported from the work on our original group of salars we have found high-grade lithium-potassium in some of those salars, they are in a mining friendly jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure. Alset currently has a large number of brine and soil samples being processed, the company decided that this would be an appropriate time to acquire further salars in the area. We are fortunate to be involved in a sector that will be crucial for the energy industry with lithium needed for energy storage and having the bonus of potassium crucial for the production of fertilizers needed for farming in Mexico. With our new acquisitions, we will have a 100% interest in a group of salars that span an entire province.”

Robert Macdonald, Vice President of Exploration stated “The identification of such a thick interval of new copper-enriched mineralization in hole 17CLM-098 is tremendously encouraging and continues to further highlight the potential to both expand the current and develop new mineral resources on the margin of the Central Intrusion.”

The program, operated by Pan American, will total approximately 4,055 meters of core drilling over 25 holes. Drilling will focus on brownfield targets and consist of primarily infill drilling as well as step out holes to depth.

The Company is highly encouraged by the overall results of the drill program at Mojardina with a new zone of mineralisation identified at the southern extent of the structure and expansionary drilling below Evangelina and Las Animas confirming mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike. Each of the three RC drill programs undertaken at the Mojardina prospect have added significantly to its advancement and delivered material results that confirm the potential for a near surface, bulk tonnage silver resource.

En vísperas de celebrar mañana 11 de julio el Día del Minero, autoridades universitarias y de la minería nacional, realizaron la inauguración del “X Diplomado en Prevención de Riesgos de la Industria Minera 2017”, evento que tendrá como sede la Universidad Autónoma de Zacatecas (UAZ).
