Kootenay Silver President & CEO Jim McDonald states, “Drilling at Las Venadas was successful in identifying what we believe is a very significant new silver zone with potential to add to the La Cigarra silver resource count (see news releases August 30th, 2017Anchor and August 15th, 2017). Obviously we are looking forward to the follow up drill program on the new discovery once the current program is complete. Meanwhile we are excited to get the first ever drill holes into the La Navidad Zone, which offers considerable exploration upside given it’s similarities to the San Gregorio part of the deposit just 500 meters to the west.”

Brian Robertson, President and CEO stated, “The Phase 2 diamond drilling program marks the next phase of expanding the resource at the Las Minas project. We will be drilling three high-priority targets with known mineralization and well defined geophysical targets. It is becoming increasingly evident that there is a significant opportunity to expand the current resource as well as extend the footprint of the known mineralized zones.”

J. Alberto Arias, Chairman of the board of Sierra Metals, stated “we are delighted to have progressed discussions with Jinchuan to formalize of a memorandum of understanding and we are looking forward to accelerating the development of the Bahuerachi project in partnership with Jinchuan. We expect to be able to take advantage of the synergies in our operations at Bolivar, sharing our expertise and local know-how. We value our relationship with Jinchuan and foresee further growth opportunities for both companies working together in Mexico and Latin America.”
