SilverCrest Identifies Bonanza Grade Area at Las Chispas; 4.5 Metres grading 2,516 gpt AgEq*

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President and CEO, remarked, “Channel sampling in the newly rehabilitated historic underground workings in the Las Chispas Vein is defining continuous unmined areas with bonanza grades. Several of these channel results are within 30 metres of the recently announced drill hole LC17-45, which intercepted 1.9 metres of 8,803 gpt AgEq. This Bonanza Grade Area is easily accessible for potential bulk sampling and mining. This area is an example of the potential high value mineralization that we continue to systematically explore at the Property. We are driving our underground and surface programs at Las Chispas to deliver a maiden resource in Q1 2018.”

Golden Minerals Cuts 5.0 Meters of 431 g/t Silver at Santa Maria

Warren Rehn, President and CEO of Golden Minerals, comments, “The results from Santa Maria show the continuation of the mineralized veins and provide initial support for our goal of doubling the size of the existing resource. Santa Maria appears to be an excellent opportunity for Golden to establish near?term new silver production in the Parral area at a very low capital cost. We are executing our exploration programs efficiently while retaining a healthy cash balance and without the need for additional financing.”

Mammoth Resources Announces Priority Drill Targets at Tenoriba

Thomas Atkins, President and CEO of Mammoth commented on the drill targeting stating: “We’ve completed the consolidation of all surface results from the various exploration activities on the property. This work has enabled Mammoth to identify what we feel are the most compelling drill targets to test gold mineralization over an approximate 6 kilometre strike length of surface gold mineralization within the High Sulphidation, precious metal mineralizing system at Tenoriba.”

Goldcorp reports 2017 reserve and resource estimates and provides exploration update

“With the initial gold reserve estimate at Century completed, we are now more than one third of the way toward reaching our target of 60 million ounces of gold reserves by 2021. The continued exploration success at Coffee and Cerro Negro is a direct result of our new, systematic approach to exploration and is expected to contribute toward that goal,” said Paul Harbidge, Senior Vice-President Exploration. “Our exploration strategy for the coming year will continue to focus on brownfield targets at or near our existing camps where we have demonstrated a high rate of success. We are excited by the exploration potential of our newly acquired Cerro Casale/Caspiche Project where, in addition to the two main deposits, there are numerous satellite and early stage targets for evaluation.”

Goldcorp Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results

“We have delivered another quarter of on target gold production at low costs, led by strong operating performance at Peñasquito and Cerro Negro.

Defiance’s Phase 1 Drilling Significantly Expands High Grade Mineralized Envelope at San Acacio

“We are very pleased with our continued exploration success at San Acacio. The Phase 1 results significantly expanded the mineralized envelope of the San Acacio silver deposit. Mapping and mineralogical studies indicate that the mineralized system hosting the San Acacio deposit is tilted to the southeast. This suggests that drilling along strike could result in the discovery of new mineralized zones containing the full vertical extent of the mineralizing system. Our next step is to prepare for the commencement of an aggressive Phase II drill program targeting new high grade shoots within the 900 meter extension of the Veta Grande vein system to the southeast of the San Acacio deposit.” stated Roy Bonnell, President and CEO of Defiance Silver Corp.
