Oceanus Intersects 10.9 g/t Gold and 2,830.4 g/t Silver Over 0.75 Meters at its El Tigre Property in Sonora, Mexico

“The high gold and silver grades intersected in drill holes ET-17-145 and ET-17-144 have defined the Caleigh and Protectora veins as high priority targets to develop new mineral resources on El Tigre,” stated Glenn Jessome, President and CEO, Oceanus Resources. “Furthermore, hole ET-17-145 has provided Oceanus with initial evidence of the wide, low-grade alteration zone located along the Caleigh vein and this target seems to replicate what we see at the El Tigre mine located 800 meters to the south,” continued Mr. Jessome.

Consolidated Zinc Ltd. – Patersons Securities Research – Dealing Desk Note

Consolidated Zinc Limited has unveiled its new strategy to target larger scale production from its 51% owned Plomosas Zinc mine in Chihuahua, Mexico. The Company plans to move into production during 2019 targeting a 250,000tpa production rate with a mine life of 7-10 years. This is a substantial increase over the 100,000tpa contemplated in the recent scoping study. This has occurred due to recent positive exploration results and recent expansions to the project’s Mineral Resource as well as positive findings in the recently completed Scoping Study. In order to achieve the larger production rates the Company plans to conduct an aggressive extensional and infill drill program to convert more material into the Indicated category (from Inferred) and complete further metallurgical testwork to maximise recoveries. In parallel, the Company plans to do some regional exploration including first pass drilling on outcropping targets where rockchip samples have returned results >20% Zn+Pb.

Mexican Gold Mobilizes Drill Rig Back to El Dorado/Juan Bran for Infill and Resource Expansion Drilling Surrounding High-Grade Mineralization Intersected in Hole LM-17-ED-40

Mexican Gold Corp. is pleased to announce that it has commenced infill and resource expansion drilling to extend the three high – grade zones intersected in recently completed hole LM -17-ED -40. Hole LM-17 ED-40 was drilled as a resource expansion hole and intersected three high- grade intervals over significant widths.

Endeavour Silver Drilling Discovers Potential Bulk Tonnage Silver Mineralization in the Palmilla Mine Area, Parral Project, Chihuahua, Mexico

Luis Castro, Vice President of Exploration for Endeavour Silver, commented, “Our discovery of potential bulk tonnage silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization in the Palmilla mine area, that may be amenable to open pit mining, is an exciting new development for the Parral district in general and our property in particular. It gives us a second mineralized area with resource potential to complement the Veta Colorada area where we have already verified a portion of the historic high grade silver resource (see news release dated October 24, 2017). Drilling continues on the Parral property in a third mineralized area known as the San Patricio vein which lies to the north of Palmilla. A new resource estimate for the Parral property will be prepared at year-end for release in the 1st quarter of 2018.”

Silver Bull Intersects 16 Meters of Sulphide Mineralization Grading 396G/T Silver & 1.61% Copper, Including 6 Meters Grading 610G/T Silver & 1.12% Copper on the Sierra Mojada Project, Coahuila, Mexicp

Tim Barry, President, CEO and director of Silver Bull states, “The results from this batch of drilling in the sulphide zone are exceptional. The consistent high grade silver-copper mineralization we see in this particular area is hosted along a steeply dipping fault and remains open down dip and in the east and west directions. From what we now know, it has also become apparent that this zone is severely underrepresented in historic drilling as the historic surface drill holes in this area are vertical, meaning that unless they were drilled directly down the steeply dipping structures we are currently defining, any drilling in this area would have completely missed these very high grade zones…”
