Consolidated Zinc Ltd. – $1.96m Placement to Accelerate Drilling Programs

The funds raised will be used to accelerate resource drilling that is currently underway both below the underground mine workings in the Cuevitas Zone, at Tres Amigos and at several new areas within the mine at the Company’s highly prospective Plomosas Zinc Project in northern Mexico. In addition, the first regional drillholes targeting new exploration areas will commence early in 2018.

Cerro Cascaron Drill Permitting Underway

Harvest Gold’s President and CEO Rick Mark states: “Recently a meeting of the Harvest Gold/Evrim Resources geological team was held in Vancouver. Priority drill targets were selected in both the main Cascaron gold vein field and the silver-rich Cascarita prospect. With the knowledge gained from the fall 2017 Phase 1 exploration program, which included rock and soil sampling results, geologic mapping and adit sampling results, we have a high level of confidence in our targeting and are looking forward to having these high priority targets tested. Our Joint Venture partner expects the drill permitting process to be complete by the end of January.”

Chesapeake Gold Provides Yarely Drilling and Exploration Update

Mr. Randy Reifel, President states, “We are very early in the drill program with only five holes completed in the Central Prospect. We are very encouraged that Y-02 and Y-03 tested a deep blind IP anomaly that underlies a 3.0 x 1.5 kilometre hydrothermal system exposed on surface and confirms its continuity to a depth of 500 metres. The strength and types of the alteration with increasing copper values lower in the system indicates a potential significant mineralized intrusive. We are also pleased with the first two drill holes in the Spaniard zone. Drill results confirmed the depth of the gold-silver sulfide mineralization to at least 100 metres. Resistivity profiles indicate that several of these structures may extend more than 350 metres below surface.”

Excellon Commences 2018 Exploration Program At Platosa And Appoints New Director

“The upcoming exploration program is founded on a back-to-basics review and reanalysis of the large historical database of geophysics, geochemistry and drilling on the Platosa Property,” stated Ben Pullinger, Vice President Geology. “This analysis has already successfully identified new prospective targets at Jaboncillo and San Gilberto, which have been confirmed by field mapping. We are confident that this methodology and the improved understanding of the regional system surrounding the Platosa Mine will lead to positive exploration results in 2018. We are also pleased to have the funding secured to execute this comprehensive exploration program as we explore for new manto and skarn discoveries on one of Mexico’s most prospective mineral belts.”
