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.”

Alio Gold Inc today announced that it has awarded GDI STRACON GyM S.A. de CV the contract for developing the underground decline at the high grade, high margin Ana Paula project in Guerrero, Mexico. In addition, the Company has engaged JDS Energy and Mining to manage the contract and underground mining operation.

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.”

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.”

“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.
