Almadex Minerals Receives Final El Cobre Assays From 2017

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, “We are very excited to report these final assays from the very successful 2017 drill program. In 2017 we stepped out roughly 2 kilometers to the south of the Norte Zone and hit significant mineralisation in first pass drilling in the northern part of the large Villa Rica Zone. We believe that the results from Raya Tembrillo are proof of large scale porphyry potential in this part of the project. The drill results from 2016 and 2017 clearly show that we are dealing with a large cluster of porphyry systems all of which hold the potential to be important porphyry copper-gold deposits. We are currently defining a large 2018 drill program and look forward to reporting that shortly.”

Canuc Reports 10 Metres of 210 g/t Silver & 5.0 g/t Gold at Carranza-Lydia Zones

“These results confirm continuity of high grade mineralization along trend at San Javier. We are very pleased with the higher gold numbers found at the Lydia zone which has been sampled over a 10 metre section on surface. Internal to this section, there appears to be 6 metres evidencing substantially higher gold and silver grades. As first identified in our drill program during 2017, the defining characteristic of our San Javier property appears to be the higher relative grades.” stated Hub Mockler, Executive Chairman.

Coeur Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2017 Results and Provides 2018 Cost Guidance

“Coeur’s robust operating performance during the fourth quarter led to strong financial results for the quarter and full year. Our multi-year strategic initiatives are generating higher-quality ounces and strong cash flow from our well-balanced portfolio of North American-based assets,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, Coeur’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “During 2017, we successfully repositioned and strengthened the Company on multiple fronts. We upgraded our portfolio and pipeline of assets to reflect a North American focus with the acquisition of the high-grade Silvertip mine in Canada, our announced divestiture of our highest cost mine in Bolivia and the sales of nine non-core assets. We repositioned our balance sheet to provide greater financial flexibility and materially reduce annual interest expense. By allocating additional capital to near-mine exploration, we expanded our reserve and resource base by double digit percentage increases, which we anticipate will lead to high-return, long-term value for our stockholders.”
