“I am pleased to report a solid operational performance in the period, with quarterly silver production up on the first quarter, driven mainly by a sharp improvement in ore grades at San Julián. We continue to see a consistent contribution of development ore from our Juanicipio project, where construction of the processing plant remains on track for commissioning by the end of the year.”
Exploration work in the Copalquin Gold-Silver District has continued to develop and expand the El Refugio discovery with multiple bonanza grade intercepts drilled, extension of the mineralised zone along strike and down-dip and expansive soil sampling program.
Darren Pylot, President and CEO of Capstone commented, “This was a strong quarter with record copper production at Cozamin and completion of the majority of phase 2 PV3 Optimization work at Pinto Valley”. Mr. Pylot added, “We also published our 2020 Sustainability Report, which details our ESG-related programs and reaffirms our long-standing commitment to responsible mining practices.”
Allen Palmiere, President and CEO said “Our operations team continues to demonstrate their ability to be nimble and adaptive operators all while focusing on excellent environmental, social and governance practices. Notwithstanding an excellent work culture, there were two lost time incidents at the Don David Gold Mine during Q2 2021, which were investigated, and measures were taken to reinforce adherence to safety protocols.”
The Company is pleased to announce the launch of its completely redesigned corporate website. The new site features a clean and responsive modern design, simplified usability, functionality, alongside easy access to essential information about Altaley and its projects.
J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almaden, stated, “The original Ixtaca discovery was made through clever geologic assembly of published information and on-the-ground observation of field data. This has resulted in the discovery of an economic gold-silver deposit as outlined in the Feasibility Study, with evidence (geologic, geochemical, geophysical) for the possibility of a similar deposit, as well as the possibility of deeper precious/base metal deposit(s). It is very exciting to return to prospect drilling of some of the blue sky targets that have been identified on this property.”
“Drilling along the 4-Trench extension target has defined a new trend over a 500m strike length immediately adjacent to our Main Zone”, commented VP Exploration, Brodie Sutherland. “We are seeing mineralization in every hole along the trend with grades above 1 g/t gold in holes JES-21-53 and JES-21-44, 100m apart. This first pass of drilling has started to unlock the potential of a new parallel trend to our Main Zone which we are excited to test in our next phase of drilling.”
The Company’s President & CEO and Director, Brandon Rook, commented, “With our recent closing of the transaction for the Ranger-Page Project in Idaho, the name change from OrganiMax Nutrient Corp. to Silver Valley Metals Corp. more accurately reflects the new exploration focus and strategic direction of the Company going forward.”
Robert Cameron, President and CEO states: “Commander is pleased to welcome Southern Empire as a project partner on our Pedro Gold project. Our work since acquisition in 2016 has refined drill ready targets in this large epithermal-style gold target and through this agreement will see them drill tested. Furthermore, David Tupper, VPX for Southern Empire was the initial discoverer of Pedro and brings a wealth of knowledge and local experience to the project.”
David Tupper, Southern Empire’s Vice President of Exploration, stated: “Having been involved in the Pedro Gold Project discovery, I am very excited to get a second chance to work with Commander’s Rob Cameron and to return to the mineral-endowed Mapimí area to test targets I had to leave behind. Newmont’s 2014 drill program targeted Carlin-style mineralization in the Caracol Formation and did not test the potential for epithermal, bonanza-grade gold and silver mineralization, especially in the well-defined zones of silicification and brecciation.”
