Leagold CEO Neil Woodyer stated: “The results of the drill program at Bermejal Underground have exceeded our expectations to date, with several areas of high-grade mineralization already defined. We continue to see excellent results as we focus the remainder of the drilling on the Central and Western side of the deposit. We have 15 rigs on site and will complete the drill program in November.”

Americas Silver Corporation is pleased to announce it has commenced production from the San Rafael Mine as the sole source of mill feed at the Company’s Cosalá Operations in Sinaloa, Mexico. Initially, the Company is targeting a throughput of 1500 tonnes per day. The mine is currently producing over 1000 tonnes per day as it continues its ramp-up. There is a stockpile in excess of 25,000 tonnes of San Rafael ore and a further 50,000 tonnes of Nuestra Señora ore at the mill, if required.

Tim Barry, President, CEO and director of Silver Bull states, “We are extremely pleased with the results from this batch of drill core. The new sulphide zone is proving to be very productive for high grade sulphide mineralization. The drilling summarized in this news release targeted the second of three steeply dipping, discreet structures we have identified in the sulphide zone…”

Commenting on the testwork program, Azure’s Managing Director, Mr Tony Rovira said, “Metallurgical factors are always critical when evaluating project viability, and the earlier that this is achieved, the better. This high-level study was undertaken to ensure that the zinc, lead and silver mineralisation at Oposura could be extracted and concentrated into an easily saleable product. These very favourable results allow us to continue progressing development studies with confidence.”

Alrededor de la industria minera persisten concepciones relacionadas a la inseguridad y a las condiciones complejas en las que se trabaja, debido a esto y a que se trata de una actividad en la que el esfuerzo físico es fundamental, el bienestar de los trabajadores cobra un papel de mayor relevancia. En el marco del Séptimo Simposium de Seguridad realizado en la ciudad de Zacatecas del 15 al 17 de noviembre, el ingeniero Fernando Alanís, director general de Industrias Peñoles, destacó el trabajo constante que la empresa minera realiza para proteger en todo momento al factor humano. No obstante, tanto ellos como Sindicato Minero Metalúrgico Frente, reconocen que aún hay áreas de oportunidad que se tienen que trabajar. Dichas áreas se analizaron en los pasados días por las Comisiones de Seguridad e Higiene y los colaboradores de Industrias Peñoles y Fresnillo PLC.
