Auxico Announces Encouraging Metallurgical Results for the Campanillas Mine

Auxico Resources Canada Inc. is pleased to announce encouraging metallurgical results from a 2.095 kg sample (2,095 g) taken from the volcanic breccia hostrock material in the footwall of the Campanillas Mine, which is located in the north-east corner of the Zamora Property. The sample contains 1.98 kg/t of silver (1,980 g/t) and 2.01 g/t of gold. This sample was treated by the Centre for Mineral Technology and Plastics in Thetford Mines in order to optimize the metallurgical extraction of both gold and silver. The recovery of gold was 71.60% and 92.9% for silver, as a result of processing this material by gravity and flotation methods.

Corex Receives First Proceeds from Gold Sales at Santana Property

“The first gold sold from the Santana property is not only validation of Chester Millar and our technical team’s belief in the open-pit heap-leach amenable Santana property but also the culmination of years of effort from those that preceded him and originally identified the prospectivity of the area. We look forward to completing the ongoing bulk testing and optimization studies and using future gold concentrate production to reconcile the larger scale potential of the core Nicho zones,” stated Doug Ramshaw, President and CEO.

Great Panther Silver Reports Third Quarter 2017 Financial Results

“The third quarter was a very successful and eventful quarter for Great Panther. Our Mexican operations delivered production in support of our guidance for the year and continued to advance the permitting of the new tailings facility at Topia,” stated Jim Bannantine, President & CEO. “After closing the acquisition of Coricancha just before the start of the third quarter, we quickly turned our attention to advancing a resource update and on engineering and environmental studies, and other evaluations in support of a decision to restart mine development. I am pleased that we continue to maintain a strong balance sheet with $55 million of cash and deposits, no debt and strong liquidity of our shares. These factors along with a solid management team put us in a good position to pursue acquisitions.”

SilverCrest Announces High Metallurgical Test Recoveries For Las Chispas

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President and CEO, remarked, “Another milestone has been completed for the Las Chispas Property which continues to show increasing significance as an emerging high-grade silver-gold district. Historically, there were five mills in the district before 1930, four cyanidation and one flotation, which gave us a good indication that the metallurgy would be amenable to standard processing methods. This indication has now been confirmed with testwork showing excellent metal recoveries. The Las Chispas mineralization is similar to that of the nearby producing Santa Elena Mine (constructed by SilverCrest Mines Inc., the predecessor of SilverCrest Metals), which has current metal recoveries of 90% or greater for both silver and gold. With this metallurgical milestone now behind us, we can more confidentially plan for our Las Chispas maiden resource in Q1 2018.”
