Pete Dougherty, President and CEO of Argonaut Gold stated, “I am proud of what the team has accomplished. We had a record year of production as a Company. We met our production guidance for the year, even with lower grades than planned at El Castillo. At La Colorada, throughput and production exceeded expectations. We were able to increase cash on the balance sheet in the second half of the year and were only slightly down year-over-year, even after the $20 million final payment to complete the purchase of the San Agustin project. We expect to make a construction decision on this project in the latter part of 2016. We were able to negotiate key contracts and streamline the business to allow us to plan for fully loaded costs (including operating, capital, taxes and corporate administrative costs) to be less than $1,000 per ounce for 2016. This gives us tremendous leverage to a rise in gold price..”

Fred Davidson, President and CEO, stated, “Our production performance during the fourth quarter 2015 continues to demonstrate IMPACT Silver’s success and viability as a proven explorer and producer as it continues to manage its costs and mining grades. With a decade of production history, this quarter we continue to generate some of the highest grades in the Company’s history at 190 g/t silver. Despite lower silver prices persisting in 2015, our focus on profitability and higher grade zones of silver especially at San Ramon and Mirasol resulted in revenue per tonne of $91.68 compared to $68.75 in the comparative quarter for 2014. IMPACT is currently free from long-term debt and our operations are primarily funded by production cash flow. However, if the price of silver remains at current low levels, the Company may consider opportunities to improve its balance sheet and fund future developments through financing and/or acquisition or merger.”

San Marco Resources Inc. announces it proposes to carry out, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, a private placement of up to 3,000,000 units at $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $150,000.

Canarc Resource Corp. is pleased to announce that it has closed the second tranche of its private placement equity financing that was announced in the Company’s news release dated February 16, 2016.

As also announced on May 5, 2015, the Company still intends to dispose of all of its current mineral assets to Commander Resources Ltd. Completion of the Commander Transaction remains subject to regulatory approval. The Company is also continuing to evaluate other opportunities and intends to provide an update to its shareholders in the near future.

Jorge A. Ganoza, President and CEO, commented, “Our 2015 operational and financial results reflect Fortuna’s capacity to perform soundly in a challenging metal price environment. Adjusting for a $25.0 million impairment at our Caylloma Mine, the company delivered $6.7 million of adjusted net income.” Mr. Ganoza continued, “San Jose exceeded its silver and gold production guidance while Caylloma successfully shifted mining to high grade polymetallic zones in the Animas Vein, resulting in increased zinc and lead output that helped improve margins.”

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. is pleased to report the completion of the previously announced brokered public offering through Noble International Investments, Inc., doing business as Noble Financial Capital Markets of Boca Raton, Florida as sole placement agent to an institutional investor. Total gross proceeds of US$800,000 were raised through the sale of 800,000 Common Shares at a price of US$1.00 (approximately Canadian $1.325) per Common Share.

Geologix Explorations Inc. is pleased to announce its common shares have been conditionally approved for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange. Geologix has applied to the Toronto Stock Exchange for a voluntary delisting of its common shares since, as a result of the Company’s current share price and lack of exploration activity in 2015, it no longer meets the TSX’s continued listing requirements.
