“This transaction sees the potential for considerable expenditure to be invested into Donovan 2 over the next few years as the project progresses through to feasibility studies.”

“This first production from Juanicipio is a major milestone for the Company” said George Paspalas, MAG Silver’s President and CEO. “The successful processing of development material not only provides cash flow to offset capex, but further de-risks the project as it heads toward commercial production. We are looking forward to the first production stope coming online in Q4 2020, and our potential to continue to produce cash whilst we complete the process plant construction.”

“Intercepting the San Agustín vein close to where we anticipated it would be, both assists in confirming our understanding of the continuity of the vein at depth and its geometry”, said Michelle Robinson, Brigadier’s qualified technical person. “In addition, the use of a diamond drill with relatively large core size will yield previously unknown details of the geology and structure of the four different veins systems set to be tested during this drill campaign. These are very early impressions and much work is still to be done, but we are highly optimistic about the potential at Picachos.”

Luis Marchese, CEO of Sierra Metals commented: “I am very encouraged by the results of this PEA which support the Company’s organic growth strategy and plan to profitably develop and grow the Bolivar Mine production rate to 10,000 TPD in 2024 from today’s capacity of 5,000 TPD, based on current analyst consensus metal price estimates.”

“Hicimos una evaluación para seleccionar a nuestros mejores elementos y los llevamos a un entrenamiento de capacitación y especialización en protección de instalaciones mineras; por lo que hoy se lleva a cabo la instalación de 120 policías del Servicio de Protección Federal especializados en este sector.”

Radius Gold Inc. is pleased announce that it has acquired the right to purchase the 500 hectare Don Jose property that surrounds Radius’s Plata Verde silver project located in Chihuahua, Mexico. The Company is also pleased to report that local land owners have constructed a new access road that reaches the Project, enabling year round access by 4×4 trucks and facilitating exploration and future drilling programs.

Orex’s President, Gary Cope said “The two claim packages comprising the Sandra project would be best explored as a single property. We are extremely happy to be working with the Pan American Silver team and are very pleased with the faith they have shown in our group by entrusting us with day-to-day operation of the exploration effort”.

The company is stock piling quartz mineralized material with an average grade of 4.2 GPT Au which is ready to be crushed and placed on the pad. Recovery of gold from the new heap leach pad is expected by December 1st, 2020.

“In just a few short months since the Cerro de Oro acquisition we have rapidly advanced the project on a number of parallel fronts. All indications to date support our belief that the deposit is an ideal project for the design and development of another low capital intensity heap-leach operation to expand the Company’s future growth potential” stated Darren Koningen, CEO.

Greg McKenzie, President and CEO commented, “We are excited to commence exploration on the Company’s 100% owned San Diego Project, host to one of Mexico’s largest undeveloped silver deposits and a prime candidate for resource expansion. San Diego is located in a highly prospective geologic setting, approximately 2 kilometres northeast of the Peñoles El Cobre Project, which has nearly 100 drill pads and recently moved into the engineering phase with optimization studies underway.”

“Silver Spruce is excited to add another large grassroots exploration property in a very productive, mining-friendly region only two kilometres from our El Mezquite property, adjacent to Minera Alamos’ Santana project, and closer to their Nicho deposit currently under construction for gold production. We expect to have the geological teams working on the Jackie property in mid-October,” said Greg Davison, Silver Spruce VP Exploration.

Matthew O’Kane, Managing Director of Comet Resources, said, “Interminco’s experienced team is now mobilising to Ensenada, which will be Comet’s in-country base of operations in Mexico. Ensenada is only 100Km from the project site by mainly sealed national highways. Interminco’s experience in Mexico will be invaluable in getting Santa Teresa exploration underway quickly and efficiently.”

“Our latest results continue to manifest significant silver over-assay percentages with magnetite association, but now also have elevated gold and copper detections. This is consistent with the IOCG deposit model originally postulated for San Javier by Dr. Hitzman in 2006. We provide a link to Dr. Hitzman’s full report on our website and are now refining our exploration focus to target this deposit type on Company claims.”

The 1750-hectare Property hosts 3 past producing silver-gold deposits, El Moro, La Virginia and La Zorra (MVZ Property). The Property is situated within Grupo Minero Diflor’s Pajarito Project which covers a 10 X 25 km, fault-bounded exposure of older sediments and intrusives surrounded by voluminous younger post-mineral rhyolites.

“We are very pleased by these high-grade silver results from the Promontorio Vein, historically the second largest producer at Alamos. These results confirm that mining stopped in mineralization and that it continues to depth,” stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO of Minaurum.

Comet Managing Director, Matthew O’Kane, commented “The initial JORC compliant Resource is the first step for Comet in moving forward with Santa Teresa. Through this process we have increased our understanding of the mineralisation. It is also interesting to see the sensitivity of the resource to different top cap grades. With the Resource being open at depth and along strike, I am confident that we can extend mineralisation with the upcoming drilling.”

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “We are pleased to be working with Hochschild Mining’s fine exploration staff, as together we are refining and detailing excellent drill targets. We are particularly pleased that our sampling programs have demonstrated the link between the Santa Rosalia Mine and Santa Rosalia Sur targets. We have worked safely and effectively through COVID-19 and our in-country Mexico team now has the field camp set up with all operational capabilities to commence drilling this fall.”

“Receiving the permit extension is welcome evidence that the permitting process is fully functional despite earlier slow-downs stemming from the Covid-19 crisis,” said Dr. Craig Gibson, Prismo Metals President and CEO. “The combined extensions will let our drilling program follow the geology, not the clock as we seek to follow the high-grade mineralization encountered earlier into untested ground at depth.”

“This latest round of sampling underscores our thesis that Picachos may host a district scale mineralized system not unlike those discovered approximately 15 miles to the north and south of us.”
