Brian Leeners, chief executive officer of PMR, commented: “We have been financing and developing copper projects in Canada, the USA and Mexico for over 20 years and the opportunity at La Verde is the best I have seen over that time period, as it provides a potentially significant value proposition from the combination of a near-term production opportunity from the skarns and the exciting prospect of a new copper porphyry discovery in one of the world’s most productive copper belts.”

“Trenching is well underway and we look forward to starting drilling in the next few days.”, commented VP Exploration, Brodie Sutherland. “Our trench program at Pilar will assist in guiding future drill programs as well as provide bulk sampling material across our oxide targets for more advanced metallurgical test work scheduled to be completed in the New Year”

The 2021 program is based on angled drill holes oriented perpendicular to the re-modelled strike and dip of the deposit and is the first program that features drill holes that pass from the hanging wall of the North Zone deposit into the footwall and which also features a full suite of assay information that includes copper, molybdenum, gold and silver.

Step-out exploration drilling from underground platforms ahead of production at San Jose has continued to define continuity of key mineralized structures, with 25,064 meters drilled in 59 holes since March 2021, targeting the Bonanza Hanging wall (Bhw), Trinidad Norte and Victoria mineralized zone (VMZ) structures.

Vizsla President and CEO Michael Konnert commented: “As we rapidly approach the deadline for drilling to be incorporated into the maiden Panuco resource estimate, anticipated in Q1 2022, new results from the Napoleon Vein continue to demonstrate the exceptional size and grade of the underlying system.”

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented: “We started getting excited to drill at Cumaro as soon as we made the Verde discovery in September. We increased the size of the program to 5,000 metres, based on the number of targets at our two main areas of focus. The Verde discovery is our highest priority target in Mexico, where we will drill beneath many high-grade channel sample intercepts. We will also test the concept that the eastern half of Cumaro is a down-thrown block.”

Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President, remarks, “Planned definition hole SM20-43 was designed to fill in a drill poor gap in the past resource area. Of interest to note is the lack of or decrease of gold values found in drilling to the east.

“The results from our early operations at the Santana project continue to impress,” stated Darren Koningen, CEO. “Metallurgical extractions have been outstanding to date and despite challenges the build up in gold inventories on the leach pads has exceeded our early expectations.”

James McDonald, President and CEO remarked “The large strike continuity of the veins and mineralization indicate to us Copalito has good potential for the discovery of a large resource. Also impressive are the high gold, lead and zinc grades in numerous holes that add to this potential.”

Dan Dickson, CEO, commented, “We continue to see exceptional drilling results within the El Curso and the Santa Cruz Sur systems at our Guanacevi silver mine. We have been operating at Guanacevi for more than 15 years and these encouraging results support our view that we can continue to extend the mine life.”
