Capstone have indicated that they have planned an initial 2,500m drilling program as part of their required $450,000 USD expenditure commitment for 2021. Drill locations will be finalised following interpretation of the IP report, with provisional planning well underway.
The La Esperanza silver-gold-zinc-lead project covers 14,916 hectares, located 100 km SSE of the city of Durango in southern Durango and northern Zacatecas States, Mexico. The project is easily accessible from Canasil’s operating base in Durango with excellent infrastructure. The project is located on the well-recognized world class Fresnillo silver belt, hosting a number of prominent silver mines such as the San Martin-Sabinas mines of Grupo Mexico and Industrias Peñoles, the La Colorada mine of Pan American Silver Corp., Fresnillo PLC’s Fresnillo mine, and the Fresnillo-MAG Silver Corp. Juanicipio mine.
“We are extremely impressed with the exploration results of 2020 from the Evelyn property including the high grades of some of the recent trench sampling. Our plan for 2021 is to capitalize on this momentum and swiftly prepare for a drilling program on the Evelyn Gold Project,” said Ron Goguen, President & CEO of Colibri.
Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “We are pleased to have drill-tested the Santa Rosalia target, which is only the first of four target areas along a 2.5 km mineralized trend. Results have demonstrated a structural complex environment that Riverside’s team is reviewing and using for refining and developing more targets that we look forward to testing in the coming months at Cuarentas.”
Vizsla President and CEO, Michael Konnert, commented: “The first results for 2021 are very encouraging. Tajitos continues to deliver high silver and gold grades and wide widths in areas of historic mining. The Company is expanding the known zones and stepping along strike for new bodies of mineralization in a systematic step-out drilling program that continues into 2021. The Company has commenced drilling for the year with five rigs in operation that continue to expand earlier discoveries and demonstrate the overall potential of the Panuco district.”
“After a short and well-earned break, the exploration team in Mexico has re-mobilised back to Copalquin, resuming exploration work in the district. Exploration activity is initially centred at the Cometa Project area with deeper drilling on the eastern side the large epithermal system discovery at El Refugio plus the expansive soil and mapping program at El Refugio west.”
“The updated Feasibility Study for the Camino Rojo Oxide Project demonstrates an increase in recovered gold, mine life, and cash flows,” stated Jason Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orla. “An already excellent project has been improved due to the hard work of the entire Orla team and I thank them for their efforts.”
Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “Hole AGT-23 is now underway, it has been designed to go underneath the hole where we hit high-grade gold and cut across from west to east the entire corridor of epithermal veins. Initially, it will cut across a key fault which we believe could be the conduit that is the source of the gold and silver mineralization in the corridor of veins.”
Capitan’s CEO, Alberto Orozco, stated: “The current drill program has continued to confirm our thesis that there is excellent potential to expand the size of the known resource at Capitan Hill. Results from the ongoing program continue to show wide intercepts of mineralization coincident with deep zones of oxidation, both down-dip of known gold zones, and also within areas of sparse, historic drilling along strike. We are excited to see that gold and silver mineralization continues to expand and remains open in all directions. This is indicative of how premature the maiden resource was for this project.”
Gary Thompson, President, CEO and Chairman of Gold79, stated,”We are pleased that the Taviche silver project has been placed in strong hands with Fortuna as operator. Significant exploration programs are contemplated; and, if successful, we could see our 20% interest purchased with funding from Fortuna. Gold79 continues to focus on its gold projects in the Southwestern USA.”
