N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, “We are looking forward to safely resuming operations at Las Chispas later this month in a staged approach with safety and caution in mind. The Babi Vista Vein continues to add value to Las Chispas as we in-fill drill for resource conversion and expansion of additional high-grade silver-gold mineralization.”

Cerca de 82% del valor de la producción minera nacional se ubica en municipios catalogados por la Secretaría de Salud con casos de contagio de Covid-19 nulos, bajos o muy bajos.

“Con esta acción, Fresnillo plc contribuye a que las familias cuenten con una alimentación saludable. La empresa continuará trabajando en acciones que favorezcan el bienestar y la salud de la población en colaboración con las autoridades municipales”, manifestó el el Lic. Alfredo Rojas, Superintendente de Relaciones Industriales de San Julián.

Taj Singh, President and CEO, states: “These drill results continue to illustrate the strongly mineralized footprint at Cordero. Hole C20-319, the furthest north-east hole drilled by Discovery for which assays have been received, intercepted 168.8 m of 207 g/t AgEq1 (70 g/t Ag, 0.10 g/t Au, 1.5% Pb and 1.9% Zn). Hole C20-317, the Company’s furthest south-west hole drilled to date, intercepted 79.0 m of 159 AgEq1 g/t (90 g/t Ag, 0.22 g/t Au, 0.9% Pb and 0.5% Zn). In total there is approximately 1,250 m of strike extent between these two holes. This not only demonstrates the sheer scale of the mineralized system but the broad widths and excellent grades near-surface also highlight the high-margin potential that exists at Cordero.”

GR Silver Mining President and CEO, Marcio Fonseca, commented, “During the current global COVID-19 crisis, the health and safety of our team is top priority. The Company has implemented measures to adhere to government-imposed restrictions. Meanwhile, our project team from the local area has been able to progress some aspects of our exploration program using strict safety protocols. The recent purchase of our own surface drill rig allows us flexibility to advance the drill program at San Marcial with our own professionally trained local crew, in isolation in the field camp.”

Daniel Earle, President & CEO, commented, “We are deeply sorry to have learned of David’s passing and extend our thoughts and prayers to his family and everyone touched by this extraordinary person. David was the ‘World’s Best Mine Finder,’ discovering 17 major minerals deposits over a 50-year career. Our flagship project, Warintza, was a discovery he made while exploring in southeast Ecuador in the early 2000s, and our pipeline of grassroots exploration projects were his targets for future discoveries.”

Outcropping mineralization is only exposed in a small creek from which the historic mining developed. Potential extensions of mineralization are largely covered by overlying ignimbrite volcanics.

Esta nueva unidad minera, construida con tecnología de punta, cuenta con una capacidad de molienda y procesamiento de 4,500 toneladas diarias de mineral, para producir un promedio anual de 4.7 millones de onzas de plata, 40,000 toneladas de zinc, 8,600 toneladas de plomo y 7,000 de cobre, contenidos en concentrados de plomo, zinc y cobre.
