Bacanora Lithium – Sonora Operational Update

Bacanora remains on schedule to commence initial site works at Sonora in H1 2021, subject to completion of financing, which would enable commencement of production at the plant in 2023. This timeframe coincides well with the anticipated increase in lithium demand from European, Asian and US electric vehicle manufacturers expected that year.

“The DCIP survey represents an important step in the Company’s previously announced program of environmental studies, phased surface exploration, deep 3D geophysical surveys, and diamond drilling that aims to verify and build upon an updated geological model and a substantial body of historical drilling, mineral resource estimates, and Pre-Feasibility studies,” said Craig Dalziel, Oroco’s CEO.

Silver Tiger Provides Exploration Update for its El Tigre Property in Sonora, Mexico

Silver Tiger CEO, Glenn Jessome states, “I am proud of our team on the ground in Mexico who have worked so hard since returning to El Tigre in June to implement strict Covid 19 protocols so that we have been able to safely resume drilling. The $11 million we raised from institutional investors in July gives us a runway to drill the next 25,000 meters at El Tigre. The team is excited to have the initial two drills turning so we can follow up on our high grade silver discovery holes drilled in the Caleigh and Protectora veins.”

Capstone Cozamin Mine to Average 61.4 MIbs Cu and 1.75 Mozs Ag Annually for 2021-2023; Pillar Extraction Pre-Feasibility Study Underway

Brad Mercer, Capstone’s SVP Exploration and Operations said, “We decided to take a two-phase approach and release the Mineral Reserves ahead of our 2021 budgeting cycle, allowing us to greenlight key projects by year-end. The second phase of this work, targeted for completion in Q4 2020, will focus on opportunities we have identified, such as the feasibility of high-grade pillar extraction using paste backfill, updating the block model with ongoing exploration results and ongoing metallurgical and geotechnical work on Vein 10 not in Reserve.”

Azucar Updates on Intended Resumption of Activities at the El Cobre Project, Mexico

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Azucar commented, “We continue to push on with our comprehensive two year intensive drill program at the El Cobre project. The drill program has identified multiple zones of porphyry mineralisation within a large area of hydrothermal alteration. The footprint of the system is very large and future work will be focused on searching for the core feeder zones of this large system.”

Redstar Gold’s Cumaro Project is a Key Part of SilverCrest Metals’ New El Picacho District in Mexico

Redstar CEO, Charles Funk, commented “Having SilverCrest as our neighbour on three sides in the El Picacho district indicates the potential of Redstar’s 100% owned Cumaro project. Cumaro has the south-eastern extensions of the veins from the El Picacho property with drilling right up to the Cumaro boundary. Redstar will be actively exploring Cumaro later in 2020, once the Company has completed the three-drill rig exploration program we recently initiated at Unga in Alaska.”
