TMC Exploration has been retained to undertake the multiple-task geophysical survey. Work has begun as of March 21. The results will be combined with multiple other distinct surveys.
Phase II drilling has advanced steadily since November 2019 and now totals 24 holes for a cumulative 6,955 metres. At this point, the Company has decided to pause drilling until a time where it feels it is safe and appropriate to resume amid the COVID-19 global pandemic. Drilling activities have ceased, core splitting and sampling of final holes was completed late last week. Drill equipment is being stored on site, awaiting restart order in the coming months. At this time, the Company wishes to recognize the pro-active support and understanding being provided by drilling contractor, Globexplore Drilling Corp. during this pause in work.
GR Silver Mining President and CEO, Marcio Fonseca, commented, “This transaction is in line with our growth strategy and vision of becoming a leading mining company controlling the most important silver-gold assets in the Rosario mining district, Mexico.”
Orex’s President, Gary Cope said “We are very pleased that we have finalized this new joint venture arrangement, which allows Orex and Pan American to continue the advancement of the Sandra-Escobar project, previously initiated in our joint venture with Canasil Resources Inc.”.
Evrim Resources Corp. announces that it has terminated the option agreement with Harvest Gold Corporation on the Cerro Cascaron project in southwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. Evrim and Harvest Gold Corporation completed two seasons of exploration and ten diamond drill holes at Cerro Cascaron. Drilling results included 20.10 grams per tonne gold and 22.5 g/t silver over one metre in drill hole SPT18-01 at the Serpiente Dorada prospect, and 5.39 g/t gold and 23.7 g/t silver over 0.35 metres in SPED19-02 at the San Pedro prospect. These results and extensive areas of gold-silver showings at lower elevations have not been followed up or tested by drilling.
“At San Jose, upgrading through infill drilling proved more challenging, as mining is transitioning from the central Stockwork zone to the Trinidad North area where mineralization tends to be narrower and more variable in nature. As the mineralization style changes, the operation is implementing various initiatives, such as pillar recovery and narrow vein mining methods, to optimize mineral extraction.”
The Company is pleased to announce that it is now fully permitted to continue exploration work, including a drill program, on its 100% owned San Diego silver-zinc project in Durango, Mexico.
Dr. Steven Weiss, chief technical adviser for the Rebeico Project, commented “We’re very optimistic about this maiden drill program at the New Year Zone, especially considering the robust gold values obtained over a substantial area at surface”.
The highlight of progress to date is the development of the El Cuervo target, where wide zones (up to 40m) of silicification, breccias and veining with strong gold and silver rock chip geochemistry is being mapped and sampled 3.8km south east of the current drilled area at San Pedro.
“Drilling continues at Los Ricos with 6 drill rigs as we accelerate the drilling required for our initial resource. At the Los Ricos North Project we continue with the groundwork preparing for an upcoming drill campaign, which we anticipate commencing after the Easter break,” said Brad Langille, President and CEO. “We continue to monitor the COVID-19 developments in Mexico and have implemented additional safety procedures at both Los Ricos and Parral as described in PR#11 dated March 18, 2020.”
