Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “We are delighted to have closed the transaction and to be working with our dedicated Mexican team to progress these former mine areas with modern exploration and drilling. The recent success by companies like SilverCrest Metals, Premier Gold Mines, First Majestic, Agnico Eagle and others surrounding our project demonstrates the excellent potential for new discoveries in the district.”

We are very grateful to the constructive feedback we have received from local stakeholders, independent consultants and engineers, civil society organisations and individuals further afield that have improved the Ixtaca project over the past number of years. Our stakeholder engagement has focussed not only on supporters but has opened its doors to those known to have concerns. Our monthly technical sessions are open to all, have provided a safe environment for discussion and have made available experts in all aspects of the mining process. Our sponsorship of trips to operating mines elsewhere in Mexico have provided nearly 500 local stakeholders first-hand experience of the realities of mining.

“We are pleased to identify a new, large, and exciting resistivity anomaly at Cinco Senores,” stated Philip O’Neill, CEO and Director of Mexican Gold. “With our strong and improved financial position, we look forward to drilling the highly-prospective Cinco Senores target in the very near future.”

CEO John Lawrence said “As a result of lower antimony prices and increasing prices for gold and silver, USAC will prioritize precious metals. The Company is now very close to the start-up, testing and shake down of the Los Juarez gold and silver leach at the Puerto Blanco mill. The Company continues to take steps to reduce its costs of producing antimony products in response to the lower global sale prices.”

Argonaut Gold Inc. is pleased to announce it has completed the fourth water well at its San Agustin operation and that the new well has demonstrated sufficient water capacity to meet the needs of the operation to run at 30,000 tonnes per day of ore. The Company anticipates ramping up to 30,000 tonnes per day at the San Agustin mine during the fourth quarter of 2019.
