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.”

In Mexico, the company said an induced polarisation magnetic survey was underway at the Donovan 2 copper-gold project and an underground sampling program was being finalised for its San Celso silver project.

Chesapeake Gold Corp. is pleased to announce an option to acquire a 100% interest in the El Duraznito gold-silver project located near the town of Tayoltita in Durango State, Mexico.

Almaden believes that the Amparo is not related to any genuine Ejido concern regarding its surface rights and lands. Instead, the Amparo is a broader legal challenge by foreign-funded anti-development NGOs against Mexico’s mineral title regime using Almaden’s mining concessions as a test case.

Thomas Atkins, President and CEO of Mammoth commented on activities at Tenoriba, stating: “Mammoth believes it’s a significant vote of confidence on the mineral potential at Tenoriba that Centerra, with its experience in geological systems similar to those which host gold at Tenoriba, has elected to continue with the Tenoriba option in 2020.”
