Jonathan George of YQ Gold, Ridgestone’s exploration partner in Mexico, commented “These claims not only significantly bolster our land position at Rebeico but also provide a number of high-priority targets that warrant further investigation and exploration. The grades highlighted by the historical assays are highly encouraging and will be the focus of the upcoming exploration program this fall.”

Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald states, “We continue to be pleased with the drill results at Columba. Step-out drill hole 19-012 intercepted 699 gpt silver over 2.1 meters and 755 gpt silver over 1.75 meters at a depth deeper than any previously known mineralization. In addition, drilling continues to hit multiple high-grade silver intercepts above and below known historic silver veins and to demonstrate excellent lateral and vertical extent along the F vein.”

COO Greg Liller commented “I am very pleased with the success of our recent meetings with local government and community officials and the communal landowners of the Los Reyes project. We came away from these meetings with an overwhelming endorsement by the local community for our planned mine development. I would like to thank the members of the Ejido Tasajera, Sra. Griselda Quintana Garcia and Sr. Leobardo Arredondo Rivas for their support.”

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. We look forward to reporting drill results as the program continues.”

Azure Minerals Managing Director Tony Rovira said: “This has been a very impressive start to our small- scale mining program. To be getting more tonnes and much higher grades than we had expected gives us great confidence in the project as we advance Oposura toward large-scale mining and on-site processing.”

Tawn Albinson, the President of Prospero Silver commented: “We are pleased with the latest set of results from Pachuca SE. Holes 1, 2, 3, 10, & 11 have highlighted interesting precious metal grades over intervals of up to 24.9m downhole, indicating prospective other deeper targets for future drilling, although the strike extent is unknown at the moment. We’ll be discussing the implications of the current results with Fortuna soon.”
