Marc Prefontaine, President and CEO states, “We are very pleased that such an early-stage drill program successfully intersected mineralization in 8 of the 13 drill holes completed to date, with all drill holes intersecting anomalous mineralization. This maiden drill program marks the first time this extensively altered area has been drill tested.”

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, “Heliostar closed the first quarter of 2025 with a US$27M (C$38M) cash balance, over half of which was generated from operating profits. This places the Company in a strong position to achieve our planned production and resource growth goals.”

Paul D. Gray, Luca VP Exploration, commented, “Luca has been able to execute an efficient underground drilling program at Campo Morado that represents the first stage the Company’s plan to realize the untapped mineral potential of the Campo Morado Mine and District. The Campo Morado deposit hosts additional mineral potential beyond the extent of its known resources.”

Defiance Silver Corp. (Apr 7, 2025) signed a non-binding LOI to acquire Green Earth Metals Inc., adding three drill-permitted Cu-Au-Ag-Mo projects (Victoria, Espiritu, Los Ocotes; 6,795 ha) in Mexico’s Sonora porphyry belt near major mines. Deal: 4.95M shares (C$1.25M) + C$150K debenture. Exploration planned, including drilling at Victoria. Subject to due diligence and approvals.

“With the option agreement signed and all necessary permits already in hand. We are fully prepared to move forward,” said David Coburn, CEO of Masivo Silver. “The drill targets are being carefully defined, being prioritized, and we are mobilizing immediately to begin drilling these high-grade silver zones. This is a significant milestone for the Cerro Colorado Project, and we are excited to start unlocking its full potential.”

Rohan Hazelton, CEO of DynaResource commented, “This metallurgical work is important data for the upcoming SK1300 Technical Report Pre-Feasibility Study that we plan to release in early Q2 2025. I am pleased to see such incredibly high gold recoveries from each of our major gold zones defined to date. Better than 95% gold recovery means our ore is easily processable and this supports our planned re-installation of the gravity gold circuit at San Jose de Gracia.”

Silver Tiger Metals Inc. updated PFS drilling at El Tigre Project, Mexico: 22,000m of 25,000m completed. Key intercepts include 116m @ 0.68 g/t AuEq and 34.4m @ 1.76 g/t AuEq. Mineralization expanded 10-15%; PFS on track for H2 2024.

“The state executive and federal technical meetings continued to provide commitments of strong Mexican Government support for the Santo Tomás Project. Coordinated by Congressional Deputy Mario Zamora and his staff, these meetings have led to a responsive and supportive dialogue with Mexico’s senior economic and mine development officials and we are extremely grateful for the guidance and support. The pathway forward for the continued development of the Santo Tomas Project is now clear,” commented the Oroco Chairman, Craig Dalziel.

The company continued making significant progress on its Terronera Project, which is now in the final construction stages. Wet commissioning is anticipated to begin early in the second quarter.

Ramon Perez, President of the Company, commented “This milestone marks a significant step in the mine’s development, reflecting the operational team’s dedication and the effectiveness of recent optimization efforts.”
