Colibri Resource Corporation is pleased to announce that it has received additional assays from its geological mapping and sampling program on the Evelyn property, in northern Sonora, Mexico . Results from grab samples include values of 4.81 g/t Au and 4.19 grams per tonne Au from an area not previously mapped or sampled.
‘We are proud of the high degree of skill and leadership demonstrated by our Hermosillo, Mexico-based technical team under the direction of VP Exploration, Mel Herdrick and Operations Manager, Jorge Diaz,’ said Kenneth MacLeod, President and CEO of Sonoro. ‘The launching of metallurgical testing and preliminary pilot-plant design in conjunction with the ongoing drilling program, will ensure that all the elements needed to create a successful project are being managed simultaneously.’
CEO John Lawrence said ‘USAC is expanding production of antimony to shield some of the U.S. antimony market from any retaliatory Chinese rare earth policies. The Company will soon have three LRF furnaces in place. In addition, USAC is preparing to begin pilot production of its gold, silver, and antimony project at Los Juarez which will further augment its strong existing supplies of antimony in North America and will launch the Company into precious metals production.’
Monarca’s President and CEO, Carlos Espinosa, stated: ‘We are very excited about the San Jose Project. The work on the project to date indicates that it has significant potential and we were able to obtain the right to acquire 100% of the project on terms that are very favourable for Monarca. This project could mark the new era of Monarca Minerals.’
‘The leaching process has started and will continue on a permanent basis as fresh ore will be added to the heap leach pad. Moving forward, Mexus will increase the scale and capacity of the system to maximize returns,’ added Mexus CEO Paul Thompson.
Taj Singh, President and Chief Executive Officer of Discovery, states: ‘We are excited to be combining our highly experienced Mexican exploration teams to advance the combined portfolio of properties. The new Discovery will have several district-scale land packages in Coahuila and Chihuahua that offer compelling exploration potential. The new Discovery will also benefit by adding the Cordero Project, a development stage project with potential to be optimized for the current metals price environment.’
‘We are excited to commence our next round of drilling that will test both new veins and potential high-grade structures at the San Acacio project’ stated Peter J. Hawley, Interim President and CEO. ‘The results from our exploratory ground geophysical surveys identified strong co-incident anomalies on trend with the San Acacio deposit.We believe that due to the size and robustness of these targets, both represent potential game-changers for the project.’
Brad Langille, President and CEO, states ‘we are very pleased to see the results from our geological mapping, sampling and trenching program has defined at least 5 new targets, where we are currently mobilizing an additional drilling rig, along strike to the south of the former Cinco Minas El Abra underground mine. The largest zone is known as Cerro Colorado and extends for a strike length of 500m. With these widths and grades at surface, we feel there is an excellent chance to discover new high-grade deposits along the Los Ricos vein system that have not been previously mined. Based on our trenching and mapping to date, the limited historical drilling in this area may have missed the mineralized zone which we have identified.’
Bradford Cooke, CEO, stated, Our goal in implementing these actions is to make our mining operations more efficient so they can return to profitability quickly and permanently. Reducing the operating costs and work force combined with investing in new mining equipment and retraining are keys to making our mines more sustainable even at low metal prices.
‘With almost 90% of the 10,000-meter drill program completed, we are pleased to report that the objectives of the technical program at Cerro Caliche have been accomplished,’ said Kenneth MacLeod, President and CEO. ‘Most critically, the program continues to outline shallow low-grade bulk tonnage gold mineralized zones with gold grades and intervals similar to operating heap leach mines in the region.’
