Azucar Minerals Provides Drilling Update for El Cobre Project, Mexico

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Azucar commented, “With the completion of the Newcrest private placement and related corporate spinout earlier this year, the El Cobre project is now, for the first time, going to benefit from comprehensive, well funded drill programs. Drilling in 2016 and 2017 confirmed four high quality targets across a five kilometer strike. At one of these targets, Norte, the objective of current drilling is to define the higher grade mineralized area in order to be able to define a resource….”

Torex Reports Continued Exploration Success In The Sub-Sill Zone

Fred Stanford, Preident and CEO of Torex stated: “Today’s results confirm the potential to expand resources in the Sub-Sill Zone. The drilling program continues to discover new skarn zones and the deposit remains open in both down-dip and down-plunge directions.Down-dip is expected to be the higher priority for near term programs with a purpose of adding to reserves.”

Aloro Mobilizes Drill Rig to the Los Venados Project

ALORO MINING CORP. is pleased to announce that it has mobilized a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill rig to the Los Venados Project. The RC drill rig was expedited from Hermosillo, Sonora to Mulatos, Sonora this morning and will arrive later today.

Kootenay Options High-Grade Columba Silver Project in Mexico

Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald states, “Columba is a very rare opportunity to get into a property with the potential for the discovery of classic high-grade Mexican style vein deposits. These opportunities only arise from the combination of depressed markets for silver and the success of our generative program to identify prospects. As we have seen in recent months high-grade discoveries have added a lot of value to market cap to a handful of juniors. Based on our sampling and historic reports we believe that Columba has potential for such a discovery. We are very excited to get to work on rapidly advancing the Property to drilling hopefully by the first quarter of next year.”

Mexus Gold US – Drilling has commenced at Santa Elena mine

Mexus Gold US announced that drilling at the Santa Elena mine located in Caborca, Sonora State, Mexico commenced November 18th. The company spent the last few weeks prepping the drill pads and preparing for arrival of the drilling rigs. Initial drilling is focused on the Julio II mineralized area.

This is the beginning of Mexus’ combination confirmation/exploration drilling program with a heavy emphasis on exploration.

Riverside Develops Four New Target Zones At The Cecilia Gold Project, Sonora, Mexico

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “Riverside has continued working on the Cecilia Project following-up on its initial soil and channel sampling programs further refining the targets on the concession. The recent program has defined several epithermal targets that show significant strike length and need to be drilled. The Cecilia 1 concession expands Riverside’s exploration footprint over a much larger area (58 km2). The fieldwork to date demonstrates the robust nature of the Cecilia Project showing large mineralized structures over significant strike lengths.”

Minera Alamos Defines Significant Surface Exposure Surrounding New Divisadero Porphyry Discovery Hole — 95.7 Metres of 1.47 G/T Gold Equivalent — at the Santana Project, Sonora, Mexico

“Following the initial drill hole discovery of the new Divisadero porphyry system, our exploration team began the process of mapping and sampling the available surface exposure around this exciting new target. With over half the surface rock samples returning greater than 0.1 g/t gold, we have confirmed the potential of the new system and have successfully followed the known extents of the Divisadero mineralization for a distance of at least 300 m before it recedes under overburden. With this new information we look forward to further defining the target in our upcoming Phase 2 drill program. As a result of this year’s exploration, there are now five known areas of “Nicho-style” intrusion related gold mineralization identified at the Santana project site including the newly identified Zata and Divisadero zones. We are confident that as we expand our geological efforts more discoveries will be made.” stated Darren Koningen, CEO of Minera Alamos.
