“The 14m intercept in drillhole M-DDH-18-08 represents our widest intersection to date with consistent average grades in excess of 400 grams per tonne silver equivalent”, commented Ruben Padilla, VP Exploration of Sable Resources. “We are also greatly encouraged by gold values in these holes up to 3g/t coincident with high base metal values with zinc to 4.5% and lead to 2.4%. Sable now has five holes into the Margarita structure with a weighted average grade of 420g/t AgEq over an average width of 8.6m, and a confirmed strike length of 500m down to 80m depth from surface.”

“Drilled resources at El Dorado appear to represent a readily available source of feed for our SDA Mill,” said Pierce Carson, Magellan’s CEO. “If confirmed these resources could supply ore to the mill for approximately five years at a mining rate of 100 tonnes per day. In addition, the geology is prospective for extensions of mineralization and for new discoveries. Acquisition of El Dorado is a key step in our strategy of initiating and then increasing production through the mill,” Carson continued. “To achieve these objectives, we are considering all financing options, including joint development with a suitable partner.”

San Marco Resources Inc. announces it has agreed to buy a data package and drill core on its Espiritu SMR Property from Kootenay Silver Inc. As payment for the data, San Marco will issue, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, 200,000 common shares to Kootenay.

Se llevó a cabo la graduación de 15 alumnos de la primera generación de la carrera de Ingeniería Metalúrgica del Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) en Zacatecas, la cual se creó a petición del Clúster Minero de Zacatecas (CLUSMIN) de contar con profesionistas especializados en el área; todos ellos, egresaron con oferta laboral de compañías mineras.

Millrock President & CEO Gregory Beischer commented: “Some strong results were obtained in this program from the Crossover and Cobre prospects with anomalous gold over significant core intervals. More drilling will be necessary to determine whether there is continuity between the discrete zones of mineralization intersected.”

San Marco´s CEO Chris Grijalva stated; “We are pleased to have Antofagasta as a partner and look forward to a successful, team approached exploration program on our copper/silver discovery at the Chunibas project. The Project consists of stratiform, volcanic hosted copper-silver mineralization, similar to several ore deposits in northern Chile and is a style of mineralisation not previously discovered in Mexico.”

Commenting on the Papago 17 concession grant, Oroco President Craig Dalziel stated “We are very pleased that we have been able to realize the granting of the Papago 17 concession, which is so important to our land assembly initiatives in the Santo Tomas area. The Papago 17 concession hosts the most likely opportunity to increase the known area of the Santo Tomas mineralization zone, gives Oroco a certain foothold in the overall Santo Tomas project, and provides Oroco with an immediate exploration target while we work to resolve the title issues on the core concessions.”

Jeff Swinoga, President & CEO of First Mining stated, “This transaction unlocks the unrealized value of this prospective but under-explored Mexican gold property. Since First Mining is focusing on advancing the development of its Springpole Gold Project and Goldlund Gold Project, each in northwestern Ontario, entering into this option agreement adds immediate value to our shareholders while at the same time negating any holding costs on this property.”
