Mexus Gold US is pleased to announce funding has been secured and drilling will start Q4 on the 300 Meter portion of the 2.2km long strike along the Julio Shear Zone. Typical past shear zone assays have shown an average of 4 gr per ton gold and 20 to 30 gr per ton silver with areas of higher grades in the underground workings on the 30 Meter level of the Julio quartz vein showing Bonanza grade gold.

Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald states, “In this classic low sulfidation vein system it is very encouraging to see chip results returning 1,700 gpt, 1,030 gpt, 1,155 gpt silver with gold up to 1.2 gpt. These grades indicate potential for discovery of truly high-grade ore shoots. It is also positive that sampling is returning consistently anomalous silver and gold. The next stage of work will consist of continued mapping and detailed chip and panel sampling across the veins once the rainy season ends.”

Silver Viper’s President and CEO Steve Cope states, “The slow start to Phase I drilling has required patience. We are now extremely happy to be underway. The project has great potential and we look forward to advancing the exploration effort to include additional areas of interest in the claim areas.”

Radius Gold Inc. is pleased to announce that two drill rigs have arrived at the Amalia property and drilling has commenced at Radius’s high-grade gold-silver Amalia Project located in Chihuahua, Mexico. The drill program is operated by Radius and funded by Pan American Silver, under a joint venture agreement. Radius plans to drill test several high-grade gold and silver epithermal targets at Amalia in the coming months.

Southern Silver Exploration Corp. reported today that additional metallurgical test work on the Skarn Front deposit from the Cerro Las Minitas Project has resulted in both the successful separation of a potential “saleable grade” copper concentrate as well as the generation of a cleaner zinc concentrate grading above 50% zinc without sacrificing zinc, lead or silver recoveries.?

Luis Castro, Vice President, Exploration for Endeavour Silver, commented, “These infill drill results helped us meet our goal this year to increase our measured and indicated resources. The high silver and gold grades, excellent continuity of mineralization and significant exploration upside to expand the resources reinforce our view that Terronera has the potential to become the next key asset for the Company.”

Mr. Barry Devlin, Vice President of Exploration, commented, “Our 2018 drill campaign at Alta Gracia was a success on many fronts, particularly the discovery of a wide, high-grade zone within the Independencia vein system and the potential expansion to the Mirador Mine. “

“Underground drilling at Platosa continues to deliver great results,” stated Ben Pullinger, Senior Vice President Geology. “We are especially encouraged by the elevated gold values and significant widths encountered in the drilling at the 623 Manto in EX18UG434 and 435, which exceeded our expectations and are worthy of follow-up.”
