Evrim’s President and CEO, Paddy Nicol, commented, “Sarape is located in an emerging epithermal gold belt hosting several mines and deposits, including Premier Gold’s Mercedes Mine, First Majestic Silver’s Santa Elena Mine, and SilverCrest’s Las Chispas deposit. Evrim’s Ermitaño project, under option to First Majestic Silver, is also in the belt where a maiden inferred resource of 40.8 million ounces silver equivalent* (562,000 ounces gold equivalent) was recently announced (see First Majestic Silver news release of March 29, 2018). We look forward to working with Coeur’s team on Sarape and will commence exploration in late June.”

“We have all the necessary equipment and chemicals on site to begin leaching when tests are complete. The results of our first leach will give us a base line going forward as we work to improve recovery rates. This first test will produce gold and silver and will be the beginning of positive cash flow.” added Mexus CEO Paul Thompson.

Las negociaciones continuarán durante la siguiente semana y, las partes muestran disposición en encontrar salidas viables

Colibri Resource Corporation wishes to announce that it has completed drilling of the final 900m of its 3,000m Phase 1 drilling program at its Pilar Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico. Samples from the final 7 drill holes and 2 drill hole extensions have been collected and delivered to ALS Chemex laboratories in Hermosillo, Mexico for assay preparation and subsequently the Atomic Absorption and Fire Assay analysis will be completed in Vancouver, Canada. Assay results will be released as they become available.

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Azucar commented, “We are very excited to commence what we anticipate being a comprehensive two year intensive drill program at the El Cobre project. The results over the past two years have shown the potential for multiple porphyry centres over a four kilometre strike. We look forward to reporting drill results as we move forward.”

Dr. Peter Megaw, MAG’s Chief Exploration Officer commented, “With the Zacatecas Silver District consolidating, MAG was approached by a number of companies looking to acquire its holdings in the camp. MAG chose to partner with Defiance because of our long-held interest in the exploration potential of the Veta Grande Vein, the second most important vein in the billion-ounce Zacatecas silver district. A number of high-grade ore-shoots have been found along its length and the ability to expand exploration to a continuous 5.6 km stretch of this historically under-explored vein greatly enhances the potential for discovering more. This strategic interest in Defiance provides MAG with exposure to the upside of future discoveries as their exploration of this important vein advances.”

As part of the ongoing exploration follow-up, beginning 2017, a reconnaissance program of sampling, mapping and assaying was conducted within the property. The large area of these mineralized and partially brecciated showings define a rhyodacitic volcanic dome that is associated with high sulphidation style alteration have been confirmed to have anomalous gold, bismuth and molybdenum in rock. Several felsic dome/ silica breccia complexes have been located throughout the property.

“La mejor manera de llegar a ser más competitivos es trabajando en la mejora del recurso humano, que es lo más importante al interior de las empresas mineras”, apuntó Lomelín Guillen.

“Definitivamente, como lo manifestamos en su momento, no estamos de acuerdo con el impuesto ecológico, así lo manifestamos al Congreso del estado y al gobierno del estado. Ese proceso está en instancias judiciales, tenemos una impugnación del gobierno federal y será el tribunal de justicia quien resuelva”, dijo Octavio Alvídrez Ortega, director general de la empresa Fresnillo plc, en mayo pasado.

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng and CEO, remarked, “With this confirmed discovery of continuous high-grade mineralization in the Granaditas Vein, we continue to increase our near-surface high-grade footprint in the district. In early 2017, the Company received from a local rancher a historic map showing the location of the Granaditas Mine that was operated by the Spanish in the early 1800’s. Up until receipt of the map, the location of the mine was unknown and documented as a lost Spanish mine. Historic reports show that approximately 3 million ounces of silver were mined from the Granaditas Vein to a depth of 90 feet where water was encountered. SilverCrest drilled below this depth and intercepted high-grade mineralization using the same geologic controls as other high-grade veins in the district. It is our intention to further drill test the Granaditas, Babicanora Norte, Babicanora, Babi Sur, Luigi and other veins during the next couple of months and include the results in the proposed updated resource planned for Q3 2018.”
