SilverCrest Expands High-Grade Granaditas Vein, Discovers New Vein

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng and CEO, remarked, “With this expansion of the Granaditas Vein and discovery of the Granaditas Dos Vein, we continue to increase our near-surface high-grade footprint in the Las Chispas district. There are several other veins adjacent to the Granaditas reported veins and further drilling may indicate high-grade continuity with additional discoveries to be announced in this area. Conceptually, all high-grade veins discovered to date in the Babicanora and Granaditas areas could have shared underground infrastructure with benefits to mine sequencing and cost savings. It is our intention to include eight veins in the proposed updated resource planned for Q3 2018. The updated resource is to include the new 2018 discoveries of the Granaditas, Babicanora Norte and Luigi veins as well as expansions to the previously defined veins (Babicanora including Area 51, Babicanora FW, Las Chispas, Giovanni including La Blanquita, and William Tell).

Discovery Identifies Multiple High-Grade Chimneys and Mantos at the San Jose Mine, Puerto Rico Project

Taj Singh, P.Eng, President & CEO, states, “Puerto Rico is really coming into focus, with two of the three historic mines now completely mapped and sampled. These new results from San Jose continue to highlight the very strong and consistent grades at the Project. The sampling program of the third historic mine, the Puerto Rico mine, has just wrapped up and we are awaiting assay results. The focus will now shift to drill-planning and prioritizing targets for drilling in 2H18. We are also finalizing plans for an airborne magnetic survey at the Project which will aid in drill-targeting and will also help to identify high-potential regional targets surrounding the historic mines’ area.”

Azure Minerals Ltd. – Drilling Restarts at Oposura

Commenting on the drilling starting, Azure Minerals’ Managing Director, Mr Tony Rovira said: “Since acquiring Oposura only 12 months ago, we have advanced the project very efficiently and productively and the Scoping Study / Preliminary Economic Assessment is nearing completion.”

Kootenay Silver Reports 0.47 gpt Gold over 222.0 Meters from Rock Sampling Program at Cervantes Gold Project, Sonora Mexico

Rock chip-channel sampling conducted by Aztec returned 0.47 gpt gold over 222.0 meters from Line B taken along drill roads at the California porphyry gold-copper prospect. Highlights of the program also include sample results from five of the seven sample lines that confirm highly anomalous soil sample results and extensive porphyry-type gold mineralization intersected in the Phase 1 drill program.

Four Au/Ag Mineralized Trends Discovered on the La Tuna Property

Jim Culver, CEO of VVC, said, “We are particularly excited by the results of the third phase of exploration especially the recognition of four mineralized trends of gold/silver mineralization and that there is no evidence of modern exploration, including drilling, in the area of the artisanal adits and pits that define the trends. The sampling, both of rocks and soils, in a very small portion of the Property, gives high grade gold/silver values at surface. The next step is evaluation of the entire Property to discover and define the mineralized zones and their geological and structural setting, to be followed by a trenching / drilling program.”
