The Board of Directors of Ethos Gold Corp. today announces, with great sadness, the sudden death of its founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, Gary Freeman.

Jose Garcia, CEO of AIVN, stated, “We are thrilled to announce that American International Ventures, Inc. has the exclusivity to promote and negotiate for the sale of the Solidaridad Project to any mining company. Also, we are contacting mining companies that may be interested in a joint venture with AIVN in developing the project.”

Oposura East Zone Resource Drilling Completed. Rock-chips up to 8.3% lead and 2.3% zinc discovered outside of the resource area indicate further upside potential to the north

Consolidated Zinc Limited is pleased to provide an update of the latest extensional and infill resource definition drilling campaign that recommenced on 27 November, 2017 at Plomosas mine in Mexico.

Antonio Berlanga, CEO of Telson, states “We are thrilled to have realized the first successful US $4.8 million sales of lead and zinc concentrates produced during our 2017 initial startup testing phase of the Campo Morado mineral processing facility as we work through the mill recommissioning process. Considering we only completed the acquisition of the Campo Morado mine in June 2017, we believe our mining and mineral processing teams have done an exceptional job in recommissioning and tuning up the mill and related facilities. The startup process has proceeded exactly as we envisioned and we appreciate the support of the local communities and governments in this effort…”

“Our strategy of investing in exploration continues to add value, with considerable exploration success this year, including the record silver, gold and lead reserves announced last week,” said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., President and CEO. “This past quarter was no different than the full year. We continue to expand the polymetallic mineralization at San Sebastian, so much so that we expect to take a bulk sample this year. At Casa Berardi, our exploration continues to confirm the high expectations we had when we acquired it, with expansions of planned pits and discovery of new open pitable material as well as new high-grade lenses underground. Finally, drilling at Greens Creek discovered high-grade mineralization in the central part of the mine that could enhance Greens Creek’s already exceptional mine economics and mine life.”

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, “We are very excited to report these final assays from the very successful 2017 drill program. In 2017 we stepped out roughly 2 kilometers to the south of the Norte Zone and hit significant mineralisation in first pass drilling in the northern part of the large Villa Rica Zone. We believe that the results from Raya Tembrillo are proof of large scale porphyry potential in this part of the project. The drill results from 2016 and 2017 clearly show that we are dealing with a large cluster of porphyry systems all of which hold the potential to be important porphyry copper-gold deposits. We are currently defining a large 2018 drill program and look forward to reporting that shortly.”

Jim Culver, CEO of VVC said, “We at VVC are excited by the results of the first 2 phases of this Samalayuca drilling program. This drilling program has provided us with a wealth of data, most of it very encouraging. The results are by necessity – technical, detailed and voluminous. I would encourage readers of this news release, particularly those who have a technical interest, to go to the VVC website where the drilling data and associated information is presented.

“These results confirm continuity of high grade mineralization along trend at San Javier. We are very pleased with the higher gold numbers found at the Lydia zone which has been sampled over a 10 metre section on surface. Internal to this section, there appears to be 6 metres evidencing substantially higher gold and silver grades. As first identified in our drill program during 2017, the defining characteristic of our San Javier property appears to be the higher relative grades.” stated Hub Mockler, Executive Chairman.

“The El Pinguico mine is a historic high-grade producer, possessing in-situ high-grade silver and gold mineralization with accessible mining infrastructure to a depth of 300 meters. The completion of a base case development scenario will be a significant milestone in understanding the available economics of the stockpiles and cost related in new mine development”, said Cameron King, President and CEO of Vangold.
