J.D. Poliquin, chairman of Almaden stated, “These results again show the potential of the Ixtaca gold silver deposit to grow. As I have stated before, while Ixtaca is a prominent new discovery of gold and silver reserves, we are clearly only at the beginning of the discovery cycle at this project. We have a two-pronged approach. On the one hand we are focussed on developing the Ixtaca deposit into a significant precious metals producer in Mexico, and engineering work and studies on a Feasibility Study are progressing well. At the same time we have in front of us the opportunity for additional discovery and resource growth. We are at the top of a fully preserved epithermal system and over the next several months exploration drilling will also test for additional vein zones beneath alteration elsewhere on the project.”

Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. reports that the Company has recommenced operations at its Veta Grande mill located in Veta Grande, Zacatecas Mexico following authorization from PROFEPA and SEMARNAT (Mexico’s environmental regulatory authorities) to do so.

Thomas Atkins, President and CEO of Mammoth commented on the imminent commencement of drilling, stating: “We should begin our first drill hole shortly and although I doubt we’ll finish the entire program before year end, whatever portion continues into the new year there should be a steady supply of drill results flowing beginning in January and continuing for a number of weeks into 2018.”

“This project is synergistic with Starcore’s goals and presents us with a tremendous opportunity,” said Robert Eadie, President & CEO of the Company. “Not only do we have a huge concession area for expansive exploration, but the project also comes with various permits already in place, including an explosives permit and an environmental impact survey permit. The power line is already installed; social footholds have been initiated in the communities; and the project positions Starcore in another Mexican mining district with great potential for gold and silver. We’re excited!”

“Santo Domingo was first discovered in the 16th century and although there have been several periods of small-scale mining over the last 400 years, little modern exploration was ever carried out on the Property,” said Mirsad Jakubovic, CEO of Stroud, “We have now defined a significant silver deposit and believe we have merely scratched the surface. The strike length of the La Raya and Guadalupe zones have been drilled to a depth of approximately 150 metres, leaving considerable room to expand by drilling. With the technical sophistication available today, the opportunity exists to more sensitively and expertly extract these resources with the least amount of disruption and cost. The sites proximity to Guadalajara provides excellent access to roads and facilities, with power and water supply on-site.”
