Luis Castro, Vice President of Exploration for Endeavour Silver, commented, “Our discovery of potential bulk tonnage silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization in the Palmilla mine area, that may be amenable to open pit mining, is an exciting new development for the Parral district in general and our property in particular. It gives us a second mineralized area with resource potential to complement the Veta Colorada area where we have already verified a portion of the historic high grade silver resource (see news release dated October 24, 2017). Drilling continues on the Parral property in a third mineralized area known as the San Patricio vein which lies to the north of Palmilla. A new resource estimate for the Parral property will be prepared at year-end for release in the 1st quarter of 2018.”

Tim Barry, President, CEO and director of Silver Bull states, “The results from this batch of drilling in the sulphide zone are exceptional. The consistent high grade silver-copper mineralization we see in this particular area is hosted along a steeply dipping fault and remains open down dip and in the east and west directions. From what we now know, it has also become apparent that this zone is severely underrepresented in historic drilling as the historic surface drill holes in this area are vertical, meaning that unless they were drilled directly down the steeply dipping structures we are currently defining, any drilling in this area would have completely missed these very high grade zones…”

“We are delighted to be back on track at Pino de Plata. Surface land owners with ranches on our project have agreed to grant access for the drill campaign that is slated to commence after the Christmas holidays,” stated Karl Boltz, CEO of Silver Spruce.

The company is now planning to double production to a target of 250,000 tonnes a year in 2019 over a seven to 10-year mine life, while also increasing its stake in the project from 51 per cent to 90 per cent by 2018.

Colibri Resource Corporation is pleased to announce that it has created and confirmed a model to delineate drill targets on the Pilar property. Colibri hired international consultant and geologist PJ Lafleur to work with Hector Mendivil, a 3D software (ArcGIS TARGET) specialist in Hermosillo. Under Colibri’s country manager and geologist, Jackie E. Stephens, a model was created pertaining to the existing 2 gold trends on the Pilar Gold Project.

Mexico’s environmental enforcement agency Profepa suspended operations at a Santacruz Silver property in Zacatecas state. Profepa announced a temporary closure order at the plant in Vetagrande municipality, citing inadequate atmospheric emission controls. The company also failed to present an environmental permit, equipment maintenance registers or an inventory of atmospheric emissions, Profepa said.

Mexico Mining Center los invita a asistir a nuestra tercera edición de la Conferencia Minera Discoveries que se celebrará en Hermosillo, Sonora, del 3 al 5 de abril de 2018. Discoveries es acerca de los emocionantes descubrimientos que continúan colocando a México entre los países más atractivos para la inversión minera. Esta es la única conferencia técnica de alto nivel en México enfocada en exploración minera. Cada primavera, geólogos, inversionistas y líderes de la industria minera se reúnen en Hermosillo durante tres días para conocer los últimos descubrimientos de mineral e innovaciones en exploración y desarrollo minero.

Vangold Mining CEO, Cameron King states, “The work program undertaken is by far the most intensive to date and has the potential to significantly improve the fundamentals for the Company. A defined inferred resource calculation, which is expected as a result of this campaign, should validate a definitive and significant value for the stockpiles bringing the Company closer to its production and cash flow goals.”

“We are excited to initiate the Phase 1 drill program now that the rain season has passed and climate conditions are good for drilling. We have well defined drill targets at the California and Jasper porphyry oxide gold-copper targets due to the trench sampling, soil sampling, and detailed vein mapping we have completed to date” said Joey Wilkins, President and CEO.

The Program will consist of 14 to 17 holes totalling approximately 3,000 metres to test the gold oxide cap located in the California Zone, where 50m x 50m spaced soil sampling identified a 600m wide by 900m long gold anomaly averaging 0.44 grams per tonne.
