“Congratulations to Dean on receiving this prestigious award,” said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., President and CEO. “We believe the largest risk to mining companies today is the ability to replace reserves. Dean and his exploration team have been instrumental in Hecla maintaining its strong and growing reserve and resource profile over the past 10 years; as we added 299 million silver ounces to reserves despite price volatility and the recent trend in the industry of declining reserves.”

Canasil Resources Inc. announces assay results for drill holes ES-17-18 and ES-17-19 of the 2016-17 core drilling program at the La Esperanza silver-zinc-lead project in Durango and Zacatecas States, Mexico. Both drill holes intersected wide mineralized intervals with multiple silver-zinc-lead intercepts, with appreciable gold values in ES-17-19, reporting high-grade intervals from the La Esperanza vein. These holes now complete the current drill program, which was expanded to eight drill holes for a total of 2,452 metres (m). All drill holes successfully intersected the La Esperanza vein indicating a strong mineralized system which remains open in both directions to the southeast and northwest along strike and to depth. Of particular note are the high gold grades observed for the first time together with high silver grades in drill hole ES-17-19.

Lithium Australia Managing director Adrian Griffin stated: “These results are a great start to our metallurgical evaluation program and clearly show the potential to produce a valuable concentrate from the host volcanogenic sediments. The acid solubility of the lithium is of greater importance. The ability to leach the lithium in very short periods of time, at ambient temperature, and without the requirement of pre-treatment may have profound effects on the economics of Agua Fria, the next major lithium clay deposit.”

CEO John Lawrence said “We are excited to start the Los Juarez gold, silver, and antimony pilot production. We are optimistic about further progress at Los Juarez and believe it could be a major event for shareholders. In addition, we remain focused on increasing Mexican antimony production and BRZ zeolite sales.

“The Platosa optimization program is nearing completion,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With each additional submersible pump we are increasing the local rate of drawdown at Platosa resulting in drier mining conditions day-by-day and the results continue to confirm or exceed our projections. Essential well cleaning was largely completed during Q1 and we are now in position to install submersibles more rapidly. We remain on track for a dry mine by the end of Q2.”

Ceyla Cruz Gutiérrez, activista y comunera zoque y también representante del Comité Unidos por el Pueblo denunció que fue victima de una agresión verbal e intimidaciones de parte de trabajadores del ayuntamiento de San Miguel Chimalapa cuando realizaba capturas fotográficas de representantes mineros quienes ingresaban al palacio municipal.

“During the quarter we continued to focus our efforts on reserve replacement and populating the resource triangle with new targets,” said Paul Harbidge, Senior Vice-President, Exploration. “I am encouraged with the positive results that we are seeing from our portfolio of projects as well as the generative studies which are laying the foundation for future exploration success. We are well positioned to meet our targeted 20% increase in reserves over the next five years.”
