“Sarape displays many similarities with Evrim’s Ermitaño project discovery where exploration partner First Majestic drilled 18 metres grading 11.4 g/t gold,” commented Charles Funk, Evrim’s Vice President of New Opportunities and Exploration. “Common to both projects are prominent outcropping broad veins with low to moderate grade gold and silver at surface. A key observation lies in the recognition of textures within the veins at surface which commonly occur above concealed high-grade ore-shoots.”

Brian Robertson, President and CEO, commented, “We are extremely encouraged by this substantial initial Mineral Resource Estimate. The fact that the two zones remain open to expansion both laterally and at depth, when combined with the additional six largely untested mineralized zones, clearly demonstrates the potential to expand resources at Las Minas. Additional drilling is scheduled for commencement to expand the initial resource estimate for these two zones and test other high priority targets. Results will be released as they become available. The Mineral Resource Estimate marks a very important milestone for the development of the Las Minas property and a significant event for our shareholders.”

“The mine has returned to normal tonnage and metal production under interim COO Ralf Kleine. Our very strong cash position and balance sheet coupled with the ramping up of our Altiplano processing facility will open us to opportunities to potentially increase production.” reported Robert Eadie, President of the Company.

Telson Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that processing of Tahuehueto ore for mineral recovery at the Atocha toll mill is underway. It is planned to process the ore at 300 tonnes or more per day.

Neil Woodyer, CEO stated “Development of the exploration ramp is an important step in advancing Bermejal Underground towards production. The ramp will provide access to the eastern and central portions of the deposit. The mineralization is similar to the Los Filos Underground deposits where we are currently mining, and this development provides an opportunity to carry out additional exploration from underground as well as demonstrate the minability of Bermejal Underground. Access to the ore body will also provide a larger sample for confirmatory metallurgical testwork for heap leaching. These steps will advance the deposit towards declaration of reserves and incorporation into the mine plan.”

“I want our shareholders to understand that production and sale of gold is imminent. We have faced and overcome the initial hurdles and are nearing the time when production will begin full time for years to come. Both MarMar and Mexus agreed that we would hold off running our gold through the Merrill Crowe system until assured that the recoveries were acceptable. Patience in this area is prudent as we don’t want to risk the loss of any gold. I want to reiterate that production will be constant once all of the minor tweaks are made and we move to full time production,” added CEO Paul Thompson.

“We are pleased with the progress on the permitting process at Topia and we will continue working closely with the Mexican authorities to obtain this permit in a timely manner”, stated Robert Archer, President & CEO. “During the response period, we plan to continue normal operations at Topia using the existing Phase I TSF.”

“Today’s results confirm the potential to add significant high-grade mineralization to the 623 Manto and demonstrate continuity between the 623 and Guadalupe South mantos,” stated Ben Pullinger, Vice-President, Geology. “This mineralization is near mine workings and therefore has the potential to increase near term high-grade production. Our drilling program continues to successfully demonstrate the ability to expand Platosa’s mineralized footprint around existing resources. Dry conditions are also providing easier and more efficient access to strategic areas for underground drilling around the Platosa mantos.”
