San Marco’s CEO, Bob Willis states “Chunibas continues to show us we have yet to find the limits of the mineralization in all directions. Based on our revised geological model and expanded deposit footprint, we are confident that the 2016 program will lead to further exploration and diamond drilling. “

IMPACT Silver Corp. is pleased to announce more high-grade drill results for silver from the Deeps Zone of the San Ramon Mine in central Mexico. These new drill intersections are located at depth below previously reported drill intersections. Additional holes have been drilled and results are pending. New drill results are as follows:

Mexus Gold US and its JV partner MarMar determined in November that a Merrill Crowe plant would be the best recovery system at the expanded Santa Elena mine. The Merrill Crowe plant to be used was loaded and shipped from Walnut Grove, CA. The plant cleared customs on December 8th and will arrive at the mine site December 12th. As previously stated the assembly of the plant is not complicated and should be fully operational in January 2017. The added time and effort to import a Merrill Crowe plant will be well worth it in terms of production.

Millrock Resources Inc. announces that it has completed an initial drilling program at its Los Chinos gold project in Sonora State, Mexico. The project is the subject of a previously-announced option to joint venture agreement with Centerra Gold Inc. Under the option agreement, Centerra can earn a 70% interest by funding US$5.0 million in exploration expenditures over a five year period. Millrock manages the exploration work in close consultation with Centerra.

DynaResource, Inc. is pleased to announce that Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V., the 100% owned subsidiary of DynaUSA and the exclusive operator of the San Jose de Gràcia Property in the County of Sinaloa de Leyva, State of Sinaloa, México, is reporting the delivery for sale, on December 6, 2016, of an approximate 600 Oz gold contained in concentrates (exact weights in gold and silver oz. to be determined at final settlement).

La Secretaría del Trabajo y Previsión Social (STPS) otorgó a Minas de Oro Nacional- Alamos Gold el Distintivo “Empresa Familiarmente Responsable” por implementar y promover políticas laborales que contribuyen a que los trabajadores se desarrollen de manera integral, tanto en el trabajo como en su ámbito familiar y de manera profesional, mismo que fue recibido por la Lic.

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Alset stated: “We have just started the first phase in testing the chemical composition of our salars and our team is delighted with the results. In addition to the encouraging lithium results the potassium grades are encouraging as well. Currently Mexico imports all of its potassium and a domestic source would not only be a cost saver for Mexico but would create job opportunities in a crucial commodity for the farming sector. Furthermore, the silver results suggest there may be potential for precious metals as well and further work is required to assess this potential. We are still in the very early stages of assessing the realistic potential of the projects. I’m excited about these results and look forward to the upcoming leach tests on these samples prior to follow-up drilling at several of the salars in the early part of 2017.”

Kootenay Silver Inc. is pleased to report 6 additional core drill holes have been completed and submitted for assaying, with the core drill rig collared on the 7th hole within the La Soledad Zone, located approximately 1,000 meters south of the Company’s established La Cigarra silver resource in Chihuahua State, Mexico.

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude stated, “Riverside is pleased to advance the Clemente Project with a reputable group that has a track record of making discoveries in Mexico including La Preciosa with Orko Silver Corp. and Coneto and Sandra Escobar with Orex Minerals Inc. The Clemente area of Sonora has good surface access, is readily workable year-round, and is in close proximity to open pit gold mines in Sonora. Initial partner-funded exploration is anticipated to commence in the first half of 2017 and we look forward to potential drilling at Clemente in the near future.”

MX Gold Corp. announces that, further to its news release dated October 25, 2016 regarding the entry into a binding agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the Magistral, Del Oro tailings project, the Company paid the second installment of US$750,000 to the owner of the Project as required by the Agreement.
