Southern Silver Exploration Corp. reported today additional assay results from the 2017 core drilling program on the Cerro Las Minitas project, Durango State, Mexico, which identified a thick zone of silver-copper enriched mineralization in hole 17CLM-098.

Akiba Leisman, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO states that “drilling at the Taunus pit is giving us great exploration success. Areas that were previously modeled as waste are yielding mineralized intercepts that are multiples of our 0.35 g/t gold cut-off grade. This drilling program will add ounces to our mine plan, and we will continue drilling to the southeast to determine how significant the Taunus pit can eventually become.”

Goldex Resources Corporation is pleased to announce that from from May 15th to the 26th a short geological field program was completed at the Mingeo Property. Mineralization as observed in the four underground adits and surface outcrops is mainly confined to low angle quartz “mantos” (0.10 to 3.0m wide), which in places are strongly folded and/or displaced by quartz bearing faults. The quartz mantos strike ENE to WNW with an average dip of 20 degrees mostly to the north. Some mantos show shear movement along their hanging-wall contacts. The quartz mantos are believed to be of orogenic origin and lie within northern Sonora.

Mexus Gold US announced today that the secondary cone crusher has arrived at the Santa Elena mine. This equipment will help the company and our JV partner, MarMar Holdings, in reaching the end goal of producing 10,000 tons per day.

A group of Canadian mining companies are at the centre of a fledgling international cyber threat sharing operation set to go live next month.

Gregory A. Beischer, President & CEO commented: “One of the senior members of Millrock’s Mexico exploration team is highly familiar with the San Francisco Gold Mine. In comparison to San Francisco, he reports many similarities in the rocks and structures exposed on the El Picacho project. This is the first designated project to come out of our Alliance with Centerra and we look forward to working on this project with them”.

“We are excited that the recently announced drill program has already returned one of the widest intercepts ever drilled at San Acacio. The results demonstrate that wide vein widths and high grades continue at depth and along strike at the San Acacio Silver Deposit. We look forward to releasing further results as drilling proceeds along the 1.2 km of historic workings as well as the newly defined Quartz-Pyrite Breccia target, all which have the potential to substantially increase the size of the current resource.” said Bruce Winfield, President and CEO of Defiance Silver Corp.

Brian Robertson, President and CEO stated, “This agreement, which secures Mexican Gold’s right to acquire ownership of these key core concessions, marks a major milestone for Mexican Gold. I wish to thank the property owners for their kind co-operation and unwavering support for Mexican Gold. We now look forward to the initial mineral resource estimate for the El Dorado/Juan Bran and Santa Cruz zones and the continuing advancement and development of this highly mineralized property.”

“We are very excited to partner with Harvest Gold on the Cerro Cascaron project”, commented Paddy Nicol, Evrim’s President and CEO. “Harvest’s management team has a demonstrated history of successful project development and we are confident in their commitment to the Project. Cerro Cascaron, with its district scale high grade gold and silver systems, is the type of project that an exploration company such as Harvest can take an aggressive approach to explore and develop quickly. Exploration at the Project is expected to commence shortly with the aim to identify several targets for drill testing later in 2017.”

Plata Latina Minerals Corporation is pleased to announce that Metalúrgica Reyna, S.A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresnillo PLC, has recently initiated a multi-rig drilling program at Plata Latina’s Naranjillo project where Plata Latina had previously obtained numerous high-grade Ag-Au drill intercepts (up to 3,181 g/t silver and 13.28 g/t gold over 10.95 metres). The Naranjillo project is the subject of the purchase option agreement with Reyna announced on April 3, 2017. Drilling results will be announced as they become available.
