Consolidated Zinc commissions Scoping Study

“We have established a solid resource base, largely from the drilling completed in 2016, and are seeing ongoing success as we identify additional mineralisation underground,” Mr Dix said. “The short and medium-term outlook for zinc prices gives us confidence the study will return positive economic indicators that will provide further justification for this approach.” The scoping study is expected to be completed early in the second quarter of 2017, enabling decisions to be made on future progress and development of the Plomosas mine soon after. “We look forward to working closely with our expanded team to work through the study,” added Mr Dix. “In the meantime drilling will continue to expand our current resource and our goal remains to establish a larger scale mining operation off a robust resource at Plomosas.”

Great Panther Silver Updates Mineral Resource Estimate At The Guanajuato Mine Complex

“Once again, we successfully replaced what we mined at the GMC, and upgraded much of the resource to higher categories”, stated Robert Archer, President & CEO. “Notably, due to permitting delays, the fourth quarter 2016 step-out drilling at San Ignacio started after the effective cut-off date for this Resource Estimate, and the results of that program, which would have added to the Inferred resource, were not included. For 2017, we have more than doubled our drilling budget at the GMC, to 34,500 metres, and will continue our efforts to expand and further define the resource base at the Guanajuato and San Ignacio Mines, and the outlying El Horcon Project.”

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “We continue to be encouraged by the results of the geochemical and geophysical surveys completed to date at the Glor Project, which show positive indications of an orogenic gold system.
