“The Cerro Cascaron project is an indication that the mineral endowment in Mexico continues to produce untested high quality exploration targets,” commented Alain Charest, Evrim Resources’ Vice President Exploration for Mexico. “In six months Evrim’s exploration team has transformed Cerro Cascaron from an unexplored concession to a highly prospective low sulphidation epithermal gold target.”

“I am pleased to announce that Avino has declared commercial production at its second, and largest mine on the Avino property. We have continued to build our first class mining operation over the last 19 months and declaring commercial production at the Avino Mine marks the achievement of another milestone for the Company. We are fortunate to have a strong and dedicated team of professionals who have been instrumental in making the transition to commercial production; I personally thank them for their significant contributions.

Mr. Alain Lambert, Chairman and CEO of Cyprium commented: “We appointed Bergmann in February to carry-out the Potosi shaft #3 project which consisted in the rehabilitation and improvement of the extraction capability of the shaft as well as improvement of infrastructure, security and preparation of prospective mining areas at levels 2 to 4 of the mine. Not only did Bergmann complete the project on time and on budget but they also contributed several ideas which strengthened the original plan.” He added: “Bergmann has a deep and extensive knowledge of the Potosi mine as they were the contractor used by our joint venture partner when the mine was last in production a few years ago.”

Primero Mining Corp. announced today that it has issued a Notice of Intent to submit a claim to international arbitration against the Government of Mexico, pursuant to Article 1119 of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Almadex Chairman, J. Duane Poliquin commented, “We have an outstanding portfolio of mineral projects and we are pleased to have commenced drilling on the most advanced, El Cobre. We are exploring a very large zone of alteration hosting several porphyry systems and expect that this round of drilling will better define the systems for future drilling. These first results are from only one of the targets identified and clearly demonstrate the potential of the Encinal target while providing important data for the drilling we are planning based on these results.”

Millrock Resources Inc. announces that surface exploration is underway at the Los Chinos and Los Cuarentas gold projects in Sonora State, Mexico. The projects are the subject of a previously-announced option to joint venture agreement with Centerra Gold Inc.

Mr. Barry Devlin, Vice President of Exploration, stated, “This latest round of drill results from Switchback continues to define, as well as expand, this impressive polymetallic vein system comprised of multiple en echelon veins. In particular, step-out Hole 516115 expands high-grade mineralization to the southeast where we had thought precious metal grades may have started to decrease. It is also exciting to see some of the highest gold grades drilled to date at Switchback in these latest intercepts. Our primary exploration goal is to continue expanding the Switchback epithermal vein system in the Arista Mine.”
