Mexus Gold US announced that work on the Santa Elena mine is progressing as planned. On My 24th, representatives from MarMar holdings and Mexus held a meeting and adopted a mining plan with numerous items being discussed and agreed upon. Out of this meeting came the decision to obtain a blasting permit in the name of the JV as opposed to using a blasting contractor. The parties can control costs and manage the process more efficiently than using an outside vendor. It will take 4 to 6 weeks to obtain this blasting permit allowing time for our partner to bring in additional equipment. In the end, this property will be brought into full production faster and much larger than first anticipated.

Mr. Alain Lambert, Chairman and CEO of Cyprium commented: “Over the last three months we have replaced almost 1.5 kilometers of railway tracks at level 0 and at level 4. This includes the installation of railway tracks between an existing raise from the level 4 proposed initial mining area to shaft #3 as well as the installation of railway tracks in the level 4 mining area where much of our near-term mining activities will take place. New air and water tubing has been installed and we have rehabilitated existing equipment including two air-loaders and a small electric locomotive. Once we have re-assembled the air compressor which was brought down into the mine last week, we will turn our focus on cleaning up old stopes in level 2, 3 and 4, retrieving existing mineralized material from past mining operations and initiating drilling and blasting.”

David Coburn, CEO of Gainey, commented, “the commencement of the Phase 1 Drilling Program will target four out of the 21 high priority Mineralized Zones at El Colomo that have already been identified by the Company’s technical team. Our most recent exploration activity on the Project, which includes assay results and detailed mapping, gives us reason to be optimistic that the anticipated results of our Phase 1 drilling program will be the foundation of building a great company.”

Orex’s President, Gary Cope says, “Drilling continues to yield thick intercepts of disseminated silver mineralization showing continuity in the Main Zone. Identification of silver on Cerro Chato and in several other areas bodes well for the next phase of exploration.”

Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. is extremely pleased to announce that it has commenced mining at the high grade HS Zone at its wholly owned La Trinidad mine in Sinaloa, Mexico. The past one and a half years of commercial mining has been in preparation for this milestone, and over the course of the next weeks and months, La Trinidad will transition from being a high cost operation to become one of the lowest cost gold mines in the world.

A partir de 2013 y hasta el cierre de 2015, la cotización internacional del oro había ido a la baja: el año pasado cayó 10.42 por ciento a un valor de mil 61 dólares por onza; y al inicio de este periodo retrocedió 28.04 por ciento, evento que las empresas productoras del metal precioso compensarón con un incremento en su producción.

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “The Sonora Orogenic Gold Deposits commonly have lenses of gold and often require several drilling campaigns and several dozen drill holes for a discovery. We are encouraged with the results of this initial phase of 8 core holes, which will help us establish a better understanding of controls on mineralization and guide future drilling and exploration efforts at Tajitos.”

Azure Managing Director Mr Tony Rovira said, “It’s very exciting that we were approached and offered this exciting new prospect. While our focus is clearly on advancing our Alacrán silver and gold discoveries, this new project provides us with an unexplored foothold in the middle of the hottest silver district in Mexico. Recent silver and gold discoveries and current mine developments within this district are major reasons for Azure to take a presence here.

Lawrence Page Q. C. President said “during the exploration of the CLM claims while Southern Silver was funding the option payments, it became apparent that ownership of surface rights to land overlying the mineral claims would be greatly beneficial for future development of the property. We have now accomplished the purchase of land which will be significant in any exploitation of the claims. Additionally, through our Mexican Corporation, which is the owner of the mineral claims, we have negotiated and executed exploration access agreements with the local Ejidos holding surface rights over the deposits allowing continued exploration on the property”.

Glenn Jessome. President and CEO of Oceanus, stated “During acquisition due diligence our team, which has extensive experience in large epithermal deposits in Mexico recognized that the previously unsampled drill core required sampling. We see the greater potential of the El Tigre property as a bulk tonnage target.”
