Westminster Resources is continuing exploration at its 100% owned El Cobre property in Sonora, Mexico. The current program is concentrated on evaluation of epithermal precious metal potential in the Guayacan northwest region of the 17,854 hectare property. The Guayacan epithermal targets are associated with major linear and circular magnetic geophysical anomalies and structures coincident with intense alteration and silicification of host rock units. Most of the mineralized zones are exposed as wide spread float boulders within areas of anomalous soil geochemistry. Mechanical trenching utilizing bulldozer or backhoe equipment in conjunction with prospecting is considered the best exploration practice to locate and sample the source structures.

Anis Nehme states, “The Municipality of Parral, with a population of 120,000 citizens, wished to recognize the Company’s valuable support for the social and economic development of Parral. This was the first time in the 400 year history of Parral that they have awarded this honor. We were presented with a plaque that reads: The actual handing over of these keys evokes, in our collective imagination, the act of opening the gates of a city rich in history, which is being transformed to make way for a future that awaits the adventurous. I was honoured to receive the Key of Parral on behalf of our team.”

Orex’s President, Gary Cope says, “Drilling at Sandra Escobar continues to yield thick intercepts of disseminated silver mineralization. Discussions with consulting firms have started for metallurgical testing and resource estimation studies.”

Azure’s Managing Director, Tony Rovira, commented: “I’m very pleased to present this first Mineral Resource for the Mesa de Plata silver deposit. In particular, the High Grade Zone presents an attractive near-term development option, and we’re currently investigating this possibility. Additionally, I’m very confident that our recent exploration successes at the nearby Loma Bonita prospect, which has both gold and silver mineralisation, will significantly enhance the overall project.”

The resource estimate provides initial grade and tonnage estimates for three mineral deposits on the property at the Blind, El Sol and Santo Nino zones which have been the focus of much of Southern’s exploration activities on the property since 2011, but does not include mineralization from the newly discovered Mina La Bocona zone. Further drilling on the Mina La Bocona target is planned for the 2016 exploration program in order to properly delineate this target.

IMPACT Silver Corp. is pleased to announce more high-grade drill results for silver over wide widths from the Deeps Zone of the San Ramon Mine in central Mexico. These new drill intersections are located below previously reported drill intersections and indicate the zone is becoming wider and higher grade with depth. Results from these new drill holes are as follows:

San Marco CEO, Bob Willis stated; “The first stage of target definition is now complete. The incorporation of additional geological information and target prioritization is expected to be completed within two to three weeks. The mere number and quality of targets generated at this point is mind boggling. We have a lot of work to do, such that over the next couple of weeks, the SMN field team is making field access, logistics and personnel preparations so we can ‘hit the ground running’.”

La Soledad, situated approximately 1,000 metres south of the main La Cigarra silver deposit (Las Carolinas Zone) and 500 metres south of the Las Venadas Zone, contains a number of mine dumps and historic mine workings that exploited a series of silver bearing quartz veins. Rock sampling here was conducted over a 500 metre long north-south striking area. Of the 70 rock samples taken during the recent program, one channel sample returned a high value of 252.0 g/t silver and 20% lead over 1.2 metres. In total, 35 samples reported grades exceeding 10 g/t silver with many samples returning high values of lead.
