Jorge A. Ganoza, President and CEO commented, “This is the first quarter of full production at the new rate of 3,000 tonnes per day at our San Jose Mine, where operations are performing according to plan.” Mr. Ganoza continued, “Senior management’s focus now is on advancing our newly acquired Lindero gold project, located in the Salta Province in Argentina, towards a construction decision in the first half of next year.”

“Consolidated copper production continued to be very strong in the third quarter, setting a second consecutive all-time production record for Capstone,” said Darren Pylot, President and CEO of Capstone. ” Pinto Valley continues to demonstrate its potential, maintaining throughput at a record pace, with the high grade ore from Minto North also contributing to record production for the quarter.”

“We are very pleased with the consistency of our operating performance during the quarter and year to date,” stated Arturo Bonillas, President of the Company. “Gold ounces produced this year have already exceeded our previous targets as we are on pace to meet current guidance of 90,000 – 100,000 ounces for 2016. We continue to see the benefit of the changes implemented late last year including cost reductions (mine-site G&A, mining and cyanide cost reduction), and increased operational efficiencies.”

McEwen Mining Inc. is pleased to announce that total production for the third quarter was 36,496 gold equivalent ounces using a gold to silver ratio of 75:1, or 24,281 gold ounces and 916,168 silver ounces. Production is on target to achieve our 2016 guidance of 144,000 gold equivalent ounces, or 99,500 gold ounces and 3,337,000 silver ounces.

J.D. Poliquin, chairman of Almaden stated, “Today’s results once again show the presence of the high grade veins on the Tuligtic project. While we are now focussed on developing the Ixtaca deposit into a significant precious metals producer in Mexico, and are currently busy with engineering work and studies towards producing a PFS, we are also conducting exploration drilling to test for additional resource potential.”

Colibri will initiate a program of detail mapping and sampling in the area of the high grade chip samples and explore for extensions of this area. We will also investigate the areas of high gold in soils to see if we can strip, map and sample these areas. The above work will be followed up by a second phase program of drilling.

President Mike England states, “The Company is pleased to now have boots on the ground on our Mexican concession and to commence exploration on the property. Our team is well experienced in the area and we look forward to announcing further news as they progress with the exploration program.”

“We are pleased that the Company’s Oaxaca Mining Unit business plan of having multiple mines feed a strategically located mill is well underway with the development of our now fully permitted Alta Gracia mine,” stated Mr. Jason Reid, CEO and President of Gold Resource Corporation. “We were able to advance Alta Gracia forward much faster with this business plan, as we only have to justify the mining and trucking costs to haul mineral to our Aguila mill for processing. This shared mill approach eliminates the need and capital required to build a mill at each of our six properties. Furthermore, it targets moving a property into production sooner, at less cost and may add to our production profile and longevity of operations. We are very excited to soon have Alta Gracia as our second producing mine within our Oaxaca Mining Unit.”

“This new resource estimate highlights the important progress we’ve made since the last resource estimate” said Avino President and CEO, David Wolfin. “During the past ten years, our mine site exploration efforts have been successful, consistently identifying new resources.”

Evrim Resources Corp. announces new exploration results at the Company’s 100% owned Llano del Nogal project in Sonora, Mexico. Recent mapping and ground geophysics has defined a large 1,000 metre by 600 metre zone of porphyry alteration with a buried target at the Suanse area. Llano del Nogal has had very limited exploration and represents one of the few undrilled projects within the Cananea – La Caridad Porphyry Belt.
