Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Alset Energy said: “One of our near-term project initiatives of re-sizing the concessions is well underway. With our largest concession completed, we can now continue with the reduction followed by splitting into smaller parcels of Sutti 22 as it remains advantageous and cost effective to do so. We are progressing expeditiously with our ongoing drill permitting and we are awaiting results from the laboratory for samples recently submitted that will provide us with insight into grade and recovery of lithium.”

Almadex Chairman, J. Duane Poliquin commented, “At the beginning of this year, we anticipated drilling several of our projects, including Los Venados, but our success at El Cobre has dictated that we change plans and focus our technical resources there. In that context we are pleased to option Los Venados to a group which is keen to advance the project through drilling.”

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.”

El corporativo minero canadiense Endeavour Silver anunció el cierre de la adquisición de una mina con contenido de plata en Hidalgo del Parral propiedad de Silver Standard Resources Inc y la inversión de dos millones de dólares en exploración durante los próximos dos años.

En la ciudad de Zacatecas el director de la industria Fernando Alanís y Octavio Alvidrez de Fresnillo PLC, inauguraron las actividades donde participan 237 trabajadores de 16 secciones sindicales.

Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald states, “Results from the first 11 holes of the program confirm RAM is an entirely new silver discovery and development of this mineralized structure will remain a top priority for the Company. The strength and consistency of veining within the structure bodes well for the discovery of further silver resources at depth and along both strike directions. Drilling returned good continuity of silver grades across a 400-meter strike length and widespread silver mineralization was encountered in all but two of the eleven holes, confirming the structure’s large-scale potential. Moving forward, the close proximity of the RAM structure to our established La Cigarra silver resource offers excellent potential for future shared infrastructure and economies of scale, as we continue to develop RAM and advance our main La Cigarra deposit towards the economic stage.”

“The installation and commissioning of this equipment is part of our ongoing upgrade of the Veta Grande milling facility,” stated Arturo Préstamo, President and CEO of Santacruz. “As a result metal recoveries are now approximately 70% and 88% for silver and lead respectively reporting to the lead concentrate, with an additional approximate 14% recovery of silver to the zinc concentrate. We anticipate further increases in the silver recovery as we continue to fine-tune the system. Our next step is to begin work on fabricating and installing a zinc thickener and filter press of equal capacity which is scheduled for completion in Q1 2017.”

Drill assays from Hole 21 (RC16CT-21) has returned a high grade silver intercept from surface. This further enhances and confirms the continuity of the southern Loop mineralisation. At 35m width this intercept serves to define a confirmed high grade shoot within the broad and continuous mineralised structures of the Mojardina Loop.

Mexus Gold US along with its JV partner MarMar recently decided that the best option for gold recovery at the Santa Elena mine will be a Merrill Crowe system. The decision to use this system instead of Electrowinning was made in part because a Merrill Crowe system will allow Mexus the opportunity to scale the recovery plant as production increases. Mexus now plans to ship a 400-600gpm Merrill Crowe plant from its Walnut Grove shop to the Santa Elena mine site. This plant was purchased by Mexus in 2014 and had been readied for use when needed. The recovery plant has been disassembled, loaded, and is ready to be shipped around November 27th.
