BACANORA MINERALS LTD., the Canadian and London listed lithium company developing the Sonora Lithium Project in northern state of Sonora, Mexico, is pleased to provide an update on activities being undertaken as part of the Company’s upcoming definitive Feasibility Study.

“We are very pleased to have declared commercial production at our Veta Grande Mine, which represents a new chapter for the Company as we diligently work to increase our total production threshold in Mexico. A number of activities are in progress to support further throughput growth at Veta Grande, which we see as a cornerstone asset for Santacruz.” stated CEO Arturo Préstamo. “Over the past six months, the Company has also been working to augment and diversify mineralized feed for the Rosario Mine milling facility, including the delivery of higher grade material from the Cinco Estrellas property located 40km away. While production from the Rosario Mine itself decreased in the third quarter due to narrower zones of mineralization, it is expected that additional tonnage from Cinco Estrella coupled with the commencement of commercial production at the Veta Grande Mine should result in significant increases in production in 2017.”

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almaden, commented, “We started drilling again at the Norte zone to follow up an old hole that ended in important mineralisation. The Norte Zone has room to grow from the recently reported intersections. Nevertheless, the extensive geophysical and alteration work we have done in the past show this area to be an offshoot of a much bigger target which may represent the intrusive core of this large porphyry system. This untested bigger target along with the untested Villa Rica zone will be drilled in the weeks and months ahead. To that end, a new more powerful drill was recently built for the Company. It was shipped from Vancouver this week and should be in Mexico within two weeks.”

DynaResource, Inc. is pleased to announce that Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V., the 100% owned subsidiary of DynaUSA and the exclusive operator of the San Jose de Gràcia Property in northern Sinaloa, México, is reporting the delivery for sale, on October 31, 2016, of an approximate 550 Oz gold contained in concentrates (exact weights in gold and silver oz. to be determined at final settlement).

Pledge to revive U.S. manufacturing and rehabilitate the country’s aging infrastructure boosts mining stocks.

“Minas Nuevas represents the first of a number of drill targets that we are progressing to the drill stage at La Quintera,” stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO of Minaurum Gold. “Our exploration program has thus far delineated multiple high-grade silver targets and we expect to identify more as we complete the first systematic mapping and sampling program undertaken in this historic district.”

Orex’s President, Gary Cope says, “With two diamond drill rigs being mobilized onto the Coneto Project, we look forward to continuing exploration and advancement with our colleagues at Fresnillo.”

Orex’s President, Gary Cope says, “We are pleased that diamond drilling is once again underway on Sandra Escobar. This next phase will include both drilling adjacent to the current Boleras Silver Deposit, as well as several deeper reconnaissance drill holes.”

JUST as the zinc price hit a five?year high this week, Consolidated Zinc announced preliminary results from regional exploration activities that show very encouraging signs. Zinc moved beyond US$2450/t earlier in the week, even edging towards $2,480/t at one point.

“This is an exciting new step for the company,” Mr Dix said. “While we have seen success from the drilling activity below the existing mine, we have also been keen to progress the regional exploration activity and this first phase has given us great encouragement that the environment is conducive to hosting additional mineralisation.”
