Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “We are pleased to be adding new quality gold and copper targets to the Riverside portfolio for low acquisition and go-forward carrying costs. We will look forward to completing follow up sampling and further field evaluations at Ariel in 2016. Winning rights to stake properties through the Mexico lottery system has been one way for Riverside to continue to add quality assets at deep discount prices without any underlying deal terms or royalties.”

Baja Mining Corp. is pleased to report that Tom Ogryzlo — Interim CEO and Director, and Wolf Seidler — Director, visited the Boleo Mine on February 19, 2016, and met with operations management of Minera y Metalu?rgica del Boleo, S.A. P.I. de C.V. to discuss progress at Boleo, including both the underground and open pit mining and the process plant production ramp-up.

“The Plant is open for business,” said Robert Eadie, President of the Company. “This is a huge milestone for us in Mexico. With Altiplano’s leaching process, we are able to offer the local miners more flexible financing options compared to what is currently being made available to them by smelters and international traders. We see the Altiplano Plant as a synergistic cash-flow producing arm of the Company, growing our asset base for our shareholders.”

La Mina Mulatos del corporativo Alamos Gold Inc., enclavada en la Sierra Madre Occidental en territorio Sonorense, ha logrado un record difícilmente igualable en la Industria Minera al alcanzar recientemente 4 Millones de Horas-Hombre trabajadas sin accidentes incapacitantes en la mina Mulatos de su filial Minas de Oro Nacional, lo cual la posiciona como una de las empresas más seguras no solo de la Industria Minera sino del sector industrial en general.

“This was a difficult decision,” stated Robert Archer, President & CEO. “However, our 2015 exploration program did not yield the results we had anticipated and, after an extensive review, we concluded that the project does not meet the criteria for our current growth strategy. Vista has been a terrific partner and we wish them all the best in advancing the GDLR Project to its full potential.”

Fred Stanford, President & CEO of Torex stated: “The ramp up of the processing plant is tracking nicely ahead of plan, costs remain on budget, security and safety performance has been excellent, relationships with local communities continue to be productive, and the construction of production support facilities is drawing to a close. The next three milestones will be the declaration of commercial production, the resettlement of the El Limon village, and the commissioning of the El Limon Crusher / RopeCon. All of these milestones are on schedule for achievement in Q2 2016.” …

Azure Minerals Limited is pleased to advise that drilling at the Company’s Promontorio Project is scheduled to start next month following the identification of key exploration targets by Kennecott Exploration Mexico S.A. de C.V, which has an option to earn up to an 80% interest in the project.

Orex’s President, Gary Cope says, “The high-grade silver and thick drilling intercepts continue across the target area. Still to come are the results for 11 more holes from the Phase-I drilling program. All of holes drilled to date have hit the strataform host rock unit. Results will be released over the next several weeks.”

Recent surface exploration work conducted by Northair included 15 channel and rock samples taken from veined faults traced over a distance of approximately 100 metres near the eastern margin of the La Colorada intrusive center. This work returned 125 g/t silver over a 1.5 metre channel width with 7 samples reporting values greater than 10 g/t silver. Additionally, 7 rock chip samples returned greater than 0.10 g/t gold, with 3 samples reporting over 1.0 g/t gold. The highest grade channel sample returned 6.92 g/t gold over a 1.5 metre width.
