Deep sea mining is one of those long-held commercial dreams that just decades ago seemed to be a sci-fi fantasy. But now that firms and international groups are preparing to shift their very costly exploratory projects into lucrative operations, environmental groups are pushing to get the right international regulations in place to protect deep sea ecosystems.

BACANORA MINERALS LTD., the Canadian and London listed lithium and borates company based in Mexico, is pleased to provide an update on progress on the ongoing development work that is being conducted in connection with its upcoming pre-feasibility study at its Sonora Lithium Project. This ongoing development work and the resulting PFS are expected to be used to design a plant capable of potentially delivering up to 50,000 tonnes per year of lithium carbonate. This highlights Bacanora’s strategy to continue the transition from an exploration company into a mine development company.

Up to 10,000 metres of core drilling is planned as part of the $US 2 million, 2015 exploration program and will target both known zones of mineralization and new discoveries on the property. An initial five holes will test the Blind and El Sol mineralized zones to up to 600 metres depth. Success in this drilling could significantly expand the depth and strike projection of these mineralized zones. Further holes will test for new zones of mineralization in the Mina La Bocona and the North Skarn zones and will test other geophysical and geochemical targets outboard of the Central Intrusion.

Defiance Silver Corp. is pleased to report that results from a further three holes drilled in its Phase I core drilling program on the San Acacio deposit have extended the wide, high grade mineralization encountered in the first three holes eastward by 100m. Phase I is designed to test for a continuation of mineralization at depth and along strike beyond the current resource and the workings of the past producing San Acacio mine.

Timmins Gold Corp. is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced drifting into the underground veins parallel to the south wall of the San Francisco pit.
