Defiance Silver Corporation is pleased to report the results of the first three holes of its Phase I core drilling program on the San Acacio Deposit. Phase I is designed to test for a continuation of mineralization to depth below the current resource and the workings of the past producing mine.

Aura Silver Resources Inc. is pleased to report that recent exploration has defined major gold and silver trends comprising untested definitive drill targets adjacent to, and on strike with its defined silver/gold resource in Mexico. These results are based on the 2014 exploration program carried out on its 73% owned East Taviche property in Oaxaca State, Mexico. Results are based on a Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon analysis (interpreted by Activation Laboratories Inc. or “Actlabs”) of a soil sampling survey conducted during this program. Results have identified several possible extensions to the current silver/gold resource (refer to 2011 NI 43-101 Technical Report available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com). Diagrams depicting the Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon anomalies relative to the current defined resource are as follows:

Almaden Minerals Ltd. is pleased to announce that Duane and Morgan Poliquin were formally presented with the 2014 Colin Spence Award at last night’s Celebration of Excellence Gala hosted by The Association for Mineral Exploration, British Columbia (AME-BC). The Colin Spence Award recognizes excellence in global mineral exploration.

Gold Resource Corporation today provided an update with new Switchback drill highlights at its El Aguila Project in Mexico. Gold Resource Corporation is a gold and silver producer with operations in Oaxaca, Mexico and exploration in Nevada, USA.

GREAT PANTHER SILVER LIMITED is releasing the final results of the 2014 drill program at its San Ignacio satellite mine, which is part of the Company’s wholly-owned Guanajuato Mine Complex in Guanajuato, Mexico. The 3,728 metre surface drill program successfully extended the continuity of high grade silver-gold mineralization for approximately 300 metres south of present mining activities. Results are highlighted by a 13.82 metre (11.72 metres true width) intersection in hole ESI14-140 assaying 4.99g/t gold and 194g/t silver.

Las empresas de la industria minera destinaron 792 millones de dólares a la compra de maquinaria y equipo nuevo en 2014, una cifra 40 por ciento menor a la registrada en 2013, cuando invirtieron mil 323 millones de dólares en este rubro.

Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. further to the Company’s press release of January 5th, 2015 in which Santacruz advised that a pipeline connecting the Rosario Mine tailings impoundment to a secondary settling pond ruptured causing water and tailings material to be discharged outside of the tailings treatment system, the Company provides the following update.

Guerrero Ventures Inc. is pleased to provide results of the recently completed maiden diamond drill program at its Biricu Project in the Guerrero Gold Belt, Guerrero State, Mexico. Highlights of the drilling program include a drill intersection of 26.98 metres (m) grading 1.07 g/t gold and 0.29 g/t silver at the Punto Rojo target. The interval includes a zone of 6.85m grading 2.78 g/t gold and 0.92 g/t silver. Drilling at Punto Rojo has to date outlined an area with a minimum strike length of 700m and minimum depth extent of 600m of strongly hornfelsed and selectively skarn altered Mezcala sediments, intrusive units as well as a breccia unit. All units exhibit strong similarities in composition and alteration to productive units encountered in other exploration and mining operations in the prolific Guerrero Gold Belt.

Mexus Gold US gave an update on its flagship property and its plans for 2015. For the past several months, Mexus has been in discussions with multiple companies on the potential to joint venture the project. Unfortunately, the offers that were received fell short of what the company and shareholders would expect. These offers, if accepted, would have tied the property up for years while the partner company did exploratory drilling with an unknown timeline on production. In addition, the initial investment being asked by Mexus was not being met. Mexus will continue to be open to any joint venture possibilities that arise.
