Radius Gold Commences Maiden Drilling Program at its Tropico Project

President & CEO Bruce Smith commented: “The Radius team is excited to have drilling underway at Tropico. We have been chasing this target for several years and now we can finally drill-test it. Fresnillo is one of the world’s greatest epithermal systems and to have optioned a gold bearing sinter and breccia pipe target within this district that has not yet been drill tested is remarkable.”

Vizsla Silver Intercepts 764 g/t AgEq Over 11.20 Metres at La Luisa and Commences Drilling the Shallow Horizon 500 Metres North

“La Luisa continues to impress with very high precious metals grades over increasingly broader widths,” commented Michael Konnert, President and CEO. “We have now expanded the high-grade mineralized footprint at La Luisa to ~700 metres along strike by 400 metres down dip and it remains open in all directions. Moreover, new drilling approximately 500 meters along strike to the north has discovered shallow vein mineralization believed to be the continuation of La Luisa.”

Sierra Madre Provides Update on La Guitarra Progress

Gregory K. Liller, Executive Chairman and Chief Operating Officer commented, “We are very pleased with the progress at La Guitarra since the March 2023 closing of the acquisition from First Majestic Silver. Work towards a new resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101 is underway, concurrent with evaluating historic cost data that would feed into a Mine Restart Study. On the ground, we are focused on preparing the mine, plant, and equipment for a prompt restart.”

Chesapeake Announces Metallurgical Testwork Update

Alan Pangbourne, CEO, commented, “We are very encouraged with the latest results from this phase of metallurgical testwork. A systematic, methodological approach individually testing several parameters under different conditions is being undertaken in 42 columns. The results have identified certain parameters that provide the conditions where the leach technology oxidizes mineralization at a faster rate than our previous testwork. Under these conditions, we believe the targeted oxidation curve will be achieved and provide the foundation for preparing the pre-feasibility study early next year.”

Heliostar Drills 33m Grading 16.4 g/t Gold and 9.5m Grading 25.6 g/t gold, Expands High Grade Panel at Ana Paula

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, “The Ana Paula project continues to deliver exceptional results. Drill results are exceeding expectations at every point. The widths of the intercepts, the consistency in the grades, and the improvements in drill intersections over the PFS resource continue to be impressive. As we better define the limits of the High Grade Panel, today from the down-plunge target area, we believe that there is a clearly significant potential for an increase in total ounces and grade in the upcoming resource update.”

Prime Releases High-Grade Drill Results from Two New Generative Targets at Los Reyes

Scott Smith, Executive Vice President of Exploration added, “We are successfully executing a two-pronged approach to exploration: firstly, drilling resource expansions at Z-T, Central and Guadalupe Zones, the three areas that form our current mineral resource estimate, and secondly, exploring a growing number of new, generative targets.”

Reyna Silver Drills Multiple New Native Silver Veins at Batopilas including 9 m at 616 g/t Silver

“We are delighted that the time and effort spent over the past year on the sampling program, structural studies, and geophysics has paid off with these high-grade silver discoveries,” said Jorge Ramiro Monroy, CEO of Reyna Silver. “Cutting new native silver structures -including one reporting 9 metres of over 600 g/t Silver- shows that a disciplined, district-scale approach to exploration can lead to discovery. Going forward our team will test this model against our upcoming drill targets in our campaign to search for the silver and gold veins of Batopilas.”

Torex Gold Reports Results From 2023 Drilling at EPO

Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO stated: “The geology of the Morelos Property continues to impress and support our strategy to enhance the production and cash flow profile beyond 2027 and extend the overall life of the Morelos Complex. The focus of our renewed investment in exploration and drilling is on expanding the resource potential of the Media Luna Cluster and making stand-alone discoveries across the broader Morelos Property.”
