Greg Bronson, President of BNN states: “We are encouraged by these additional drill results that expand the copper mineralization found in the Sonora Copper zone and point to a significant copper mineralized block that is open in three directions that can be further enlarged through additional drilling.”

Rick Trotman, President and CEO of Barksdale, commented: “The results of the San Javier column leach testing program have demonstrated strong recoveries of oxide copper while also shedding considerable light on the potential for a low-cost style operation that doesn’t require agglomeration and has low acid consumption.”

Benjamin Hill Mining President Greg Bronson stated: “The El Fierro area hosts several prospective mineralized veins that have returned encouraging copper and gold assays from near surface intervals. Additionally, good gold assays at depth confirm a metals enriched hydrothermal system that merits further investigation”.

“The Napoleon southern extension continues to be the primary target for near-term resource growth within the Napoleon Vein Corridor,” commented Michael Konnert, President and CEO.

Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Kunz commented, “The high-grade drill results reported today will continue to expand the resource potential at Guadalupe East considerably. We are encouraged by multiple intercepts of high-grade gold-silver mineralization being encountered in individual drill holes on the west end of this area.”

“This advancement of the Nicho Main Zone is a significant and positive development and the final major milestone in the ramp-up of operations at Santana. The development of the second and larger pit will provide access to the main source of known mineralization at the project supplementing current starter pit operations and allowing the Company to ultimately exit the project’s pre-commercial phase of production. ” stated Darren Koningen, CEO.

“Drilling southeast of our Main Zone continues to return excellent gold and silver values in intensely silicified breccia-hosted mineralization.”, commented Brodie Sutherland, CEO.

Mel Herdrick, Sonoro’s Vice President of Exploration, noted that “I continue to be encouraged by the results of the Phase IV drilling campaign which has returned multiple higher-grade intercepts and demonstrated resource growth potential near surface and at depth.”

Greg Liller, Sierra Madre´s Executive Chairman and Chief Operating Officer commented, “Based on my experience with running the La Guitarra mine and overseeing the district´s first large-scale exploration program, I have always believed La Guitarra is one of the largest undeveloped silver opportunities in Mexico.”

Bill Pincus, Chief Executive Officer and Director stated: “We have successfully completed targeting based on remote image interpretation and are now actively engaged in the field sampling and mapping new areas at our flagship Santa Daniela gold project. The work completed so far has been yielding positive results and we remain on track to identify new drill targets by year-end.”
