Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “For a junior exploration company with a tiny market valuation we have a lot on the go. At our 100% owned Tabasquena silver mine in Mexico, we are planning a geophysical survey together with a follow up drill program. The well known Milagros silver mine lies approximately 8 kilometres to the south east of the Tabasquena mine. We believe that these two mines lie on the same structure.

President and chief executive officer Allan Barry Laboucan said: “In the past year we expanded our Mexican portfolio from having six lithium prospective salars, to an additional seven salars and then staked nearly one million acres over three very large salars. All of these salars are 100-per-cent-owned Alset projects. We look at it as two main project regions, with a southern cluster of 13 salars in the states of Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi, and the second much larger northern cluster in the state of Coahuila. The salars that make up the southern cluster are the most advanced, with enough historical data and recent work to be able to complete a number of mineral resource estimates. These are the three mentioned earlier which include our largest salar, the highest-grade lithium salar and the salar with the highest-grade lithium sample in the southern cluster. We are excited to be able to complete initial mineral resource estimates on these three salars. This work will help provide scope to the tonnage potential of these three salars and help lead our future work on exploration and development of all our lithium prospective salars in the southern cluster.”

Azure’s Managing Director, Mr Tony Rovira, said the strong investor support had significantly strengthened the balance sheet, and allowed for the continued exploration and development at Oposura and Sara Alicia. “I am very pleased with the strong support shown from institutions in North America, Europe and Australia. This heavily oversubscribed placement places Azure in a very strong position moving forward, as we work towards completing development studies at Oposura and fast-track exploration at the Sara Alicia gold and cobalt project. With both zinc and cobalt prices at decade highs, we believe that the Company is ideally placed to accelerate both Oposura and Sara Alicia towards development.”

“The technology described in the patent has potential application for the extraction of cobalt from a range of oxidised or non-sulphide deposits. Cobalt, an essential component of lithium ion batteries, is a core target metal for the commercialisation of our intellectual property and we now have patent protection coverage in Zambia, one of the world’s most prospective countries of patent use,” said Chief Executive Officer Martin Rosser.
