CEO John Lawrence said “We are excited to start the shakedown of the Los Juarez pilot plant in Q4 2018 and to continue construction of the 400-ton mill. We expect to announce our progress on several additional strategic and financial opportunities that do not involve dilution of any kind.”

“This deal continues us on our path towards establishing a strong presence in the Oaxaca region of Mexico,” said Dusan Berka, CEO of Megastar Development. “Coupled with our earlier announced deal, Megastar has put together a strong portfolio of prospective exploration assets situated in between two currently producing mines. As well, working with David Jones, a geologist with a long history of success in Mexico, gives us a strong technical base upon which to commence our activities down there.”

“We would like to express our gratitude to the Federal and Chihuahua State authorities in Mexico for their support and rapid deployment of resources to secure the access roads to our Dolores mine, and we will continue to work closely with them as we move forward,” said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Auxico Resources Canada Inc. (CSE:AUAG) is pleased to announce that the Company has discovered three historical mines containing unrecognized shafts and pits located along the Zamora Vein, including the La Campeona mine, which returned 30 cm of 10.1 g/t gold and 941.7 g/t silver. These discoveries extend the Zamora Vein and the parallel El Obatel Vein over a strike length of at least 800 metres. The Zamora Silver-Gold Property located in Sinaloa, Mexico, and is 100% owned by Auxico Resources Canada.

J.D. Poliquin, chairman of Almaden stated, “These further results demonstrate the potential for an important new mineralised zone well outside of the PFS pit and resource area. These results also show the potential for further discoveries within the project area and for the Ixtaca mine plan to grow with continued exploration. Ongoing drilling will continue to seek more such zones even as the engineering work and the Feasibility Study progress.”
