N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng and CEO, remarked, “With this discovery of the Babicanora Norte Vein, we continue to show the increased potential for more near-surface high-grade mineralized veins. This is now the 11th high-grade vein we have discovered in the district. This vein is located adjacent and parallel to the Babicanora Vein which contains a majority of the maiden resource estimate. We recently identified this untested vein and strategically drilled it for high-grades which were discovered in our second drill hole (BAN18-02, intercepting 1.5 metres grading 9.11 gpt gold and 1,033.3 gpt silver, or 1,716 gpt AgEq*). This successful strategy required projecting the known high-grade footprint of the adjacent Babicanora Vein along with geologic constraints to the untested Babicanora Norte Vein. With six drills currently operating, we continue to aggressively drill-test the Babicanora Norte Vein and several other untested veins using the model of “Nature of Multiples”; that is, find one high-grade footprint in a vein and apply the same controls to the next nearby vein.”

La construcción del proyecto Juanicipio, iniciará después de ser aprobado por el Consejo de Administración, se pretende arrancar en los próximos dos a tres meses.

“Our priority is the safety and security of our personnel. We have been monitoring the situation, and with the recent incidents that have occurred along the access roads, we have determined the prudent course of action is to suspend personnel movements to and from the mine until the roads are safe for our employees,” said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

El secretario general de Gobierno, Sergio César Alejandro Jáuregui Robles, señaló que esta tarde se realizará una nueva reunión con la empresa canadiense Pan American Silver Corporation que opera la Mina de Dolores, en el municipio de Madera, a fin de evitar el cierre permanente de sus actividades.

“Project Fenix shows that El Gallo has the potential to be retooled to produce silver and gold for years into the future. The current heap leach gold mine would transform first to a mill and process the residual heap leach pad material, then additional mill modifications would enable processing of silver and gold ores from four other deposits. This plan depends on innovative in-pit tailings disposal that we think is a win-win for all stakeholders. Over the coming quarters we intend to advance environmental permitting and refine our plans with a feasibility study before making an investment decision next year,” said Rob McEwen, Chairman and Chief Owner
