San Marco’s CEO, Bob Willis stated: “As we continue preparations to drill our 1068 copper, molybdenum and gold porphyry system, ongoing corporate strategic planning relating to new acquisitions and joint ventures could lead to significant opportunities for our shareholders.

GFM Resources Limited is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exploration and evaluation agreement with Minera Auricup, S. de R.L. for exclusive access to conduct exploration and evaluation of the merits of a mineral concession of Auricup’s Baviácora concession, located in the state of Sonora, Mexico.

J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, “We are very excited to report these first assays from the very northern part of the large Villa Rica Zone. We believe that these results are proof of large scale porphyry potential in this part of the project. While we have demonstrated the potential for a significant deposit with our Norte drilling, today’s first pass results at Raya Tembrillo clearly show that we are dealing with a large cluster of porphyry systems all of which hold the potential to be important porphyry copper-gold deposits.”
