Bradford Cooke, CEO of Endeavour Silver, commented, “We look forward to commissioning El Compas as our fourth operating mine over the next two months. Following the commissioning phase, the mine should generate robust economic returns at current metal prices because the two known mineralized zones ,El Compas and El Orito, are relatively shallow and high grade. The operation is very scalable if we discover new orebodies or purchase additional mineral resources in the Zacatecas district and refurbish the second ball mill to increase plant throughput to more than 500 tpd.”

“We are excited to partner with Coeur on the Sarape project, and this transaction represents our seventh active exploration partnership” commented Evrim’s CEO, Paddy Nicol. “Like the Ermitaño project, Sarape exhibits large outcropping veins up to six kilometres in length and has never been drill tested. The exploration of Sarape to date has focused on the recognition of textures within the veins at surface which commonly occur above concealed high-grade ore-shoots.”

Commenting on the upcoming drilling campaign, Azure’s Managing Director, Mr Tony Rovira said, “Our first drilling program at Sara Alicia returned one of the thickest and highest-grade cobalt drill intersections reported from anywhere in the world in 2017.”

El pasado 1° de febrero a las 5 p.m. la mina sonorense El Chanate, de Alamos Gold, cumplió 5,000,000 de Horas Hombre sin Incidentes con Tiempo Perdido, equivalentes a 1,135 días o 3 años y 39 días, un logro nunca alcanzado en ningún sector económico en Mexico y pocas veces visto en el mundo. John McCluskey, CEO de alamos Gold, declaró: “Este es el fruto de fomentar entre todo el personal que labora en la familia de Alamos Gold una actitud de liderazgo a favor de la seguridad en el trabajo, con miras a fijar permanentemente el compromiso de cuidarse personalmente y proteger a sus compañeros. Muchas felicidades por este resultado ejemplar”.

Mexus CEO Paul Thompson added, “The Santa Elena results to date are disappointing. We were expecting to be producing a significant amount of gold by now. I’m hopeful that MarMar will get the job done as we know that there is gold on the leach pad and on the property in general. I will get updates to our shareholders as we receive additional information. I’m optimistic that MarMar has the right staff on site to get the gold from the leach pad. We are pushing forward with our other properties and the outlook for these is extremely promising. You can see that our first target is the Ures property. Getting production from this property will give Mexus the much needed revenue stream to allow for a build out on all of our properties.”
