The Board of Directors of AIVN are pleased to announce the discovery of two new major auriferous zones on the concessions purchased on December 1, 2015. The Company completed the acquisition in Baja California of La Sorpressa, 90 hectares, La Sorpressa II, 265 hectares, La Sorpresa III, 71 hectares, Las III Fraccion 2 Frac I, 12 hectares, Las III Fraccion 2 Frac II, 12 hectares, Las III Fraccion 2 Frac III, 72 hectares, El Cid, 55.674 hectares, El Cid 1,72 hectares, Dolores, 1266.150 and M. Carter, 66.6054 hectares. The Company currently has a pilot plant mining operation at its La Sorpresa IV Property located in Baja California, Mexico. Presently, there are two Mexican mining companies showing interest in the Alamo and the Board of Directors recently turned down a Letter of Intent for $3,000,000 for 50% ownership of its subsidiary AIVN DE MEXICO.

Brian Robertson, President and CEO stated, “We are excited about these high- grade sample results. The high-grade, gold bearing veins on the Pueblo Nuevo concession occur along the same sill contact and are believed to be part of the same metallogenic system as the better-known Au-Cu skarn deposits a few kilometres away at Las Minas proper. We look forward to carrying out further sampling and drilling at this highly mineralized site.”

“The 2017 exploration program is off to a fantastic start,” said Americas Silver Chief Operating Officer Daren Dell. “Only five months into the year and we have new discoveries at the Galena Complex which will positively impact the mine plan in the near term and provide optimism for future resource growth. At Cosalá, a significant extension of the San Rafael Zone 120 mineralization combined with our existing El Cajón mine points toward a new development scenario where our silver-copper resource could support a production centre.”

Darren Koningen, President of Minera Alamos, commented: “this is a transformative announcement for Minera Alamos and marks the beginning of the next phase of our Mexican production and growth strategy. We are pleased to welcome Osisko as a significant shareholder of the Company and a strong partner to pursue near-term gold production at La Fortuna. We look forward to working with Osisko to fast-track La Fortuna toward production and expand our presence in Mexico organically and through additional acquisitions.”

Mexus Gold US. CEO Paul Thompson visited the Santa Elena mine on May 26th. During the visit he was able to witness the much anticipated arrival of the 4230 jaw crusher. As previously announced, this jaw crusher will enable the mine to increase production to 10,000 tons per day when operating at full capacity. It is expected that this increase in production will occur gradually as the machines performance is perfected. “Getting the jaw crusher on site is big deal to our mine operator and our shareholder base. I was thrilled to see the machine up close and getting readied for production,” added CEO Paul Thompson.

Prospero has selected a drill contractor for its planned 6,000m program on three projects. Drilling is scheduled to begin in late June.
