Glenn Jessome, President and CEO of Oceanus reports, “The high gold and silver grades intersected in drill hole ET-17-144 are reminiscent of the bonanza silver and gold grades mined underground in the 1920’s and 1930’s at the old El Tigre mine which is 800 meters to the south. Surface mapping shows that the Protectora vein and alteration zone, that has not been mined, extends along strike to the north from the old El Tigre mine for 1,500 meters. This 1,500 meter long extension presents a new exploration target to find additional near surface mineralization. Our recent step-out drill results to the north and south are very encouraging.”

BHP Billiton Ltd., the world’s biggest mining company, is studying the introduction of giant, automated cargo ships to carry everything from iron ore to coal as part of a strategic shift that may disrupt the $334 billion global shipping industry.

Edward Stringer, CEO of Colibri is quoted as saying, “We are most encouraged by the presence of widespread gold encountered by Agnico Eagle in the recent drilling at our Pitaya joint venture project.  We look forward to receiving additional drill results as they arrive.”

Ramon Perez, CEO of Candelaria, stated: “This strategic investment by Agnico, one of the world’s top gold producers, is a strong endorsement of the quality and potential of Candelaria’s Caballo Blanco gold project. We are excited to have this investment to allow us to initiate on our strategic objectives, principally intended to expand and upgrade the Caballo Blanco resource.”

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “We are pleased with the consistency and exploration values exceeding previous sampling in these areas on the Cecilia Project. The high-grade gold and silver assays at the North Breccia and Central zones of Cerra Magallanes validates our precious metal flow-dome model and brings us a step closer to a potential discovery. We are in the field continuing exploration at Cecilia and anticipate additional results in the near future as we strive to develop a mineral discovery for our shareholders.”

Bradford Cooke, Endeavour CEO and Director, stated: “We are very happy to add these new properties to our exploration portfolio in Zacatecas. The two transactions confirm there are good opportunities to consolidate a larger mineral land position in Zacatecas, one of the largest historic silver mining districts in Mexico. Drilling is now underway at the Calicanto properties and we expect to permit and drill the Veta Grande properties later this year.”

IMPACT Silver Corp. announces that it has sold its Zacatecas assets to Endeavour Silver Corp. for 154,321 common shares of Endeavour with a deemed value of US$500,000. The Zacatecas assets consist of 10 mineral concessions covering 152 hectares, 14 hectares of surface rights, the old inactive Santa Gabriela 200 tonne per day processing plant and tailings facilities. IMPACT has carried out only minimal work in Zacatecas since 2009 and management took this opportunity to monetize these non-active assets and allow management to better focus its time on its silver production assets at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan and new ventures.

Santana Minerals Limited is pleased to advise that after the completion of necessary earthworks a new program of reverse circulation drilling has now commenced at the Company’s flagship Cuitaboca Project in Sinaloa, Mexico.
