Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “We continue to be encouraged by the results of the geochemical and geophysical surveys completed to date at the Glor Project, which show positive indications of an orogenic gold system. The quartz-sericite alteration, veining and deformation styles are similar to such features commonly seen at Sonoran orogenic gold deposits, including the nearby Chanate Gold Mine. We now look forward to further results from the current trenching and structural mapping program, with plans in place to drill in 2017.”

Kootenay President and CEO, James McDonald states, “We are very pleased with results from the 13 holes of our current drill program on La Negra with Pan American. The confirmation of additional, multiple zones of high-grade silver mineralization within a 600 meter strike length of the breccia, remaining open at depth, further underscores the future development potential of La Negra’s contained silver resource. We are excited with the continued success at La Negra and look forward to receiving results from the remaining four holes of the program.”

Warren Rehn, President and Chief Executive Officer of Golden Minerals, commented, “We are pleased with the results of this independently?prepared PEA, as it presents a low cost and profitable operation at current metals prices. If we go ahead with the project, production at Santa Maria would mark Golden’s re?emergence as a producer of close to one million silver equivalent ounces annually, with the potential to move the company to positive net cash flow. We believe there is also excellent potential for expansion of the project which could lead to continued production beyond the initial three?year period considered in the PEA.”

Thomas Atkins, President and CEO of Mammoth commented on this agreement and investment stating: “The Company has built a strong relationship with this drill contractor and the senior executive of this contracting firm, himself having studied and worked as a geologist, upon seeing the potential of the Tenoriba property was keen to consider a structure whereby his firm could assist us in the challenge of raising capital for drilling while at the same time gain some exposure to the success of the drill program and the advancement of exploration at Tenoriba. We think this can be a win-win situation and are very pleased to arrive at such an agreement. Following the field program which is expected to start shortly at Tenoriba and will include trenching and road access and pad construction to facilitate drilling, Mammoth hopes to begin an approximate 2,500 diamond drill program to test various targets on the property. As a result of this agreement with the contractor the Company will be required to raise far less capital in the equity market for this program. We’re equally pleased that the contractor has shown confidence in the Company and the Tenoriba project by investing in the recently announced Private Placement.”

“We are very happy to have traced wide, high-grade mineralization in the Valdecañas Deep Zone West nearly to the western property boundary and see that the Anticipada Vein is fleshing out to significant size”, said George Paspalas, President and CEO of MAG. “Perhaps more exciting though are the numerous high gold values we’re seeing at depth, especially in the Deep Zone East. People think of Juanicipio as a high-grade silver project and now it appears to be shaping up into a sizable gold asset as well”.

Mr. Francis Biscan Jr., President of Firma Holdings Corp., stated, “We are very fortunate to have secured a project that can provide a significant source of near term revenue for our company and simultaneously help the small scale mining community of Durango.”
