Tim Barry President & CEO of Silver Bull states, “The start of 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting one for Silver Bull. The exploration drill program targeting the sulphide mineralization provides a new aspect to the Sierra Mojada story which I believe will be transformative to the story if we are able to intercept any significant zones of sulphide. In addition with the strong recent performance and positive outlook for zinc, we now feel the time is right to push the zinc part of the Silver Bull story. Very few companies have zinc assets of the size and grade we have at Sierra Mojada, especially with the sort of infrastructure we have close by immediately adjacent to the project, and in a viable mining country like Mexico. When I consider the silver and zinc resource already defined at Sierra Mojada, coupled with the exploration upside, Silver Bull provides a unique opportunity for investors in both base and precious metals”.
Charles Funk, Evrim’s Vice President of New Opportunities and Exploration commented, “This is an exciting discovery for Evrim and its partner, First Majestic. The intercepts show significant widths within 240 metres from surface into the principal vein, located in a larger vein field. The mineralization is gold rich (relative to silver) and the high gold grades are evenly distributed across the drill intercepts. This discovery is very close to First Majestic’s Santa Elena mine and provides great potential for Evrim to realize Ermitaño’s value in the near term.”

Despite the challenges faced during the second quarter, our production was in line with our internal projections, and we expect similar results for 2017. The year was highlighted by the declaration of commercial production at the Avino Mine, as well as the publication of new resource estimates for our operations in Mexico and Canada. We are planning on issuing a news release in the coming days outlining our Mexico expansion plans as well as an agenda for reopening the Bralorne Mine,” David Wolfin, President, CEO & Director, Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd.
Pete Dougherty, President & CEO stated: Production at El Castillo normalized during the fourth quarter after a challenging third quarter, while La Colorada provided consistent production throughout 2016. The 34,384 GEOs of production during the fourth quarter represents our strongest quarter of the year and also is the largest quarterly production total since the second quarter of 2015. Im also pleased to report that construction at San Agustin is advancing on schedule and on budget. With first gold production from San Agustin targeted for the third quarter of this year and the following ramp up, we expect our highest quarterly production and lowest costs during the fourth quarter of 2017. Looking forward in terms of operations, we remain focused on operating in a safe and environmentally conscious manner while providing production growth over the next several years as we construct and ramp up operations at San Agustin.
