“This new area, although relatively small, gives us the opportunity to understand the nature of the mineralization in the northern part of the mine which was extracted prior to Starcore purchasing the mine. We expect this perception to aid us in our endeavours to expand reserves and resources to the north.” said Robert Eadie, President and CEO of the Company.

Jorge A. Ganoza, President and CEO of Fortuna, commented, “I would like to commend the superb work done by our team in delivering the construction and commissioning of the San Jose Mine expansion to 3,000 tpd on-time and under-budget.” Mr. Ganoza continued, “Post expansion, the San Jose Mine will rank among the world’s top thirteen primary silver producing mines with an estimated AISC below US$7.0 per ounce of silver.”

Mr. Alain Lambert, Chairman and CEO of the Cyprium commented: “We are very pleased that it took only six months and less than a million dollars to return the Potosi Mine to production. This nicely validates Cyprium’s business plan of acquiring and inexpensively restoring past producing mines to generate cash flow for expanded development and exploration.” Mr. Lambert added: “We believe that the larger Santo Domingo mineralized body located at level 9, 10 and 11 of the mine – also known as the Main Silicate Body – has good exploitation potential and having started production of the Tunel body, evaluation and preparations for exploiting the Santo Domingo body will assume top priority.”

David Coburn, CEO of Gainey, commented, “We are extremely pleased with the drilling progress at the La Nueva Victoria mineralized zone thus far. We look forward to publicly disseminating the assay results as soon as they become available.”

“The soil sample results confirm the high potential of the Coronado property. While Wealth’s focus is on lithium assets in Chile, there remains considerable value in our Mexican and Peruvian assets. Targeted work can unlock that value for shareholders.” stated Tim McCutcheon, Wealth’s President.
