Akiba Leisman, Chairman and Interim CEO of Marlin states, “consistently mining high grade material at La Trinidad is transforming the Company. We went through another tough rainy season, which slowed production, but we couldn’t be more pleased with how the mine is performing now. To put this in perspective, October is a record month for placing gold onto the leach pad– a record we broke just 12 days into the month.”

“With well over a year of allocating Company resources to extend decline ramps to the Arista Mine’s Switchback vein system, we are pleased and excited to now be developing the Switchback veins,” stated Mr. Jason Reid, CEO and President of Gold Resource Corporation. “Using cash flow from operations, we have gained access to this exciting new area of the mine and can begin to see the much awaited return on our invested capital. I am optimistic the Arista Mine’s Switchback vein system could one day be as large as, or perhaps larger than, the Arista Mine’s Arista vein system, and that we may in the future find additional parallel vein systems like Arista and Switchback. It will require time and additional capital to fully determine the size of Switchback, but now cash flow from Switchback production can be leveraged in our endeavor to continue to expand this large epithermal system.”

Mammoth Resources Corp. is pleased to announce that it has commenced exploration activities at its Tenoriba precious metal project in the prolific Sierra Madre region of Chihuahua State, Mexico. The Company had previously announced as a partial use of proceeds from its recent $200,000 capital raise, that it intended to perform a systematic PIMA, X-ray diffraction ground survey. The program is now underway and company geologists are collecting samples every 100 metres along lines oriented approximately north-south, spaced 500 metres apart which will be analyzed for the presence of various alteration clay minerals typically found in association with a High Sulphidation precious metal system as is believed to exist at Tenoriba.

Glenn Jessome, President and CEO of Oceanus, commented “These drill results further exhibit wide oxidized zones of precious metals mineralization that outcrop at surface, supporting our hypothesis that El Tigre could be another significant bulk tonnage project in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico.”

Santana Minerals Limited is pleased to announce commencement of a 22 hole 2,800m (approx.) reverse circulation Drill program at the Cuitaboca Project in Sinaloa, Mexico.
