Dale Wallster, CEO of Southern Empire, stated, “With more than 40 years of gold exploration expertise, much of it at Barrick Gold Corporation, and an incredible track record of discovery, Larry brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our Southern Empire team. Given his exceptional understanding of the geology of Carlin-type and other epithermal gold deposits, Larry will bring particular expertise to the ongoing exploration and evaluation of our Pedro Gold Project in México.”
Mike Struthers, CEO, commented: “We are pleased to start this infill program at our Pinos project. Drilling is expected to commence within a few days.”
Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. has completed three diamond drill holes on the Sonora Gold project. This inaugural drill campaign consists of 34 exploration drill holes spread over four mineralized areas (Sonora Copper, El Fierro, Caracahui, La Salada). The goal of the inaugural program is to intercept and delimit mineralized structures, to better define alteration footprints and to explore for the source of mineralization.
Southern Empire reports, “Drilling is progressing well, with 3 holes totalling 421 metres completed and a fourth hole, which targets an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical anomaly where strongly oxidized, hematitic volcanic cover rocks have been mapped has started.”
Hernan Dorado, Director and COO said: “We are very pleased with the swift pace with which we have brought the combined El Cubo and El Pinguico operation back into commercial production. The ongoing ramp-up, and continual improvements of tonnes mined and processed, head grade, and metallurgical recoveries is continuing.”
“Operationally the Zimapan Mine had an excellent year as we were able to increase throughput by 17% compared to 2020. This production increase compensated for production losses realized by placing the Rosario Mine into care and maintenance during the year.” commented Carlos Silva, CEO.
“This recognition validates our commitment to our purpose, to create value through sustainable and responsible mining. ESG is woven into the fabric of our company and is fundamental to the way in which we operate,” said Tom Palmer, President and CEO of Newmont.
The Transaction will be effected by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Upon completion of the Transaction, the new company will be named Capstone Copper Corp.
“El litio lo va a explotar la nación”, dijo al ser consultado sobre los permisos en Sonora. “Para que se entienda bien: no es ni siquiera del Gobierno o del Estado. El litio es del pueblo y de la nación mexicana”.
