The Brownfields exploration program budget for 2021 at the San Jose Mine is US$10.9 million, which includes 33,800 meters of diamond drilling and 1,770 meters of underground development for drilling access, platforms, and services.
At the San Antonio Gold Project, we have completed the engineering and permitting to process the gold mineralized stockpile via heap leaching. 35,000 meters exploration and infill drill program of the Sapuchi, Golfo de Oro and California Projects have been planned. We have established an initial exploration budget of approximately US$6 million for 2021.
Vizsla President and CEO, Michael Konnert, commented: “We continue to grow the area of mineralization at the Napoleon discovery in all directions with drilling. We are particularly encouraged with the wide zones remaining open in the deepest drilling. The greater Napoleon corridor has significant potential, and the Company continues to expand both the Napoleon zone and the Papayo zone and is adding rigs to systematically explore the entire 2.7 kilometre long vein corridor. Vizsla is well-funded as it continues its aggressive exploration of the Panuco district.”
Pete Dougherty, President and CEO stated: “2020 was a spectacular year for Argonaut, as we completed a merger, saw the conclusion of Schedule 2 amendment and executed on a financing plan for Magino’s development and achieved record quarterly production in our most recent quarter.”
“We are expecting a 35% increase in silver production relative to 2020 and record gold production in 2021, despite our assumption that COVID-19 will continue to have an impact on operations,” said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pan American.
“This is the first year of a multi-year growth phase for Capstone that will target 40% higher production with 15% lower costs by 2022, compared to last year’s guidance,” said Darren Pylot, President and CEO. “In the coming weeks, we will close the $150 million silver stream announced last month with Wheaton Precious Metals and it will allow Capstone to become debt free in 2021, while operating in this strong copper price environment.”
The Private Placement remains subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and is expected to close immediately prior to or concurrent with the Company’s acquisition of the El Cubo mine and mill complex.
Taj Singh, President and CEO, states: “We anticipate 2021 will be a transformative year where we firmly establish Cordero as one of the few silver projects globally that offers margin, size and scaleability. Our focus is to both de-risk the Project by delivering a technically robust PEA, and to deliver resource growth, by expanding known zones and making new discoveries.
“Substantial increases in mineral reserves and resources support my belief that South Arturo has the potential to grow for years to come,” Ewan Downie, President and CEO of Premier Gold Mines.
“Mexus continues mining at the Mexus III area where a potent shear zone is being followed. Assayed results are showing between .7 to 1.3 g/t Au with approximately 600 tons a day being moved to the crushing plant. Leaching continues to produce .2 to .35 ppm Au at 60 gpm producing 3 ozs per day which is expected to double by February 1st.”
