Arturo Bonillas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Magna, stated, “We are extremely pleased with the outcome of this study, which validates our view of value and leverage for San Francisco when we acquired the mine earlier this year. This marks an important milestone for Magna as it provides us with a base case operating plan from which we can drive ongoing optimization, growth, and near-term value creation.”

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “The more drilling and geophysical work we do, the more it becomes clear we are looking at a big sulphide system at Tabasquena.”

Lawrence Page, Q.C., Southern Silver’s President and Director, stated: “Sole ownership of the CLM Project inclusive of the significant resources developed to date allows us great latitude in developing the Project for substantial resource growth. The Transaction also provides a 150% increase in attributable resources which is highly accretive to Southern Silver shareholders. An extensive diamond drill program will begin within the next two weeks designed to develop previously identified mineralization east of the intrusion for ultimate inclusion into the existing resource calculation.”

GR Silver Mining President and CEO, Marcio Fonseca, commented, “We continue to encounter evidence of a large hydrothermal system at the Plomosas Mine Area with the identification of wide mineralized intervals or high grade zones representing mulltiple mineralization styles and events.”
