Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT stated, “We look forward to commencing a solid relationship with Samsung, one of the most recognizable brands in the electronics and consumer products world, and providing ethically sourced silver-lead-zinc concentrate which will go into the hands of millions of customers and end-products around the globe.”
Hole 22 exhibits our best zinc and lead values to date. commented Ruben Padilla, Vice President of Exploration for Sable. We are very happy to have identified a new vein in the hanging wall of the margarita structure with this hole.
Riversides President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: The Sandy Project was a project the Company staked over a prospective area known to us from our past work in Sonora. We are pleased with the results from our first pass on the Sandy Project. Gold appears associated with large structures, intrusions and is an exciting potential step in the geologic deposit modeling for Sonora. We plan to follow up these positive results with some mapping and more sampling in 2019.
We made good operational improvements at Platosa during 2018, though lower metal prices and higher electricity prices during the second half of the year were a significant headwind on the business, stated Brendan Cahill, President and CEO. During 2019, we intend to continue increasing productivity and focusing on cost reduction by accessing lower electricity rates through the private market and improving our milling operation. During Q4, electricity accounted for 38% of our operating cost lowering this input is an important opportunity. In this metal price and cost environment, we simply must do better.
J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Azucar commented, We are pushing on with our comprehensive two year intensive drill program at the El Cobre project. The results so far have shown that the property hosts multiple porphyry centres over a five kilometre strike. We look forward to reporting drill results as the program continues.
Reconnaissance exploration recently completed at the Mecatona Property was successful in the discovery of a previously unknown silver, copper, gold zone hosted in pervasive skarn-altered Lower Cretaceous turbidites of the Mezcalera Group. Silver, copper, gold and anomalous cobalt mineralization is distributed in a 200 by 400 meter zone with apparent uniformity. Highlights of the program include 51 samples (29 chips averaging 1 meter in length, 17 grabs and 5 dump) taken across the new zone returning silver values averaging 110 gpt with a high of 486 gpt silver. Additional highlights of all samples taken within the mineralized zone include 12 of 51 samples grading > 100 gpt silver with 86% returning values greater than 20 gpt silver.
We are enthusiastic to have Craig leading the geologic team at Pino de Plata, stated Karl Boltz, CEO of Silver Spruce. He is a top-notch geologist and has extensive experience running successful exploration programs in remote locations. Dr. Gibson will be on site to determine the best drill collar locations and orientations for the upcoming drill program to maximize the potential success of the program. This is an important and low cost step to prudently prepare for the expensive drilling activities, slated to commence later this spring.
The Company will use the proceeds of the financing to fund a focused drill program at the Cecilia Gold Project, additional project acquisitions and further target refinement on existing projects to advance towards new partnerships.
Solaris intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to advance exploration permitting at its mineral claims and for general and working capital purposes.
With intercepts of over 48m of multi-ounce values, near surface, these infill holes build our confidence in the continuity, grade and overall potential at Margarita, commented Ruben Padilla, Vice President of Exploration for Sable.
