United States Antimony Corporation reported plans to increase Mexican mine production at three of its four mines in the next 30 days. USAC production is in a “sold out condition” and additional raw material is needed for the USAC smelter at Madero, Coahuila, Mexico.

A cinco años de su creación, son ya 82 las compañías afiliadas al Clusmin, “hemos avanzado mucho en un periodo muy corto de tiempo, el resultado se ve en estas juntas con la participación activa de todos, con el interés y la voluntad que se necesitan para que logremos lo que la minería requiere”.

Kootenay Silver President & CEO Jim McDonald states, “Drilling at Las Venadas was successful in identifying what we believe is a very significant new silver zone with potential to add to the La Cigarra silver resource count (see news releases August 30th, 2017Anchor and August 15th, 2017). Obviously we are looking forward to the follow up drill program on the new discovery once the current program is complete. Meanwhile we are excited to get the first ever drill holes into the La Navidad Zone, which offers considerable exploration upside given it’s similarities to the San Gregorio part of the deposit just 500 meters to the west.”

Brian Robertson, President and CEO stated, “The Phase 2 diamond drilling program marks the next phase of expanding the resource at the Las Minas project. We will be drilling three high-priority targets with known mineralization and well defined geophysical targets. It is becoming increasingly evident that there is a significant opportunity to expand the current resource as well as extend the footprint of the known mineralized zones.”

J. Alberto Arias, Chairman of the board of Sierra Metals, stated “we are delighted to have progressed discussions with Jinchuan to formalize of a memorandum of understanding and we are looking forward to accelerating the development of the Bahuerachi project in partnership with Jinchuan. We expect to be able to take advantage of the synergies in our operations at Bolivar, sharing our expertise and local know-how. We value our relationship with Jinchuan and foresee further growth opportunities for both companies working together in Mexico and Latin America.”

“We have produced excellent concentrates from of our first Tahuehueto ore preproduction at the Atocha Toll Mill achieving a significant overall increase in concentrate grade from previous concentrate production. Atocha milling has produced an average 42% lead concentrate containing 121 g/t gold and over 1 kg of silver/t plus an average 55.8% zinc concentrate with payable gold and silver contents ,” states Antonio Berlanga, Telson’s CEO, “and recoveries of all metals have also been significantly increased with total average payable recoveries of 83% gold, 89% silver 81.5% lead and 85% zinc. These current results have exceeded our expectations, markedly surpassing the results achieved beginning of this year from the Initial Bulk Sampled processed at the basically equipped Andes Mill.”

San Marco Resources Inc. announces the results and recommendations of recent exploration on its 1068 Project. The Project is an undrilled copper, molybdenum and gold porphyry system discovered from San Marco’s generative program.

“As metal prices rebound our strategic focus has been to continue to define and improve the Cordero Resource. We expect the 2017 drill results will extend an Au enriched sulphide zone from the Diatreme into the Dome that will have a positive effect on economic projections in the continuing starter pit analysis. The 2017 Resource infill drilling also adds to our exploration understanding of the deposit. Our next step is to provide a 2017 43-101 compliant Resource update to the market and continue the starter pit evaluation toward producing Preliminary Economic Assessment. We are pleased with the 2017 drill results and the improving metals market, which fit our plans to improve Levon shareholder value. We believe Cordero, our 100% owned key asset, is a remarkable project with upside continuing to be realized” says Ron Tremblay, President and CEO.

Neil Woodyer, CEO stated “We have been steadily advancing the development of the Bermejal Underground as an expansion project at our Los Filos mine, and the start of the portal and ramp is a significant achievement within our initial six months of ownership. The contribution from underground mining at Bermejal will add approximately 150,000 ounces per year to the operation and bring the combined production rate to 350,000 ounces per year once fully operational.”

Juan de Dios Magallanes, director de Minas de la Secretaría de Economía de Gobierno del Estado precisó sobre el proyecto minero de la empresa canadiense Oro Silver Ltd., que informó el pasado 13 de septiembre la alcaldesa Judit Guerrero López se asentará en la capital del estado, que sí se trata de la reactivación de la mina El Compás que se ubica en la comunidad de El Orito, y que tuvo su más reciente actividad de explotación hace 30 años.
