Oroco Resource Corp. announces that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Minera Xochipala S.A. de C.V. has been served with notice of an “amparo” petition seeking to overturn the registration to MX by the Mexican Public Registry of Mining of an interest in the Celia Gene and Celia Generosa mineral concessions located in Guerrero State, Mexico. The registration process in question began with an application by MX in March, 2008 to the PRM for registration of its 2007 acquisition of the Xochipala Concessions, including the interest purchased from the estate of a Mexican citizen, Hector Camacho (the “Camacho Estate”), which constituted fifty percent (50%) of the Celia Gene concession and all (100%) of the Celia Generosa concession.

Almaden Minerals Ltd. is pleased to announce further results from the on-going exploration drill program at the Company’s 100% owned Tuligtic project, Mexico with holes TU-12-176, 181, 186, 188 to 195, 197 to, 200, 203, 205, 206, 209 and 216. The holes were drilled as part of Almaden’s on-going four drill exploration program which has been designed to enable the calculation of a preliminary resource estimate. The intersections reported today demonstrate the continuity of the known mineralisation as well as the presence of high grades locally. Highlights from the holes released today include the following intercepts:

Southridge Enterprises Inc. is pleased to announce the arrival and commencement of drilling by the third drill rig at the Company’s Gran Cabrera Gold & Silver Mining Properties in Mexico.

AuRico Gold Inc. is pleased to provide an update on its exploration program at the El Chanate mine located in Sonora, Mexico.

Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. announced today that it has received the final results from a large-scale,comprehensive metallurgical test program for its 100%-owned SanMiguel Project in northern Mexico. The results predict highrecoveries of gold and silver from either a milling/cyanide leach orconventional milling/flotation process. The data will now beevaluated by Scott E. Wilson Consulting for inclusion in theirPreliminary Economic Assessment of the San Miguel Project scheduledfor the end of this year.

Camino Minerals Corporation is pleased to announce that it has selected Major Drilling Group International Incorporated to carry out a 2,000 metre reverse circulation drill program at the El Secreto Gold, Silver and Copper Project located in Sinaloa State, Mexico. This will be the first ever drill program to be carried out at El Secreto. Drilling is expected to commence within the next several weeks.

Westminster Resources Ltd., which is trading near year lows, said it has successfully completed its 2012 Phase One $1.6 million exploration program at the Cumbral-San Bartolo property. Located in Sonora, Mexico, work included a 3D-Induced Polarization and ground magnetic geophysical survey covering 219 line kilometers of survey grid, over 5,000 soil geochemical samples, rock prospecting-geological mapping (over 700 samples) and a diamond drill program of seven holes (total 1,641 meters) on the Cumbral trend. The exploration program was funded by Capstone Mining Corp. in accordance with a $9.3 million agreement that was announced in April 2012.

Torex Gold Resources Inc. is pleased to report that the first two holes drilled into its Media Luna West target have returned high-value, gold-copper-silver mineralization of significant thickness. Borehole SS-06 delivered 14.6m with Au eq. grade of 8.76 g/t. Borehole MLW-04 delivered 39.4m with Au eq. grade of 4.00 g/t The Media Luna Area contains three magnetic anomaly targets that cover approximately 500 hectares. Media Luna West is the second of these targets to be drill tested and is located approximately 1.4 km to the west of the main Media Luna target. The third target is scheduled to be tested later in the drill program and as well, there are several other magnetic anomaly targets in close proximity to the Media Luna Area, at the Morelos Gold Project in Mexico.
