Source Exploration Corp. is pleased to report that step-out drilling at the Santa Cruz target at the Las Minas project in Mexico has intersected high-grade mineralization along-strike from that previously discovered in hole LM-11-SC-45, within the larger halo of copper-gold mineralization at Las Minas. As previously reported, hole LM-SC-45 returned an intercept of 15.89 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) 12.98 grams per tonne silver (g/t Ag) and 2.25 percent copper (% Cu) over 10.0 metres. Step-out drilling has returned significant gold values as well as some of the highest grade silver and copper intercepts recorded to date. The higher grade mineralization appears to be closely associated with skarn-type alteration with high magnetite content ranging up to 90% by volume. A detailed magnetic geophysical survey has been initiated in an effort to better define future drill targets.
Sundance Minerals Ltd. announced today the initiation of Phase 1 drilling at the San Ricardo Gold Project located within the prolific porphyry and epithermal gold-silver-copper belt of northern Sonora State, Mexico. The program consists of approximately 800 meters of diamond drilling in the Santa Cruz Target, one of the multiple targets within Sundance’s 38,100 hectares property. The drilling will be carried out by Falcon Perforaciones of Hermosillo, Mexico under the supervision of Sundance geologists.

Excalibur Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has initiated a regional exploration work program on the claims owned by its 49% owned subsidiary Minera Catanava S.A. de C.V. which is 51% owned by Minera Apolo S.A de C.V. In parallel with the results of ‘bulk samples’ processed through the recently completed gravimetric plant, the focus of the work program is to systematically map, sample and drill the current areas of mining, namely the Camino and San Gil veins, as well as the future areas of production and mineralized zones in order to establish an NI 43-101 compliant resource. Continuous chip channel sampling of veins in underground workings and at surface will be a key component of the work program.
