Carlos Silva, COO of Santacruz, stated “This drill program will allow Santacruz to establish a maiden resource estimate on the Veta Grande vein in the first half of 2018,” Mr. Silva continued “Following this Phase 1 program the Company’s plan is to broaden the exploration program along the northern strike of the Veta Grande vein as we are eager to test the strike extent of this important historical vein system.”

Thomas Atkins, President and CEO of Mammoth, commented on the initial drill results stating: “We’re very pleased with these initial results! The objective of this drilling is to test for the first time the depth extension of surface mineralization along a 6 kilometre trend identified by Mammoth. These initial results begin to confirm the continuity of potentially economical surface mineralization at depth along this trend.”

Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald stated “La Borracha is a very exciting target with the potential to add a significant number of new ounces to our resource. The zone has been traced on surface from the resource northward for at least 1,100 meters and the latest hole CC-17-37 indicates good grades and widths. The zone has seen very limited drilling and we are eager to commence the next round of drilling in the first half of February. “

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng and CEO, remarked: “2017 was a very successful year for SilverCrest with multiple high-grade discoveries at Las Chispas. We have now drilled over 40,000 metres in the district with our current focus on increasing the high-grade footprints of the Babicanora, Las Chispas, and Giovanni veins in preparation for the upcoming maiden resource in Q1. The Babicanora Vein will be the largest contributor to the resource with an impressive high-grade precious metal footprint of over 1.0 kilometre in strike length. Even with our aggressive exploration program in 2017, we have only partially drill-tested 3.5 kilometres of the known 12 cumulative kilometres (19 epithermal veins) in known vein strike length. After the announcement of the maiden resource in Q1 2018, we hope to continue to add value through further in-fill and expansion drilling, complete an updated resource in H2 of this year, and complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in H2 as well. Lastly, I would like to thank all of our shareholders and communities for their continuing support and we are looking forward to another exciting year for the Company.”

Brian Robertson, President and CEO commented, “These high – grade drill results over significant widths continue to expand the mineral resource and increase the grade for the El Dorado/ Juan Bran zone. The expanded resource and higher grades will have a positive impact on an updated resource estimate. The discovery of the high- grade dike contact mineralization also provides a model for exploring additional dike contact zones that are known to exist on the property.”

Telson Resources Inc. regrets to announce the death of an employee of Tuneles y Servicios GMS, S.A de C.V., a company contracted to conduct underground mining operations at the Tahuehueto project in Durango, Mexico.

Galore Resources Inc. At the request of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada, the Company wishes to clarify certain disclosures in its’ January 17, 2018 News Release. With respect to the announcement that it has entered into a 5-year contract with URBYASA” to extract available gold at Galore’s 100% owned Duraznillo Ranch, which includes the Los Gemelos and Duende 7 claims.

Oceanus Resources Corporation is pleased to report the 2017 fall exploration program drill results at its wholly owned El Tigre Gold-Silver Property located in northern Sonora, Mexico. The fall 2017 program comprised 600 meters of diamond drilling to define the strike and dip of the high-grade Caleigh vein and the low-grade alteration zone in the hanging wall.

Cameron King, Vangold CEO states, “This historic Phase One drill program is the first step in quantifying our assets, providing real time grade and quantity of AuEq ounces attributed to the stockpile. The core samples will provide confirmation of El Pinguico’s high grade historical production and support the earlier geological work, where trenching sample assays exceed in some areas, grades in the range of 15 g/t gold and 1,400 g/t silver. Upon completion of Phase One drilling, the core assays will significantly contribute with the 43-101 resource calculation and value of the UG stockpile.”

“We are excited by the grades and widths returned by Hole 7”, stated Stephen Maynard, VP Exploration of Minaurum. “As only the second hole ever drilled outside of the historic core of the district, it confirms our “piano-key” structural model and opens the door for drilling throughout the nearly untouched down-dropped blocks located on both sides of the up-thrown La Quintera-Promontorio block. With these results, we have now encountered significant mineralization in every target drilled in our initial drill program including; Minas Nuevas, Promontorio, Nueva Europa, Gap, and Europa-Guadalupe.”
