Pete Dougherty, President and CEO of Argonaut Gold stated, “I am proud of what the team has accomplished. We had a record year of production as a Company. We met our production guidance for the year, even with lower grades than planned at El Castillo. At La Colorada, throughput and production exceeded expectations. We were able to increase cash on the balance sheet in the second half of the year and were only slightly down year-over-year, even after the $20 million final payment to complete the purchase of the San Agustin project. We expect to make a construction decision on this project in the latter part of 2016. We were able to negotiate key contracts and streamline the business to allow us to plan for fully loaded costs (including operating, capital, taxes and corporate administrative costs) to be less than $1,000 per ounce for 2016. This gives us tremendous leverage to a rise in gold price..”

San Marco Resources Inc. announces it proposes to carry out, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, a private placement of up to 3,000,000 units at $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $150,000.

Fred Davidson, President and CEO, stated, “Our production performance during the fourth quarter 2015 continues to demonstrate IMPACT Silver’s success and viability as a proven explorer and producer as it continues to manage its costs and mining grades. With a decade of production history, this quarter we continue to generate some of the highest grades in the Company’s history at 190 g/t silver. Despite lower silver prices persisting in 2015, our focus on profitability and higher grade zones of silver especially at San Ramon and Mirasol resulted in revenue per tonne of $91.68 compared to $68.75 in the comparative quarter for 2014. IMPACT is currently free from long-term debt and our operations are primarily funded by production cash flow. However, if the price of silver remains at current low levels, the Company may consider opportunities to improve its balance sheet and fund future developments through financing and/or acquisition or merger.”
