Azures Managing Director, Mr Tony Rovira said: The discovery of gold at Loma Bonita in such close proximity to the Companys Mesa de Plata silver deposit was very exciting. These positive metallurgical test results are highly encouraging and indicate that Loma Bonita has the potential to add significant value to any future combined production with Mesa de Plata.
Pan American Silver Corp. today announced that it has achieved a significant milestone in the expansion of its La Colorada mine in Mexico, with the successful commissioning of the new sulphide ore processing plant. The new plant began processing sulphide ore on July 1, 2016, achieving production throughput rates of over 1,400 tonnes per day and over 14,000 tonnes treated by July 10. Throughput rates will be slightly reduced until the mine shaft and additional underground development have been completed to provide higher ore supply.
Paul Benson, President and CEO said, “In the second quarter we completed the acquisition of Claude Resources, adding the Seabee Gold Operation to our portfolio in a robust precious metals environment and establishing Silver Standard as a high-quality intermediate precious metals producer. At Seabee, we are focused on successful integration and working with the team to identify operational excellence and growth opportunities at the mine.”
We are very pleased with our operating performance during the quarter and year to date, stated Arturo Bonillas, President of the Company. Gold ounces produced this quarter increased by 13% over the same period last year. Production for the quarter exceeded expectation due to the pit yielding more tonnes at a higher grade with a lower strip ratio than plan. We have successfully implemented multiple cost reductions this year (including mine-site G&A, mining and cyanide cost reduction), and we will continue to look to drive costs lower and increase operational efficiencies.
Alset Energy Corp. is pleased to announce that the Company has signed the final agreement to acquire the right to earn a 100% interest in the previously announced Mexican lithium, potassium and boron brine salar assets located in Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi, Mexico. After a review of all data and completion of a site visit by Alset and its advisors, the Company has decided to acquire four large concessions containing seven top priority salars which include, Caliguey, La Doncella, Colorada, La Salada, Santa Clara, Saldivar and Chapala. Although there are several other salars noted on these four concessions, very little work has been completed on them to date. The Company selected these salars due to their attractive lithium, potassium and boron values from limited shallow sampling down to a depth of five metres. Of particular interest is the La Salada salar where preliminary and unaudited analyses of samples from the southern half of the salar returned grades frequently exceeding 1500 mg/l with occasional values over 2000 mg/l lithium, 8% potassium and 60 mg/l boron. The depth and grade beneath 5 metres is unknown at this time but preliminary geophysical surveys indicate a possible depth of 70 metres.

The Company is pleased to announce the completion of its recent exploration program on its 100% owned San Timoteo property in Chihuahua, Mexico. The 2016 program involved using the Companys Terraspec machine to analyze clay minerals from existing, property wide, drill core and other samples including samples from the area of the 500 level San Martin adit. The aim of this work was to allow the company to build a 3D model of clay mineralogy to aid in the planning of future drill holes. Because different clay minerals form at different temperatures they can be used to differentiate different levels in the epithermal system that deposited the mineralization. Different metals are deposited at various paleo depths as the mineralized solutions rise and cool. Base metals are deposited first in the deepest levels and are sometimes related to porphyry style mineralization. Porphyritic rocks have been encountered at San Timoteo and that potential may exist on the property at greater depth.
“We are deeply saddened by this tragic event,” stated Robert Archer, President and CEO. “On behalf of all of us at Great Panther, I wish to extend our most sincere condolences to the deceased’s family and friends, and to all of our co-workers at our Topia Mine. Regrettably, this accident comes even as we are continuing a complete safety review across all of our operations. All such incidents are unacceptable and we will continue to do everything possible to prevent a recurrence.”
