First Mining Finance Corp. is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with BRS Ventures Ltd., under which First Mining will sell all the issued and outstanding shares of Minera Terra Plata S.A. de C.V., a subsidiary of First Mining, which owns the Peñasco Quemado, La Frazada and Pluton properties located in Mexico.

Westminster Resources has recently completed prospecting and sampling of epithermal precious metal zones in the Guayacan region of the Company’s 17,854 hectare 100% owned Sonora Mexico property. This road accessible, flat -lying area is partially covered with young volcanic rocks and sand-gravel overburden deposits. The Company’s airborne magnetic-VTEM geophysical survey has guided exploration of partially covered target zones which are associated with major North – South structural linears and circular intrusive centers. Both have widespread alteration-silicification signatures related to Landsat imagery anomalies and magnetic lows.

Cyprium Mining Corporation is pleased to announce the results from additional underground samples taken from an oxidized zinc body on level 14 as part of its ongoing exploration program of the Potosi silver mine located in the historic Santa Eulalia, Mexico.

“The fault structures and tourmaline breccias throughout the La Fortuna Project area have been the source of significant historical mining activity. To date only a limited portion of the La Fortuna Main Zone has been drilled to produce the current NI 43-101 compliant resource,” said Miguel Cardona, Vice President, Exploration at Minera Alamos. “This opportunity to increase our land holdings so substantially provides considerable upside for resource growth as the project continues to advance. We are now reworking our planning to include the newly acquired property in our upcoming exploration program”.

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President & CEO commented, “We continue to expand our high grade footprint at Las Chispas with the latest results from the ongoing underground rehabilitation and channel sampling program as we continue to gain further access to historic workings. Our onsite team has safely descended to the historic 650 level** of the William Tell vein with subsequent ongoing mapping and sampling. Our channel sample results on the 650 level are showing sub interval bonanza grades in excess of 2,500 grams per tonne silver equivalent (AgEq)*over 0.20 metre to 1.12 metre widths.
