Source Exploration Corp. is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent which sets forth the basic terms upon which an extension to the option agreement to acquire the Pepe, Pepe Tres and San Jose concessions located at its Las Minas property may be granted. These concessions are part of the six concessions held under option or wholly owned by Source at Las Minas, Veracruz State, Mexico.

“The Property is located in very close proximity to the Rosario Mine and the Company has successfully milled mineralized material from the Property at the Rosario Mine milling facility in prior years,” said Arturo Préstamo, President and CEO of Santacruz. “Entering the Agreement was a logical strategic step for the Company to take as the initial capital expenditures required to produce mineralized material from the Property are anticipated to be modest, while simultaneously making use of excess capacity at the Rosario Mine milling facility.”

Millrock Resources Inc. announces that it has initiated a drilling program at its Los Chinos gold project in Sonora State, Mexico. The project is the subject of apreviously-announced option to joint venture agreement with Centerra Gold Inc. Under the option agreement, Centerra can earn a 70% interest by funding US$5.0 million in exploration expenditures over a five year period. Millrock manages the exploration work in close consultation with Centerra.

Southern Silver also reported that crews have mobilized and that soil sampling is underway as part of the next phase of work on the Cerro Las Minitas project, located in Durango, Mexico. The work will target new discoveries on the largely gravel-covered property. The sampling program will further evaluate targets developed during the Company’s detailed re-evaluation of airborne and ground geophysics, property-wide biogeochemical surveys, and soil and float sampling completed by Southern Silver over the last several years. Initial work has started with step-out soil lines to determine the potential strike-length of a 500 metre-long gold-in-soil anomaly in Target Area 1 (Figure 2), located about 4 km to the southwest of the Blind, El Sol and Santo Nino deposits. Follow-up drilling is anticipated as new targets are developed and refined.
