Pete Dougherty, President & CEO stated: “Since breaking ground on construction at San Agustin 10 months ago, I’m pleased to announce we maintained schedule to first gold pour. Also of great importance to the Company is the attention to safety, as we have had zero lost time incidents at San Agustin throughout the project’s construction.”

Telson Resources Inc. reports that there have been no damage or adverse effects at its Mexico City office or either the Campo Morado Mine in Guerrero, Mexico or the Tahuehueto Project in Durango State from today’s earthquake which jolted central Mexico. The earthquake was calculated at a 7.1 magnitude and centred near the Puebla state town of Raboso, about 76 miles southeast of Mexico City.

Fred Stanford, President & CEO of Torex stated: “The current Sub-Sill resource estimate area is approximately 250m x 150m. The high grade results from the step-out drilling in the quadrant to the NW of the resource area, including a 240m step-out borehole, certainly confirm the potential for additional resources in this direction. Step-out drilling near the resource in the NE quadrant intercepted granodiorite in the target area. Longer range step-out drilling is planned to determine whether the intrusive rocks continue in this direction, or if skarn exists on the ‘other side’ of a localized intrusion. To the SW, several boreholes have been drilled and we are waiting for assays. To the SE, we will wait until after the rainy season to drill in this area.”

On September 19, 2017, an earthquake with a magnitude 7.1, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, struck near Mexico City. The city has experienced some severe damage; however, the office staff in Mexico City are safe and have been sent home. The earthquake does not appear to have damaged the facilities of the mining operations in Zacualpan. Post-earthquake inspections at the mines and processing plant are currently being carried out.

With Au-Ag mineralization occurring over a vertical interval of 600m at multiple targets over 3.5km strike length, Radius believes there is excellent potential for a significant discovery at Amalia. This initial program has returned encouraging high-grade results. The silica at the main Campamento target is high level with chalcedonic banded and colloform textures and typically low in sulphides. This contrasts with the Guadalupe area located 700m southeast of Campamento and vertically 250m below, where bonanza grade mineralization up to 16.4 g/t Au and 5180 g/t Ag (1m sample) is hosted in sulphide rich veins and breccias. This transition from the rhyolite hosted high level chalcedonic veins to high grade sulphide rich veins within the lower andesites is observed at several of the major deposits of the Sierra Madre gold belt. Radius is currently advancing drill permitting and intends to target wide high grade mineralization within the predicted sulphide zone at depth (200 to 250m) below Campamento.
