J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, “We are very excited to report these final assays from the very successful 2017 drill program. In 2017 we stepped out roughly 2 kilometers to the south of the Norte Zone and hit significant mineralisation in first pass drilling in the northern part of the large Villa Rica Zone. We believe that the results from Raya Tembrillo are proof of large scale porphyry potential in this part of the project. The drill results from 2016 and 2017 clearly show that we are dealing with a large cluster of porphyry systems all of which hold the potential to be important porphyry copper-gold deposits. We are currently defining a large 2018 drill program and look forward to reporting that shortly.”

Jim Culver, CEO of VVC said, “We at VVC are excited by the results of the first 2 phases of this Samalayuca drilling program. This drilling program has provided us with a wealth of data, most of it very encouraging. The results are by necessity – technical, detailed and voluminous. I would encourage readers of this news release, particularly those who have a technical interest, to go to the VVC website where the drilling data and associated information is presented.

“These results confirm continuity of high grade mineralization along trend at San Javier. We are very pleased with the higher gold numbers found at the Lydia zone which has been sampled over a 10 metre section on surface. Internal to this section, there appears to be 6 metres evidencing substantially higher gold and silver grades. As first identified in our drill program during 2017, the defining characteristic of our San Javier property appears to be the higher relative grades.” stated Hub Mockler, Executive Chairman.
