Defiance Silver and ValOro Resources Announce Merger to Create a Leading Diversified Mexican Explorer

Dunham Craig, President and CEO of ValOro, said “Combining ValOro with Defiance presents an opportunity to build a premier exploration company focused on Mexico, driven by an experienced management team and the opportunity to significantly enhance the long term growth potential of the Tepal gold-copper project. With a 2017 Preliminary Economic Assessment that produced positive economic results coupled with our 2017 and 2018 exploration work in preparation for a drill program to potentially expand the resource and test new targets, this transaction provides further value accretion by coupling our asset with the exploration potential at the San Acacio Silver deposit, further providing value accretion for ValOro and our shareholders.”

The Pinos Project Preliminary Economic Assessment results indicate a 7 year Life of Mine with projected gold equivalent ounce production of 89,000 with an after-tax IRR of 25%.

Curtis Turner, President and CEO of Candelaria Mining stated: “I am pleased to announce the results of the Pinos PEA. The PEA shows that Pinos is a great small scale project with the ability to grow. We are encouraged, not only by the PEA, but with the exploration potential on the property. The project is fully permitted. We have already sourced much of the processing facility. Therefore, we have limited much of the risk associated with the start-up of most projects at a PEA stage. Developing the property as outlined in the PEA will allow us to commence with a low-capex project which will generate cash flows and to allow us to expand the operations, conduct further exploration work and continue to advance the other projects in our portfolio.”

McEwen aims to extend mine life in Canada, U.S. and Mexico

In Mexico, the company hopes to add 12 years of mine life at its El Gallo Complex in Sinaloa State through a proposed redevelopment program known as Project Fenix. It hopes to achieve that goal by combining mineralized sources from five locations that will be developed in two distinct process plant construction phases. Phase 1 would target the recovery of heap leach material using a conventional ball mill, grinding and hybrid-carbon-in-leach circuit.

SilverCrest Expands High-Grade Babicanora Norte Vein

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, “the Babicanora Norte Vein continues to deliver near-surface drill intercepts with high-grade silver-gold mineralization along an estimated known strike length of 900 metres. We now have 30 epithermal veins on the property with a total cumulative strike length of approximately 20 kilometres, of which 5 kilometres have been partially drilled and only 3.5 kilometres were included in the February 2018 maiden resource. We are currently at the end of the rainy season with reduced drilling but have continued to step-out drill with several core rigs on the Babicanora Norte, Granaditas, and Babicanora Sur veins. We are systematically working towards an imminent resource update.”

High-Grade Sampling Results From the Zamora Gold-Silver Property in Mexico

Sample number 842 was channeled in the volcanic breccia over a width of 80cm and returned a very high-grade result of 4.027 kg/t Silver and 29.2 g/t Gold. This sample is located in the La Franca title, which is an area of 12 hectares in the northeast part of the Zamora Silver-Gold Property, and within the Campanillas claim. Zamora has a surface expression of 3,376.63 hectares. Auxico does not hold title to La Franca, however, La Franca is located 600 metres south-west of the Campanillas mine, form which samples assayed as high as 14.6 kg/t Silver and 15 g/t Gold. The structure can be followed for some 600m along strike with the Campanillas Mine which is indicated by numerous workings between the two historic mines, La Franca and Campanillas.
