Technical Update: Exploration Strategies and New Silver Gold Targets of the Zacualpan Silver District

Fred Davidson, President & CEO, stated “We are encouraged that Dr. Oliver’s work has advanced our internal geological model and understanding of a potential larger bulk tonnage gold system within our 357km land package. We have large areas of excellent ground to explore and are in production on less than 2% of the land package. We look forward to exploration results that will come from the work recommended by Dr. Oliver.”

Municipio de Fresnillo realiza avalúos a mineras; prevé que pagarán más predial

Monreal Ávila informó que el año pasado las mineras pagaron 12 millones de pesos del predial, entre ellas Saucito del Poleo y PLC, pero se prevé que este año la recaudación sea mayor porque dichos corporativos han crecido en infraestructura. “Es irresponsable manejar una cantidad, pero creo que se va a incrementar, va a aumentar”.

Fresnillo Plc – Production Report for the three months and full year ended 31 December 2018

Octavio Alvídrez, Chief Executive Officer, said: “Record annual silver production and a very strong gold performance does not mask what was a challenging year for Fresnillo. Gold production surpassed the expectations we had at the beginning of the year and is in line with our upwardly revised guidance, driven by a strong performance at Saucito, the successful start of operations of the Pyrites Plant at Saucito and the higher ore grade at the Fresnillo mine.

Leagold Provides 2019 Guidance and Updates Total Gold Reserves to 7.1 Moz

“Our 2019 outlook benefits from the many operational improvements being implemented at each site.

Kootenay Sampling Program Returns Several High-Grade Results At Copalito Silver-Gold Project, Mexico

Kootenay President & CEO, James McDonald stated, “We are very pleased with results from mapping and sampling recently completed at Copalito. This Program not only returned numerous high-grade silver values, but also found significant gold values and extended the mineral strike length of all known primary veins. Furthermore, we discovered parallel veins, increasing the dimensional potential of the mineralized system. Copalito is a rare opportunity of an undrilled vein swarm with the potential for a high-grade discovery, which can have immediate impact in the value of the Company even with low silver prices. It is the second such project acquired in 2018 with the other being Columba.”

The acquisition is expected to close at the end of February, and we are looking forward to updating our forecast for 2019 in the second quarter to include the Tahoe assets.”

Endeavour Silver Updates 2018 Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates

Bradford Cooke, CEO of Endeavour, stated, “We continued to enjoy exploration success in 2018, primarily at Guanacevi, Terronera and Parral. Mineral Reserves increased at Terronera due to infill drilling at depth and the inclusion of the high-grade La Luz vein. Mineral Reserves also increased at Guanacevi, as Milache was incorporated into the mine plan, partly offset by reduced Mineral Reserves at El Cubo. Mineral Resources increased sharply at Parral thanks to drilling of the San Patricio vein system, partly offset by reduced Mineral Resources at El Cubo.”
