CEO Marcio Fonseca stated, “We believe the name change more accurately reflects the Company’s evolution and focus. In Q4 2019, we were an advanced exploration company expanding our NI 43-101 resource estimate with a large vision to consolidate/acquire key assets in the Rosario Mining District. Over the last month we have signed two LOIs and are conducting thorough due diligence on two past-producing silver-gold mines and sizeable adjacent exploration packages, comprising a wealth of data and infrastructure.”

Magna Gold Corp. is pleased to announce that, further to its announcement on September 30, 2019, it has entered into an exploration and option to purchase agreement dated January 06, 2020, with Ricardo Estanislao Carranza Leon, Maria del Rosario Mendivil Bejarano and Ernesto Villaescusa Cordova, individuals resident in the Sonora State of Mexico, pursuant to which the Corporation has acquired the option to acquire a 100% undivided interest of two mining claims located in the municipality of Trincheras, Sonora, Mexico, for a five-year period.

Fred Stanford, President and CEO of Torex, stated: “We delivered a solid result to close out 2019 with El Limón Guajes delivering the second highest quarter of production on record. The operational performance allowed us to achieve record annual gold production of over 450,000 ounces, placing us towards the upper end of the guided range. The entire team is proud of the operational and financial performance delivered in 2019.”

Newmont Corporation is transferring experienced mining leader Jim Cooper, General Manager of Boddington in Australia, to lead the Peñasquito mine in Mexico to optimize this world-class asset. Jim will assume leadership of Peñasquito in the first quarter of 2020 and report to Dan Janney, Newmont’s Regional Senior Vice President for North America.

Igor Gonzales, President and CEO of Sierra Metals commented, “Management believes that Sierra’s underlying value along with its growth prospects are not reflected in the recent trading price of its Common Shares. As such, the Company will use a reasonable portion of its cash resources toward the purchase of its Common Shares under the Offer.”
