Planning of Phase 2 Exploration Diamond Program on the Santa Maria Property Ongoing

Peter Hawley, President, CEO reports; “As mentioned before, the past year of exploration diamond drilling, underground diamond drilling, definition diamond drilling, and finally surface mapping and sampling, has been not only aggressive, but has resulted in over 6,900 samples collected and analyzed. This massive input of data has led our stream lined analytical team to new important understandings of the structural and mineralization controls on the western sector of the property where approximately 80% of our efforts over the past year were focused.”

For a first-pass exploration program, vein-hosted results grading over 3 kilograms per tonne silver highlight the need for continued exploration to define the true potential of the system.”

Mithril Raises A$3.5M to Expand High-Grade Gold-Silver Resources at Copalquin Mexico

“Following on from the excellent high-grade maiden JORC resource at El Refugio, dry season work has expanded drill targets along strike from El Refugio and in other parts of the district. Diamond core drilling will focus on expansion of the El Refugio resource which is open at depth and to the west as well as testing targets further along strike.”

Zacatecas Acquires the Advanced Stage and High Grade Oxide Esperanza Gold Project from Alamos Gold Inc. and $19.15 Million Private Placement Proceeds Released from Escrow
