Thomas Atkins, President and CEO of Mammoth Resources commented on the Valesco exploration target study, stating: “It’s interesting and a welcome confirmation to see an independent study arrive at a similar target for further exploration to that which Mammoth determined from its own study of this target. This independently studied target similarly exceeds a million ounces of gold equivalent mineralization in the shallow to near-surface, oxidized-sulfide/transition zone mineralized horizon at Tenoriba.”

James Anderson, Chairman & CEO, said, “Our exploration programs continue to align with our production goals as we look to use our exploration successes to support our mid to long-term production growth. The district scale potential of the substantial Veta Madre system in Guanajuato remains the focus of our efforts; we are privileged to have the opportunity to run advanced exploration programs within the heart of one of Mexico’s richest silver mining camps.”

Greg McKenzie, President and CEO, commented: “We are pleased with the high-grade results from the La Estrella and San Rafael Zones. High-grade mineralization can be traced at La Estrella over a strike length of 225 m, vertical extent of 175 m, and true thickness of up to 6 m. Limited mining was previously conducted by First Majestic within these zones, and they were not included in the August 2023 Resource Estimate.”

Kootenay’s President & CEO, James McDonald states, “Good to see more great results and important to note that more potential is opened up with the I Vein and newly recognized vein parallel to the B Vein. We are seeing some excellent results along B2 which remains wide open for expansion and will see a lot more drilling.”

Southern Silver Exploration Corp. reports that drilling has commenced on its 100% owned Cerro Las Minitas, Ag-Pb-Zn property, located in Durango, Mexico.

“We look forward to seeing the results from the second half of the 2024 program, which I expect will further indicate the potential to build on our resource inventory with the year-end mineral reserve and resource update and support the Company’s target of sustaining annual gold equivalent production between 450,000 to 500,000 ounces beyond 2030.”

“The combined favorable grades, strike length, vertical extent, and vein proximity, along with the manto’s size and continuity, make the deposit attractive for underground bulk mining,” said Don Gray, Chief Operating Officer. “Our exploration team’s careful attention while relogging the historic drill results provided an alternative geologic model.”

“The results from the soil survey are simply incredible with samples exceeding the analysis overlimits two to three times; outlining the much larger potential for significant mineralization at Gran Pilar” commented Brodie Sutherland, CEO. “The consistently high values across the area is telling of the overall potential, this area also coincides with early reconnaissance sampling that has returned significant gold and silver values released earlier this year.”

“With these acquisitions, we now control over 95% of this high-grade gold district,” stated Darrell Rader, President & CEO of Minaurum Gold. “We are excited by the robust gold grades returned by shallow historical drilling that averaged depths of less than 100 m with the deepest reaching a vertical depth of only 135 m. We believe these highly exposed gold veins have the potential to coalesce into a single substantial gold system at depth.”
