Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude: “We are on track with BHP moving toward drill testing and continue progressing a strong pipeline of copper properties that have giant scale exploration discovery potential. As properties move along, some will no longer fit for BHP and these become 100% Riverside so over time Riverside’s sole ownership portfolio will also be growing.”

“The gold mineralization was previously thought to be concentrated along a low angle, west dipping shear zone within mainly monzo-diorites, however, we discovered the gold mineralization is situated within a large intrusion hosted, breccia pipe.”

“We believe that our drilling in Los Ricos North not only will define a significant resource, but with exploration at Casados North and the initiation of the drilling program at El Nayar, we look forward to additional exciting discoveries.”

A Phase II drill program is currently in progress with 3,500 meters of reverse circulation drilling in twenty drill holes. Results for four drill holes are included in this release, highlighted by drill hole JES-21-43 which returned 35.1 meters at 0.66 g/t Au and 6 g/t Ag (0.72 g/t AuEq).

The work completed by SGS was a first-pass bench-scale scoping study based on a small bulk sample of historical drill core, being 100 kg. It is the first metallurgical test-work completed at Panuco and demonstrates robust gold, silver, lead and zinc recoveries above 90% are achievable.

“With the extremely high-grade intercept in hole CDH-072 we have confirmed the bonanza grades El Cometa intercepted by the historic drilling (UC-03) and further developed the model for the complex El Cometa vein system. The model will guide future exploration in this structure which extends 2km east to Los Reyes. Our deeper drilling to extend the eastern side of the El Refugio clavo has shown excellent continuity intercepting multiple veins.”

Almaden Minerals Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has completed a surface induced polarisation geophysical (IP) program at the Ixtaca deposit, Mexico.

Tarachi VP and Director Lorne Warner commented: “The results in JAB-21-14 confirmed that the underground diamond drilling and surface reverse circulation drilling programs returned similar assay results.”

“We are excited about the future prospects for Jackie given the lack of historical exploration and the intense silicate and oxide alteration with high-grade precious metal values ranging up to 9.65 g/t Au and 515 g/t Ag identified in the target area anomaly which will provide the main focus for the new program,” said Greg Davison, Silver Spruce VP Exploration.

“The results from the 2021 surface drilling program at the La Colorada Vein are very encouraging. La Colorada, together with the San Juan and Yecora veins, continue to deliver near surface, high-grade silver and gold results over significant widths. These results are being incorporated into the maiden San Juan Area resource estimation, expanding the mineralized zones along strike and down dip.”
