“Intersecting this wide zone of high-grade precious metals in the newly discovered Benjamin Vein with the first 3 holes ever drilled in it is very encouraging. We will be aggressively following up on this discovery as we resumed drilling last week post-Christmas shutdown. I am confident this will be the first of many new discoveries in the Historic El Tigre District.”

Kootenay President & CEO, James McDonald, stated “We continue to be extremely pleased with the drill results from Columba. The 1,186 gpt silver intersection from hole CDH-20-082 intercepting the B Vein is the highest silver grade reported to date over widths greater than 4 meters.”

Drilling is ongoing at Amalia and Radius will release further results as they become available. Radius and Pan American expect to complete 4,400 m in the current drill program.

Kenneth MacLeod, Sonoro’s President and CEO, added, “I am very happy to report at the conclusion of the 2020 drilling program that the program’s goals, as they relate to the overall development of production at Cerro Caliche, have been achieved and that the entire campaign to begin gold production at Cerro Caliche remains on track.”

Ranjeet Sundher, President and CEO, also comments “We are impressed with the speed in which Michelle and her team is de-risking the Picachos Project and increasingly demonstrating its regional scale potential. With just a small portion of the asset explored to date, I’m looking forward to keeping shareholders abreast as we aggressively move forward to further define the Colomeca Vein System while also commencing examination of the large copper-molybdenum porphyry target located on the northern part of the Property.”

At the San Antonio Gold Project, we have completed the engineering and permitting to process the gold mineralized stockpile via heap leaching. 35,000 meters exploration and infill drill program of the Sapuchi, Golfo de Oro and California Projects have been planned. We have established an initial exploration budget of approximately US$6 million for 2021.

Vizsla President and CEO, Michael Konnert, commented: “We continue to grow the area of mineralization at the Napoleon discovery in all directions with drilling. We are particularly encouraged with the wide zones remaining open in the deepest drilling. The greater Napoleon corridor has significant potential, and the Company continues to expand both the Napoleon zone and the Papayo zone and is adding rigs to systematically explore the entire 2.7 kilometre long vein corridor. Vizsla is well-funded as it continues its aggressive exploration of the Panuco district.”

“This is the first year of a multi-year growth phase for Capstone that will target 40% higher production with 15% lower costs by 2022, compared to last year’s guidance,” said Darren Pylot, President and CEO. “In the coming weeks, we will close the $150 million silver stream announced last month with Wheaton Precious Metals and it will allow Capstone to become debt free in 2021, while operating in this strong copper price environment.”
