“The maiden drill holes at the El Refugio target have shown the area to be part of a large hydrothermal system. The broad quartz breccia zones punctuated with high grade gold-silver veins has been drill tested over 300m and is building the model of a large gold-silver system that is characterised by extensive surface alteration and rhyolite dome intrusions.”

“The start of earth moving on site marks another important milestone in the development of Camino Rojo made possible through the collective efforts of our team and stakeholders,” stated Jason Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Orla. “Project advancement continues in a controlled manner as we focus on maintaining the health and safety of our personnel.”

Morgan J. Poliquin, President and CEO of Almaden, stated “The presence of pathfinder elements in these samples is very encouraging as it corroborates our view that the SE Alteration Zone could represent the higher levels of a potential underlying epithermal system. It is quite typical that the higher parts of these systems contain negligible precious metals values. We look forward to continued mapping, and eventually drilling, in this area.”

“The Aquita Zarca zone has significant size potential with a 400m strike length with surface mineralization and multiple closely spaced veins. 2020 has been an incredibly successful year and the Company continues to aggressively unlock the potential of Panuco. This is a clear demonstration of the upside that drilling can unlock at the underexplored Panuco district. Vizsla is drilling with five rigs across the district and is funded for an even more aggressive 2021.”

Prime Mining’s Chief Executive Officer Daniel Kunz commented, “We are pleased to begin drilling at Los Reyes. The trench sampling results continue to define high-grade gold and silver mineralization at surface. The Zapote deposits have outstanding gold and silver values over large outcropping areas and drilling there will focus on resource expansion.”

Tarachi President and CEO, Lorne Warner stated “I am very impressed by the high-grade nature of our first drill results from the La Dura historic mine. Drilling this type of mineralization so close to operating mines such as Mulatos and La India is exciting. All the assays released are encouraging and drillhole 05 particularly demonstrates the broad nature of the mineralization as well as the high grades of gold that are encountered on our concessions.”

Kenneth MacLeod, Sonoro’s President & CEO, added, “The latest assay results from Buena Suerte provide compelling evidence that it has become one of the prime targets for developing a new, higher grade mineralized zone at Cerro Caliche. We are confident that the current results will contribute to a material increase of the current inferred resource estimate at Cerro Caliche.”

The Guigui Project is located in the heart of the Santa Eulalia Mining District, home to Mexico’s largest Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD). The Santa Eulalia Mining District has produced 510 Moz of silver, 4.2 MT of lead, 3.6 MT of zinc, at average grades of 310 g/t Ag, 8.2% Pb and 7.1% Zn.
