“Endeavour Silver’s Terronera Project is nearing completion,” commented Don Gray, Chief Operating Officer. “Dry commissioning is advancing well on the Upper Platform and we’re completing final installations and the last of the punch list items.”

The property sits within the heart of Mexico’s Faja de Plata (Belt of Silver) and is located just 15km to the east of Endeavor Silver’s Pitarilla Deposit, one of the largest unexploited silver resources in Mexico.

Paddy Nicol, Orogen’s CEO, commented, “Since the discovery of Navidad in July 2024, multiple drill rigs have been busy exploring the vein system and it is exciting to see continued success. Not only did drilling in the second half of 2024 expand Navidad, the zone of high-grade gold and silver mineralisation is also substantially closer to the underground workings at the Ermitaño mine complex.”

“We are encouraged by the results of the Q4 2024 drilling program, which focused on testing geological features with limited previous drilling, just one or two holes in each area, and yielded positive indicators while also uncovering some unexpected geologic surprises,” said John-Mark Staude, President and CEO of Riverside Resources.

Akiba Leisman, CEO of Mako states “these drilling and channel sample results were taken as part of a geotechnical drilling program to finalize engineering parameters and site infrastructure layout selection in preparation for submitting our environmental permit application later this year. The grades and widths received from this program are matching or exceeding those defined in the resource model from the 2024 PEA, which showed an after-tax NPV 5% of US$ 292 million at US$1,850 gold.”

Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated: “The Media Luna Project is now in its final months, sitting at 94% complete as of the end of 2024. We are well on track to complete the project and produce first copper concentrate by the end of Q1 2025, with engineering concluded, procurement substantially complete, underground development tracking well ahead of schedule, and surface construction advancing per plan.”

President, Scott Emerson, commented: “We have now completed exploration over the entire 1.7 km and 1.4 km long Soledad and Soledad II structures with mineralization occurring over the entire strike lengths. This gives us confidence that mineralization continues along strike and at depth of the past producing Las Coloradas mine (300M) and also increases our confidence for our upcoming drill program.”

“The success at Santa Elena continues,” stated Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO of First Majestic. “The exploration program at Navidad during H2 successfully expanded the high-grade gold and silver mineralization of the Navidad discovery, extending mineralization closer to the Ermitaño mine infrastructure.”

Prime Mining Corp. Chief Executive Officer Scott Hicks commented, “Step-out drill holes at the southernmost end of Noche Buena in the Central Trend returned excellent gold and silver grades, defining a brand new high-grade shoot that is several hundred meters beyond our October 2024 resource update. Mineralization is at grades and widths indicative of underground expansion potential. And, mineralization remains open at depth and along strike to the south, with strong potential for significant extension via the 2025 drilling currently underway.”

Heliostar CEO, Charles Funk, commented, “At La Colorada, we are seeing the combined benefit of gold production at record prices and growth from the first significant investment into the project in many years. Our aggressive five-rig drill program is designed to increase the reserves of the Creston pit.”
