NWM Announces Drill Program to Increase Resources/Reserves at Lluvia de Oro

NWM Mining Corporation is initiating a drill program with the objective of adding mineral resources and mineral reserves at the Company’s Lluvia de Oro mine in Sonora, Mexico. The primary focus of the program will be to upgrade a significant portion of the currently defined inferred resources (approximately 200,000 ounces / 17,000,000 tonnes at 0.36 g/t Au)*1 at the Lluvia de Oro deposit to a status of measured and indicated mineral resources. The cost structure of the current mining operations indicates that these mineral resources can then be converted to mineral reserves. In addition, the drill program will also aim to define new inferred resources along strike from the currently defined mine reserves. An updated reserve/resource estimate is expected to be completed during the summer of 2013.

Santacruz Silver Drilling Intersects 256 g/t Ag over 7.40 m, including 1,680 g/t Ag over 0.45 m at the Gavilanes Project in Mexico; Continuity of High-grade Confirmed on the GSA Vein

Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. announces that further to its press releases of November 20, 2012 and January 15, 2013 the Company has received the results from the final five diamond drill holes of its 6,000 meter Phase one diamond drill program at its 100% owned Gavilanes Silver project in Durango, Mexico. The 7,347 hectare Gavilanes property hosts a low sulphidation epithermal system, where seven high silver grade veins and stockwork mineralized structures have been identified to date. The Phase one drill program was designed to test three of seven known silver-bearing veins and a stockwork area. The drill results reported herein are from the Guadelupe-Soledad-Aranzazú (GSA) vein.

Drilling starts at the Baborigame Project with JV Partner Minera Hochschild Mexico

Prospero Silver Corp. is pleased to announce that its JV partner Minera Hochschild Mexico, S.A. de C.V. has commenced a 3,000 meter Reverse Circulation drill program in the northern Cebollas target area at the Baborigame project in Chihuahua. This initial program on the northern part of the 8,458 Hectare claims is aimed at multiple targets defined during the past 6 months. Sampling over the felsic igneous body 2.5 km in length shows both rock-chip and soil sample anomalies, which indicate potential to host both near surface, bulk tonnage as well as high grade vein mineralization.

Mammoth Encounters Free Gold in Preliminary Analysis of Tenoriba Drill Core

Mammoth Resources Corp. is pleased to report that gold observed from two core samples of un-oxidized hydrothermal breccia and an altered felsic volcanic selected for preliminary metallurgical test work occurred in as free gold associated with pyrite along pyrite grain fractures and on grain surfaces and that the rock in these samples was not oxidized. It is the opinion of Dr. Perez, who studied these samples that the gold is most likely leachable with cyanide and does not exhibit any major metallurgical complexities.
