Simon Ridgway, Volcanic Gold Mines President and CEO, commented: “The drilling of the Veta Madre at the Motagua Norte project has intersected a broad zone of quartz veins, vein breccia and micro stockwork in two drill holes, located 100 m apart.”

Scott Emerson, President commented: As we continue with our systematic and disciplined exploration approach on this newly consolidated district, the results from the Soledad Mine area are confirming that distinct areas of mineralization are recognizable indicating potential for significant mineralization in the other locales as we identify new and existing target areas for our drill campaign.

“We are excited to report the drill is back onsite and turning at Pilar.” commented Brodie Sutherland, CEO. “It’s been nearly two years since we last drilled at Pilar, with the previous drill program identifying new areas of mineralization to the east and southeast of Pilar’s Main Zone.”

Silver Tiger’s CEO, Glenn Jessome, stated, “We are pleased to announce that this new set of assay results continue to both confirm and expand the near-surface potential Starter Stockwork Zone. Of particular interest is the high-grade “Keel Zone” that is being delineated.” Mr. Jessome further stated, “These promising assay results help to further de-risk the project in conjunction with the underway PFS-level geotechnical and metallurgical studies.”

Kootenay’s President & CEO, James McDonald states, “We are very excited to get underway drilling Columba once again. The initial holes of this program will be shallow to confirm dip and then will transition into large step outs along strike of around 100 meters. This is to quickly determine and demonstrate the overall size of the D Vein shoot along strike.”
