VANCOUVER, BC, April 16, 2024 /CNW/ - Vizsla Silver Corp. (TSXV: VZLA) (NYSE: VZLA) (Frankfurt: 0G3) ("Vizsla Silver" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire two large claims comprising 10,667.0 Ha (the "El Richard – San Enrique claims" or "San Enrique prospect") located south and partially adjacent to the Company's Panuco project (the "Panuco Project" or "Panuco"). The San Enrique prospect is situated along the highly prospective Panuco – San Dimas corridor and is covered 100% with LiDAR and partially covered with high-resolution aero-magnetic and radiometric surveys.

Highlights
Large property package comprised of 10,667 Ha just south of Panuco (almost 50% larger than Panuco).
The area is covered with a LiDAR survey and partially covered (~60%) with high-resolution air magnetic and radiometric surveys.
The prospect contains dome complexes and covers the SE extensions of the NW trending Copala fault and Cordon del Oro - Animas veins.
Preliminary recognizance mapping in the NE has identified favourable andesite lithologies, quartz veining and breccias.
The area has never been systematically mapped and prospected.
Vizsla Silver has agreed to issue to the seller US$650,000 in common shares.
"Vizsla Silver continues to expand its land position in the Sinaloa Silver Belt with the acquisition of the San Enrique prospect," stated Michael Konnert, President, and CEO. "These claims are located southeast along trend from several of our existing mineralised vein corridors, including the high grade Copala structure and they add significant exploration upside potential to Vizsla's growing portfolio of projects. With preliminary geophysics and LiDAR complete, we intend to move forward with regional recognizance-mapping and a stream-sediment geochemical survey to aid in ongoing drill targeting. Although Vizsla Silver remains committed to the near-term development of the advanced-stage Panuco-Copala district, this acquisition combined with the recently announced La Garra acquisition, further positions Vizsla Silver as a globally significant silver explorer-developer, with the potential to build a multi-generational asset base in Mexico."
About the San Enrique prospect
The San Enrique prospect area is adjacent to the southern boundary of the Panuco project. The prospect comprises two titled mining claims covering 10,667.0 Ha (El Richard with 3,688.6 Ha and San Enrique with 6,978.4 Ha) in the emerging silver-gold-rich Panuco – San Dimas corridor with estimated past production plus current resources and reserves of 1.2-Boz Ag and 15-Moz Au (Figure 2).
The LiDAR and mag survey from the San Enrique prospect show strong NW-trending lineaments, indicative of regional faults and fractures. Two of these lineaments are aligned and seem to be the SE extensions of the Copala fault and the Cordon del Oro - Animas vein structures in Panuco (Figure 3). The main lithologies identified to date are predominantly rhyolite domes which produce strong magnetic anomalies in the north, and felsic flows and tuffs (rhyolites and dacites). Recent 40Ar/39Ar age dating on adularia separates from veins in Panuco project indicates that epithermal mineralization post dates felsic volcanism in the area. Additionally, preliminary recognizance mapping in the northeast has revealed the presence of andesite tuffs and flows, quartz veining and breccia structures. The Santa Fe mine is located three kilometres south of San Enrique, is owned and operated by Inca Azteca Gold and is a small scale mine producing high-grade silver and gold from a NW trending epithermal vein. This supports the hypothesis that the NW trending structures within San Enrique have the potential to host additional veins yet to be discovered.
The San Enrique prospect contains several indicators that suggest it is a highly prospective area, namely: location (Panuco – San Dimas corridor), high-grade deposits immediately north (Copala and Panuco), structural controls (southeast extensions of the Copala fault and Cordon - Animas lineament), domes and an operating mine to the south along another NW regional fault (Santa Fe mine, Inca Azteca).
Vizsla Silver is in the process of acquiring a multispectral World View III satellite image covering the whole Panuco and San Enrique claims to speed up the target generation process. Furthermore, the Company intends to conduct regional recognizance-mapping and a stream-sediment geochemical survey at San Enrique in the near future.
Terms of the Acquisition
The Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") dated March 5, 2024, with Inca Azteca Gold S.A.P.I. de C.V. (the "Seller") and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Minera Canam, S.A. de C.V. ("Minera Canam") pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire, through Minera Canam, all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the mineral concessions (the "Acquisition").
Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of US$650,000 in common shares in the capital of the Company, at the exchange rate and market price applicable on the effective date (collectively, the "Consideration Shares") plus any applicable value added tax to the Seller. The Consideration Shares are subject to a four-month hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws and the Seller has agreed to voluntary resale restrictions, whereby 12.5% of the Consideration Shares will become free trading on the date that is four months and one day from the effective date and an additional 12.5% will become free trading every three months thereafter.
About the Panuco Project
The newly consolidated Panuco silver-gold project is an emerging high-grade discovery located in southern Sinaloa, Mexico, near the city of Mazatlán. The 17,856.5-hectare, past producing district benefits from over 86 kilometres of total vein extent, 35 kilometres of underground mines, roads, power, and permits.
The district contains intermediate to low sulfidation epithermal silver and gold deposits related to siliceous volcanism and crustal extension in the Oligocene and Miocene. Host rocks are mainly continental volcanic rocks correlated to the Tarahumara Formation.
On January 8, 2024, the Company announced an updated mineral resource estimate for Panuco which includes an estimated in-situ indicated mineral resource of 155.8 Moz AgEq and an in-situ inferred resource of 169.6 Moz AgEq.
About Vizsla Silver
Vizsla Silver is a Canadian mineral exploration and development company headquartered in Vancouver, BC, focused on advancing its flagship, 100%-owned Panuco silver-gold project located in Sinaloa, Mexico. To date, Vizsla Silver has completed over 350,000 metres of drilling at Panuco leading to the discovery of several new high-grade veins. For 2024, Vizsla Silver has budgeted +65,000 metres of resource/discovery-based drilling designed to upgrade and expand the mineral resource, as well as test other high priority targets across the district.
Qualified Person
In accordance with NI 43-101, Jesus Velador, Ph.D. MMSA QP., Vice President of Exploration, is the Qualified Person for the Company and has reviewed and approved the technical and scientific content of this news release.
Information Concerning Estimates of Mineral Resources
The scientific and technical information in this news release was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 which differs significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The terms "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource" and "inferred mineral resource" used herein are in reference to the mining terms defined in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards (the "CIM Definition Standards"), which definitions have been adopted by NI 43-101. Accordingly, information contained herein providing descriptions of our mineral deposits in accordance with NI 43-101 may not be comparable to similar information made public by other U.S. companies subject to the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
You are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral resources will ever be converted into reserves. Pursuant to CIM Definition Standards, "inferred mineral resources" are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Such geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An inferred mineral resource has a lower level of confidence than that applying to an indicated mineral resource and must not be converted to a mineral reserve. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority of inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to indicated mineral resources with continued exploration. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
Canadian standards, including the CIM Definition Standards and NI 43-101, differ significantly from standards in the SEC Industry Guide 7. Effective February 25, 2019, the SEC adopted new mining disclosure rules under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "SEC Modernization Rules"), with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The SEC Modernization Rules replace the historical property disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources". Information regarding mineral resources contained or referenced herein may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies that report according to U.S. standards. While the SEC Modernization Rules are purported to be "substantially similar" to the CIM Definition Standards, readers are cautioned that there are differences between the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definitions Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral resources that the Company may report as "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xali Gold Corp. (TSXV:XGC) ("Xali Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a Letter of Intent to enter a Purchase Agreement (the “LOI Agreement”) with Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (“KCA”) on the Mexican Mine Tailings Reprocessing Project at El Oro (the “El Oro Tailings Project”) in Mexico. The Letter of Intent is a legally binding agreement.
“We are excited to be able to move ahead with our El Oro Tailings Project,” says Joanne Freeze, President and CEO of Xali Gold. “With KCA’s experience in Mexico, and their proprietary recovery process, we anticipate a fairly rapid development timeline. KCA’s recovery process is expected to achieve higher gold and silver recoveries and require less permitting than the previous process proposed by Sun River Gold. As such, we estimate that this new agreement on the Tailings should allow us both to pay outstanding mineral rights fees on the El Oro Project as well as fund exploration at El Oro. El Oro is a district scale gold project encompassing a well-known prolific high-grade gold dominant gold-silver epithermal vein system in Mexico. The project covers 20 veins with past production and more than 57 veins in total, from which approximately 6.4 million ounces of gold and 74 million ounces of silver were reported to have been produced from just two of these veins. The previous agreement with Sun River Gold has been terminated as they were in default of their obligations under that agreement and were given sufficient notice of their default.”
In order to earn 100% interest in the El Oro Tailings Project, subject to royalty payments outlined below, KCA has agreed to:
Pay Xali Gold US$25,000 upon signing;
Pay Xali Gold an additional US$25,000 three months after signing the LOI Agreement;
Pay Xali Gold US$100,000 six months after signing the LOI Agreement.
Terms of the Royalty Payments are as follows:
Once production begins, KCA will pay Xali Gold a gross royalty equal to 4% of the sales income ("NSR") received from the gold and silver produced from the El Oro Tailings Project, less any royalties due and payable to others (the Municipality of El Oro), but in no case less than a 3% gross royalty.
KCA has the right at any time to buy a 1% royalty from Xali Gold for US$1,000,000, which would lower the NSR from 4% to 3% of the sales income received from the gold and silver produced from the Project, less any royalties due and payable to others including the Municipality of El Oro, but in no case less than a 2% royalty.
KCA will make minimum royalty payments of US$50,000 every six months commencing six months from signing the LOI agreement, until a total royalty payment of US$1,000,000 has been paid to Xali Gold, but royalty payments on production will continue past that point.
KCA will also be obligated to pay the Municipality of El Oro an 8% Net Profits Interest (“NPI”) on production from the Tailings or renegotiate this with the Municipality.
Xali Gold has the right to receive the first US$1.5M from the Municipality’s 8% NPI.
The Mexico Mine Tailings at El Oro contain an Inferred Resource* of 1,267,400 Tonnes grading 2.94 gold grams per tonne (“g/t”), 75.12 silver g/t containing 119,900 ounces of gold and 3,061,200 ounces of silver.
*Note: Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All figures have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate. For more information, please see below.

The estimate reflects the results of the auger and channel sampling program completed in May 2014 (see News Release 036 June 26, 2014) as compared with extensive historic assessments including drill testing and metallurgical test work. The 2014 verification sampling program of the 1990 historic results was completed through systematic sampling of the upper 3.0 metres of the tailings with a hand auger and vertically channel sampling the lower 5 to 10 metres of the tailings dump. In 1990, Luismin drilled 297.7 metres in 22 holes and in 1951, the Cooperativa de Las Dos Estrellas drilled 2162.7 metres in 184 holes. The mineral resources reported have been estimated using criteria consistent with the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“CIM”) Definition Standards (2014) and in conformity with the CIM “Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice” (2003) guidelines. The contained metal figures shown are in-situ. No assurance can be given that the estimated quantities will be produced. All figures have been rounded to reflect accuracy and to comply with securities regulatory requirements. Some summations may not agree due to rounding. This reported Mineral Resource has an effective date of July 8th, 2014.
The Mexico Mine Tailings mineral resource was constrained on the west and north by an offset of 30m from an existing highway and is reported at a cut-off grade of 2.5 g/t gold equivalent (“AuEq”). Gold and silver recoveries used were 50% and 50% respectively. Metal prices used were 12-month rolling averages for: gold US$1,304.92/oz and silver US$20.67/oz. Mining and processing costs and G&A used were $7.00, $27.00 and $11.00 US per tonne respectively.

IMPACT Silver Announces Full Year 2023 Results
Revenue Increased 27% to $20.7 Million
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/205671
April 16, 2024 11:28 AM EDT | Source: IMPACT Silver Corp.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2024) - IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) (OTCQB: ISVLF) (FSE: IKL) ("IMPACT" or the "Company") announces its financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company is recognized as an intermediate miner with strength across the value chain including production, growth and exploration potential. The Company is evolving from being a near pure play on silver with ongoing production across an extensive mining district at its Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver district in central Mexico. In 2023, the Company acquired Mineral Latin America Zinc ("MLAZ"), a Mexican entity which owns and operates the Plomosas high grade zinc-lead-silver mine in northern Mexico; IMPACT brought limited production back online in late 2023 with the goal of reaching full design capacity in late 2024, leading to meaningful high-grade zinc production going forward.
The Company reported $20.8 million in revenue in FY 2023, an increase of 27% compared to revenues of $16.3 million in revenue in 2022, primarily due to a 178% increase in gold sales and a 22% increase in lead sales over 2022. Most of the revenue was generated from the Company's silver producing assets at the Royal Mines of Zacualpan. The mine's operating loss before amortization and depletion[1] in 2023 was ($0.6 million) compared to mine operating earnings of $1.2 million in 2022, and was negatively impacted due to strong inflationary cost pressures across the operation in 2023, as well as a strong Mexican Peso. This included operating costs of $2.1 million related to the rehabilitation of the Plomosas mine which impacted profitability, as those costs were required to be treated as expenses on the income statement rather than capitalized on the balance sheet. At December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $8.3 million, working capital of $7.6 million and no debt.
Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT, stated, "In 2023, we were able to leverage our silver producing assets and add meaningful new gold production resulting in strong revenue growth on a year over year basis. We integrated the acquisition of the Plomosas mine and are in the process of bringing it back online and expect this high-grade zinc operation to meaningfully add to the Company's financial results going forward. Notwithstanding, inflationary pressures across the operation and throughout the supply chain, continued to negatively impact profitability. Nonetheless, the Company was able to maintain a strong balance sheet with over $8 million in cash and no debt at year-end. Our dual-pronged strategy focussing on maintaining production grade from existing and new development sites while simultaneously improving efficiencies at our mill, allowed for an overall successful year in 2023 despite the challenging operating environment."
In 2023, IMPACT carried out greenfield and brownfield exploration programs at Zacualpan where the Company holds a large 211km2 package. As well, we initiated drilling activity at Plomosas where management expects to ramp up to full design capacity in late 2024. Ongoing exploration at Zacualpan is expected to result in improved feed for the nearby Guadalupe processing facility while drilling at Plomosas includes development drilling and brownfield activity to expand the resource size over time.
With nearly 13 million ounces of silver produced since 2006, generating over $261 million in revenue and investing over $82 million in CAPEX to date, we are proud of our 2023 achievements amidst a challenging cost environment and look forward to returning to profitability and production growth in 2024.
2023 FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Revenue in 2023 was $20.8 million, a 27% increase from $16.3 million in 2022
After investing $8.5 million in exploration expenditures and mining assets during the year, the cash position remained strong at year-end at $8.3 million with working capital of $7.6 million.
Net loss in 2023 was $7.6 million (which included $2.3 million incurred by MLAZ to bring operations online, as well as deferred income tax expenses of $2.0 million), compared to $3.2 million in 2022.
The Company has no long-term debt.
2023 PRODUCTION OVERVIEW - ZACUALPAN
2023 full year silver production was 637,514 ounces (2022 - 632,862 ounces).
Silver sales of 636,655 compared to 644,843 ounces in 2022. Gold sales of 780 ounces in 2023 increased 178% compared to 281 ounces in 2022.
Average mill silver feed grade was 160 grams per tonne (g/t) for 2023 which was comparable to 2022.
Throughput at the mill was 147,444 tonnes milled in 2023, down 4% from 152,862 tonnes in 2022, for an average of 404 tonnes per day for the year.
Given the evolving cost profile and fluctuating commodity prices during the year, the goal at the Guadalupe silver processing plant at Zacualpan in 2023 was to focus on lower cost, higher grade production. Lower but steady production tonnes allowed the Company to focus on mining higher margin areas in lower cost situations. Revenue per tonne sold improved by 30% to $136.62 in 2023 from $105.39 in 2022 due in part to the substantial increase in gold production.
Direct costs per production tonne were $130.58 in 2023, an increase of 34% from $97.49 during the same period in 2022, due to inflationary pressures, and a strong Mexican peso which increased 18% over the Canadian dollar. Management expects costs to stabilize in 2024 but with less volatility in Mexican peso.
PLOMOSAS
Following the acquisition of the Plomosas high grade zinc-lead-silver mine in April 2023, the Company embarked on an aggressive rehabilitation and upgrading program to bring the mine back online, which is expected to be completed in late 2024. During Q4 2023, there was limited production of 3,774 tonnes milled with an average mill head grade of 13.8% for zinc, with revenue per tonne of $141.51 milled
IFRS accounting rules stipulate that costs related to the start-up period of bringing the mine and plant back online be expensed on the income statement, rather than capitalized on the balance sheet and as a result, costs are not representative of a more normalized operating environment. As the Company reaches design capacity in 2024, costs per tonne are expected to decrease.
Historical mining makes Plomosas one of the highest grading zinc mines with approximately 2.5MT mined since 1943 grading 15-25% zinc, 2-7% lead and 40-60 g/t silver with low deleterious elements[2]. The 3,019-hectare property covers extensive carbonate replacement deposit-type ("CRD") zinc-lead-silver mantos (beds) mainly hosted in carbonates (limestones, marbles). The previous operator reported an historic Australian JORC compliant mineral resources[3] of 215,000 tonnes grading 13.5% zinc, 6.3% lead and 34.0 g/t silver (indicated), and 772,000 tonnes grading 13.1% zinc, 3.0% lead and 19.0 g/t silver (inferred), at a 3% zinc cutoff at December 2021.
GOING FORWARD
Going forward, the company intends to continue to invest resources in exploration and development at both of its mine sites. At the Zacualpan project, the Company is optimizing silver and gold production and continues to evaluate the restart of its Capire open pit silver mine to take advantage of strong silver pricing.
IMPACT crews are continuing to explore some of the 5,000+ old mine workings and prospects in the Zacualpan and Capire districts as well as exploring new areas to define drill targets. Exploration targets are defined and prioritized using a very large computer database complied over many years from historical maps and other technical data on the project.
At Plomosas, exploration activity is planned across the property with a target of expanding the size of the resource. Field work to date suggests that the high-grade portion of the known deposit extends and is open in all directions. On January 17, 2024, subsequent to 2023 year-end, IMPACT announced first drill results from surface exploration drilling at Plomosas including 6.9 metres (true width) of 10.22% Zinc, 5.43% Lead and 27.7g/t Silver on the south extension of the Tres Amigos Zone. Drilling is continuing to explore the Tres Amigos Zone with plans for initial drill programs on other explorations targets on the property in 2024.
CAPIRE VMS OPEN PIT MINE
The Capire open pit silver mine and 200 tonne per day processing plant is a separate operating unit located 16 kilometers south of the Guadalupe processing plant. The Capire unit is currently on care and maintenance but the Company is carrying out studies toward bringing it back into production. Previous 43-101 mineral resource studies on the Capire deposit have been evaluated with an inhouse review using the experience of a small test mining open pit operation in 2014. Other studies are being conducted with regard to critical infrastructure to determine optimum plant size for Capire operations and a 1,400 kilogram sample from the Capire open pit was tested using state of the art X-Ray transmission ("XRT") pre-concentration processing technology with encouraging results. XRT technology is a process that recognizes and sorts rocks based on the specific atomic density of the material. XRT sorts economic grade material, from waste reducing the amount of material to be processed during the milling process as well as tailings. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of XRT pre-concentration upon capital and operating costs, recoveries and the ultimate mineable size of the deposit and the current pilot plant.
A recorded conference call reviewing the financial and production results of the year ended December 31, 2023 will be available on the Company website on April 17th, 2023 at www.impactsilver.com/s/ConferenceCalls.asp.

Qualified Person and NI 43-101 Disclosure
George Gorzynski, P.Eng., VP Exploration and a Director of IMPACT Silver Corp., is a "Qualified Person" within the meaning of NI 43-101 and has approved the technical information contained in this news release.
ABOUT IMPACT SILVER
IMPACT Silver Corp. (TSXV: IPT) is a successful producer-explorer with two mining projects in Mexico.
Royal Mines of Zacualpan Silver-Gold District: IMPACT owns 100% of the 211 km2 Zacualpan project in central Mexico where three underground silver mines and one open pit mine feed the central 500 tpd Guadalupe processing plant. To the south, the Capire Project includes a 200 tpd processing pilot plant adjacent to an open pit silver mine with an NI 43-101 inferred mineral resource of over 4.5 million oz silver, 48 million lbs zinc and 21 million lbs lead (see IMPACT news release dated January 18, 2016 for details and QP statement). Company engineers are reviewing Capire for a potential restart of operations. Over the past 18 years, IMPACT has placed multiple zones into commercial production and produced over 13 million ounces of silver, generating revenues over $261million, with no long-term debt.
Plomosas Zinc-Lead-Silver District: IMPACT has begun preliminary mining and processing operations at its 100% owned Plomosas high-grade zinc mine in northern Mexico. Exploration upside potential is exceptional where only 600m of the 6 km-long structure have seen modern exploration to date. This is in addition to other exploration targets on the 3,019-hectare property including untested copper-gold targets with indications of high-grade material from surface. Regionally, Plomosas lies in the same mineral belt as some of the largest carbonate replacement deposits in the world.

Minera Alamos Provides Santana Operations Update
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/205626
April 16, 2024 7:00 AM EDT | Source: Minera Alamos Inc.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2024) - Minera Alamos Inc. (TSXV: MAI) (the "Company" or "Minera Alamos") is pleased to report that further to its Santana operations update (see news release dated February 22, 2024) the Company's contractor mobilized at the Santana mine site at the beginning of April with mining activity at the Nicho Main zone to commence shortly. This followed the conclusion of discussions regarding the additional equipment and personnel required as operations begin to ramp up again at the mine.
The focus of contractor activities since the beginning of the month has been equipment maintenance and the preparation of additional haulage roads to maximize operational flexibility for the current mine plans. While the re-start of mining activities has been aided by the pre-stripping of the new deposit area in the past year, new operations will have a staggered start as access to multiple working areas increases and as the new pit opens up over time. The Company is also implementing new sampling procedures and controls in order to optimize conditions for the Nicho Main zone which exhibits somewhat different mineralogy than that at the Nicho Norte starter pit. This will include optimizations to blasting patterns to maximize fragmentation and gold recoveries, as well as crushing and in-pit sampling and sorting to ensure the best economic outcome. In addition, the Company is testing a new dust suppressant system to improve the overall air quality in active work areas while minimizing water consumption.
Overall, mining plans at the Nicho Main zone are aided by reduced hauling distances to the Santana leach pad compared to the Nicho Norte pit, and it is expected that this will allow for increases in both mining and stacking activities as the second quarter of 2024 progresses, the initial benefits of the which will be felt in Q3 and then continue throughout the next year (for more details please see the February 22nd news release).
Cautionary Statement
The Company made its production decision at the Santana gold mine without having completed a feasibility study demonstrating economic and technical viability. As such, there may be increased uncertainty of achieving planned production levels, estimated recovery of gold, the costs associated with such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure.
Mr. Darren Koningen, P. Eng., Minera Alamos' CEO, is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this press release under National Instrument 43-101.

The 100%-owned Cerro de Oro oxide gold project in northern Zacatecas has considerable past drilling and metallurgical work completed and the proposed mining project is currently being guided through the permitting process by the Company's permitting consultants. The La Fortuna open pit gold project in Durango (100%-owned) has a positive, robust preliminary economic assessment (PEA) completed, and the main Federal permits are in place. Minera Alamos is built around its operating team that together brought three open pit heap leach gold mines into successful production in Mexico over the last 13 years.
The Company's strategy is to develop very low capex assets while expanding the projects' resources and continuing to pursue complementary strategic acquisitions.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release may contain forward-looking information and Minera Alamos cautions readers that forward-looking information is based on certain assumptions and risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of Minera Alamos included in this news release. This news release includes certain "forward-looking statements", which often, but not always, can be identified by the use of words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or "plan". These statements are based on information currently available to Minera Alamos and Minera Alamos provides no assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations. Forward-looking statements include timing, cost estimates and statements with respect to Minera Alamos' future plans, objectives and goals with respect to the Cerro de Oro gold mine including the receipt of permits and construction timeline, and the satisfaction by the Company of the closing conditions to draw the Remaining Amount. Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions that, by their very nature involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, the economics of processing methods, project development, reclamation and capital costs of Minera Alamos' mineral properties, the ability to complete a preliminary economic assessment which supports the technical and economic viability of mineral production could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons. Minera Alamos' financial condition and prospects could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as: an inability to finance and/or complete an updated resource and reserve estimate and a preliminary economic assessment which supports the technical and economic viability of mineral production; changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; changes in demand and prices for minerals; litigation, legislative, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and operational difficulties encountered in connection with Minera Alamos' activities; and other matters discussed in this news release and in filings made with securities regulators.

Tocvan Restarts Drilling at Pilar Main Zone
https://www.accesswire.com/849509/tocvan-restarts-drilling-at-pilar-main-zone
Wednesday, 03 April 2024 08:30 AM
CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / April 3, 2024 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(FSE:TV3), is pleased to announce the much awaited restart of drilling at its road accessible Pilar gold-silver project in the mine-friendly State of Sonora, Mexico. The Company has been busy reviewing all past data with an independent resource professional to determine the most effective use of drill meters for the upcoming campaign. Work completed has outlined 7,000 meters of drilling required within the Pilar concessions held along with minority partner, Colibri Resources. This includes, 4,000 meters of infill drilling within known areas of mineralization and 3,000 meters of step-out and exploration drilling on the peripherals of drilled mineralization and/or strong surface geochemistry indicating highly prospective targets. All proposed drilling is fully permitted. The outcome of the proposed drilling will go into the definition of a maiden resource estimate for the Pilar Main Zone, providing an important building block for the Company. The first drill hole will follow-up on JES-22-62, which returned 108.6m of 0.8 g/t Au and 3 g/t Ag. The drill rig mobilized to site April 1st and began drilling hole JES-24-73 on April 2nd. The Company will update as drilling progresses.
"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. We now look to continue to expand the overall footprint while we build towards a maiden resource at Pilar. With gold prices hitting all time highs, we feel this is the right time to aggressively advance our projects."

Figure 1. Pilar Project Planview map showing the southern block made up of the Pilar Main Zone and several parallel trends untested with coinciding active placer mining developments. The largest placer mining development is 2km to the northeast of Pilar and has seen no systematic modern exploration. To the north, a large alteration zone that spans 3.3 km by 1.5 km (North Alteration Zone) has returned high-grade gold and silver values in the first few sampling programs across the newly acquired area. The initial phase of drilling for 2024 will focus on the Pilar Main Zone in which Tocvan has 51% majority interest.
About the Pilar Property
The Pilar Gold-Silver property has returned some of the regions best drill results. Coupled with encouraging gold and silver recovery results from metallurgical test work, Pilar is primed to be a potential near-term producer. Pilar is interpreted as a structurally controlled low-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in andesite rocks. Initially three primary zones of mineralization were identified on the original property from historic surface work and drilling and are referred to as the Main Zone, North Hill and 4-T. Each trend remains open to the southeast and north and new parallel zones have been discovered. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Mineralization extends along a 1.2-km trend, only half of that trend has been drill tested so far. The Company has now expanded its interest in the area by consolidating 22 square-kilometers of highly prospective ground where it has already made significant surface discoveries.

About Tocvan Ventures Corp.
Tocvan is a well-structured exploration and development company. Tocvan was created in order to take advantage of the prolonged downturn in the junior mining exploration sector, by identifying and negotiating interest in opportunities where management feels they can build upon previous success. Tocvan has approximately 43 million shares outstanding and is earning into two exciting opportunities in Sonora, Mexico. The Company has consolidated an attractive land position at its Pilar Gold-Silver Project where it holds 100% interests in over 21 square kilometers of prospective area and a majority ownership (51%) in a one square kilometer area shared with Colibri Resources. The Company also holds 100% interest in the Picacho Gold-Silver project in the Caborca Trend of northern Sonora, a trend host to some of the major gold deposits of the region. Management feels both projects represent tremendous opportunity to create shareholder value.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Channel samples were shipped for sample preparation to ALS Limited in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and for analysis at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver. The ALS Hermosillo and North Vancouver facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Gold was analyzed using 50-gram nominal weight fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. Over limits for gold (>10 g/t), were analyzed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Silver and other elements were analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP finish. Over limit analyses for silver (>100 g/t) were re-assayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with ICP-AES finish. Control samples comprising certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company's robust quality assurance / quality control protocol.

(OTC: AABB) (“AABB” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has began its Phase I drill program on its recently acquired high potential Picachos IV property in the prolific mining region of Hostotipaquillo, Jalisco, Mexico. The 4,081 hectare high-grade acquisition concession #239735 is located a rapidly developing area and is adjacent to TSX and OTCQX listed producer GoGold Resources Inc.’s Los Ricos South property. The Picachos gold project is another prospective high yield asset addition in the Company’s strategic expansion initiative to acquire gold production and increase the AABB’s physical gold holdings.
The initial Picachos drill program is currently identifying targets and drilling depths based on the extension of data gathered from due diligence activities conducted prior to the property acquisition. The Company is currently refining the scope of the drill program to set the Phase I budget in the coming weeks. AABB management and mining operations are exhilarated with the Picachos project for its potential for rapid development, high production and low operating costs.
“It’s a very exciting production area where Picachos is located and the property is a key strategic addition to the Company’s mining portfolio that will facilitate the growth of our operations and profitability going forward,” expressed Chris Torres, the Company President and CEO.
AABB continues to implement its mining property acquisition strategy to optimize development capital utilization by focusing operations in regions of Mexico where AABB has a comparative advantage of development resources and expertise readily available for rapid expansion and duplication of the Company’s previous gold production success.

Guanajuato Silver Adds Additional 3rd Party Processing Agreement
https://www.accesswire.com/842830/guanajuato-silver-adds-additional-3rd-party-processing-agreement
Thursday, 14 March 2024 06:45 AM
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 14, 2024 / Guanajuato Silver Company Ltd. (the "Company" or "GSilver") (TSXV:GSVR)(OTCQX:GSVRF) is pleased to announce the signing of a new 3rd party gold and silver processing agreement (the "Agreement") with a local Guanajuato-based miner, REM Marfil, S.A. De C.V. ("Marfil"). The Agreement contemplates the processing of mineralized material from the past producing La Providencia mine project at Guanajuato Silver's wholly owned El Cubo and Cata processing facilities located in Guanajuato, Mexico.
Guanajuato Silver's Chairman & CEO, James Anderson said, "During the month of February we generated over 50,000 ounces of silver equivalent(1) through our first 3rd party processing agreement (See GSilver news release dated January 17 - "Guanajuato Silver Commences Processing 3RD Party Gold and Silver at El Cubo"); with this new Agreement, we will have moved our milling facilities one step closer to full operating capacity through the processing of additional low-cost, locally sourced, mineralized material."
The Agreement covers the processing of an initial 80,000 dry metric tonnes of mineralized material with a minimum head grade of 0.43 grams per tonne gold and 192 grams per tonne silver. This material will be sourced from historical mining facilities located in the municipality of Guanajuato, and in the municipality of San Felipe, located approximately 30km north of the city of Guanajuato, Mexico. The first concentrates from this Agreement are anticipated to be generated in April 2024.
1Silver equivalents (AgEq) are calculated using an 89.53:1 (Ag/Au) ratio; this is derived from 11,839 ounces of silver and 429.8 ounces of gold.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains certain forward-looking statements and information, which relate to future events or future performance including, but not limited to, the benefit from the agreement announced in this press release, the El Cubo mine moving closer to full operating capacity through the processing of additional low-cost, locally sourced, mineralized material; the expected amount of mineralized material to be processed under the agreement, the date for generation of first concentrates, and the Company's status as one of the fastest growing silver producers in Mexico.
Such forward-looking statements and information reflect management's current beliefs and expectations and are based on information currently available to and assumptions made by the Company; which assumptions, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant operational, business, economic and regulatory uncertainties and contingencies. These assumptions include: our estimates of mineral resources and other mineralized material at El Cubo and the Company's other mining projects in Guanajuato, Mexico and the assumptions upon which they are based, including geotechnical and metallurgical characteristics of rock conforming to sampled results and metallurgical performance; available tonnage of mineralized material to be mined and processed; resource grades and recoveries; the ability of the Company to ramp up processing of mineral resources and material at El Cubo and the Company's other mining projects at the projected rates and source sufficient high grade mineralized material to fill such processing capacity; prices for silver, gold and other metals remaining as estimated; currency exchange rates remaining as estimated; availability of funds for the Company's projects and to satisfy current liabilities and obligations including debt repayments; capital cost estimates; operating costs; decommissioning and reclamation estimates; prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation) and inflation rates remaining as estimated; no labour-related disruptions; no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled construction and production; all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals are received in a timely manner; and the ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive.
Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements and information are neither promises nor guarantees, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause future results, level of activity, production levels, performance or achievements of GSilver to differ materially from those expected including, but not limited to, market conditions, availability of financing, future prices of gold, silver and other metals, currency rate fluctuations, high inflation and interest rates, actual results of production, exploration and development activities, actual resource grades and recoveries of silver, gold and other metals, availability of third party mineralized material for processing, unanticipated geological or structural formations and characteristics, geopolitical conflicts including wars, environmental risks, operating risks, accidents, labor issues, equipment or personnel delays, delays in obtaining governmental or regulatory approvals and permits, inadequate insurance, and other risks in the mining industry. There are no assurances that GSilver will be able to successfully discover and mine sufficient quantities of high grade mineral resources or other material at El Cubo, VMC, San Ignacio and Topia (including at Topia buying and processing ore from contractors) for processing at its existing mills to increase production, tonnage milled and recovery rates of gold, silver, and other metals in the amounts, grades, recoveries, costs and timetable anticipated. In addition, GSilver's decision to process mineral resources and other material from El Cubo, VMC, San Ignacio and Topia is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and therefore is subject to increased uncertainty and risk of failure, both economically and technically. Mineral resources and mineralized material that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability, are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them, and may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, and other relevant issues. There are no assurances that the Company's projected production of silver, gold and other metals will be realized. In addition, there are no assurances that the Company will meet its production forecasts or generate the anticipated cash flows from operations to satisfy its scheduled debt payments or other liabilities when due or meet financial covenants to which the Company is subject or to fund its exploration programs and corporate initiatives as planned. There is also uncertainty about the continued spread and severity of COVID-19, the ongoing war in Ukraine and high inflation and interest rates and the impact they will have on the Company's operations, supply chains, ability to access mining projects or procure equipment, supplies, contractors and other personnel on a timely basis or at all and economic activity in general. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. All forward-looking statements and information made in this news release are qualified by these cautionary statements and those in our continuous disclosure filings available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com including the Company's most recently filed annual information form. These forward-looking statements and information are made as of the date hereof and the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances save as required by law.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is providing an update regarding its Request for Consultations delivered to the United Mexican States (“Mexico”, see press release dated December 14, 2023).
As previously reported, on December 13, 2023, Almadex delivered to Mexico a written Request for Consultations in accordance with Article 9.18 of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (“CPTPP”), setting out a brief description of facts regarding the measures at issue. On December 29, 2023, Mexico acknowledged receipt of that Request and stated that it would propose dates for a consultation meeting in the near future, but never reverted with proposed dates, leaving the dispute unresolved.
Accordingly, on March 14, 2024, Almadex delivered to Mexico written notice of its intention to submit a claim (“Claim”) to arbitration against Mexico (the “Notice”) in accordance with Article 9.19.3 of the CPTPP. This Notice has been delivered by Almadex together with Almaden Minerals Ltd., on behalf of themselves and their Mexican subsidiaries.
Amongst other things, the Notice sets out the factual background of the dispute as well as the legal basis of the resulting Claim, the provisions of the CPTPP that Mexico has breached, and the relief sought. The damages relating to the Almadex and Almaden Claim will be for no less than US$200 million, in the aggregate. Almadex would be entitled to damages relating to its 2.0% NSR royalty on the Ixtaca project, if damages were to be awarded.
The Notice enables the Company to initiate arbitration should an amicable resolution of the dispute with the Mexican government not be reached. The filing of the Notice must precede initiation of arbitration by a minimum of 90 days.
In good faith and in the spirit of cooperation, Almadex invites Mexico once again to engage in discussions and negotiations with a view to achieving an amicable resolution of the dispute. If such consultations with Mexico are unsuccessful, Almadex may then submit the Claim to arbitration under the CPTPP, seeking damages for the harm incurred, plus interest, costs, and any such further relief as a Tribunal may deem appropriate.

Colibri Provides Project Update at EP Gold Project; Magnetic Survey Completed
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/201537
March 13, 2024 8:15 AM EDT | Source: Colibri Resource Corporation
Dieppe, New Brunswick--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2024) - Colibri Resource Corporation (TSXV: CBI) (OTC Pink: CRUCF) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to provide this update on exploration activities at the Company's flagship, the EP Gold Project, located in the Caborca Gold Belt, northwestern Sonora, which include:
Airborne magnetic (drone) survey completed during January; report and maps have been received.
Geological mapping and additional outcrop sampling were completed during January.
Interpretation of new magnetic data within the project exploration dataset is advanced and continuing.
Drill plan consisting of 4,400 metres ("m") to test 4 targets is finalized and application for a drilling permit is in progress.
Ian McGavney, President & CEO of Colibri commented: "We have only recently received the final map products from the drone magnetic survey, and it is already paying dividends. The results of the survey have provided "proof-of-concept" of our near-term drill plan, has provided key information for development of our EP Gold Project exploration model, and has resulted in the identification of new target areas."
Drone Magnetic Survey
The airborne magnetic survey was flown with a nominal flight height of 35 m, a line spacing of 50 m, and covered an area of 1,385 hectares. The survey was flown over the western part of the Plomo property adjacent to the Evelyn property and covered three of the previously prioritized target areas on the Plomo property. Survey equipment and parameters were very similar to the drone magnetic survey completed by the Company over the Evelyn property in 2020 (506 hectares) and the two data sets have been merged and processed providing for seamless coverage over the highest priority area of the EP project. Maps of total magnetic intensity and various maps of processed data have been received and included in the Company's EP project GIS data set. An interpretation of the magnetic data, completed by an independent geophysicist and independent of other EP project geo-data, illustrates NW-SE and NE-SW oriented lineaments (Figure 1) which characterize the Caborca Gold Belt structural fabric.
Geological Mapping and Outcrop Sampling
Geological mapping was completed over selected areas on the EP project during January and included the collection and analyses of 64 outcrop samples and the collection of 23 rocks for thin section petrography. The focus of the geological mapping was those areas that have been prioritized for drilling as well as selected strategic areas based on data compilation and interpretation to-date. Outcrop sampling was completed to confirm the litho-structural setting of mineralization and included samples returning values of 3.3 g/t Au, 2.87 g/t Au, 2.85 g/t Au, and 2.6 g/t Au. Petrographic analyses of rock samples from the January mapping are in progress.

Interpretation of Results
The newly acquired and merged magnetic coverage provides a very valuable input into the geo-dataset and continued development of the EP project exploration model. Interpretation and reconciliation of the magnetic data with geological and structural mapping is ongoing, however some new and potentially key observations include:
the wider recognition and potential importance of north-northeast trending structures, the same trend orientation of the Main Zone and Banco de Oro vein systems, which are the most developed historical mining sites on the property.
the recognition of easterly trending lineaments on the Plomo property, their coincidence with mapped structures of the same trend orientation, their extrapolation and interpretation on the Evelyn side of the property, and their potential importance as a control on the occurrence of the San Perfecto target area mineralization and pointing to an earlier stage exploration opportunity (Figure 2).
combined with recently completed geological mapping, which included the recognition of a megacrystic potassium feldspar gneiss unit, the magnetic survey provides for the preliminary interpretation of a fault bounded litho-structural domain on the northern part of the property, across the Evelyn-Plomo boundary, which is underlain by Proterozoic metamorphic rocks.

Drill Plan and Next Steps
Based on compilation and interpretation of historic and recent work, Colibri has identified 14 target areas on the EP property (Figure 3) for continued exploration and has prioritized 4 of these for drilling (Figure 3). Colibri is currently preparing its application for submission to SEMERNAT (Mexico Environment Authority) to drill 4,400 metres to test the 4 targets which include the West Sahuaro, Banco de Oro, San Perfecto, and Pavo Real.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 12, 2024) - Atacama Copper Corporation (TSXV: ACOP) ("Atacama" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of a 10,000-metre diamond drilling program at its wholly-owned Cristina precious metals project in southwestern Chihuahua State, Mexico (Figure 1). The Cristina project consists of multiple outcropping quartz veins that are frequently greater than 10 metre in width and extend for a currently known strike length of up to five kilometres. At least four parallel mineralized vein zones have been mapped and sampled to date, however most of the resource estimate reported here is contained within the Guadalupe vein (Figure 2).
Tim Warman, Atacama's CEO, commented "The drilling program that started this week is aimed at better defining and expanding the known higher-grade zones within the Guadalupe and Los Ingleses vein systems. While the current resource is largely contained within a single modeled open pit shell on the Guadalupe vein, we believe that there is excellent potential to define a higher-grade underground resource at Cristina. Previous drilling has encountered thick higher-grade zones in every vein system tested to date, and this current round of drilling is aimed at better defining and expanding those zones."
An interesting aspect of the Cristina deposit is the apparent vertical extent of the mineralisation within the system. Mineralisation in outcrop occurs at surface at elevations up to 2,000 metres above sea level (masl), while the deepest zone of mineralisation intercepted by drilling is at an elevation of 900 masl, a vertical range of approximately 1,100 m.
The Cristina deposit is an epithermal to mesothermal vein system where the mineralisation is predominantly gold and silver, with lesser base metal values. At least four parallel vein zones trend east-west to northeast-southwest and are hosted in an andesitic volcanic sequence which forms part of the Lower Volcanic Sequence of the Sierra Madre Occidental range. The andesites are intercalated locally with dacitic intrusions and related lava flows and breccias, and the sequence is in turn cut by andesitic and hornblende-plagioclase porphyry following fault trends. In some areas the veins are covered by post-mineral rhyolite of the Upper Volcanic Sequence.
Cristina is similar to other active mines in the region including Fresnillo's San Julian and La Cienega mines, as well as First Majestic's Tayoltita/San Dimas mine.
The goal of targeting the higher-grade zones within the main Guadalupe Vein, as well as other high-grade veins in the area, is to both increase the size and the grade of the resource and demonstrate the underground resource potential at Cristina. The current mineral resource estimate comprises:
Indicated resources of 17.5 Mt at 0.51 g/t gold, 33.8 g/t silver, 0.47% zinc, 0.19% lead and 0.04% copper (1.33 g/t AuEq grade), for a contained 752,000 gold-equivalent ounces.
Inferred resources of 19.0 Mt at 0.51 g/t gold, 27.5 g/t silver, 0.50% zinc, 0.19% lead and 0.05% copper (1.27 g/t AuEq grade), for a contained 777,000 gold-equivalent ounces.
Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
The program is expected to continue over the next several months. Results from the drilling program will be released periodically as they are received and analyzed.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 13, 2024 / CMC Metals Ltd. (TSXV:CMB)(Frankfurt:ZM5P)(OTCQB:CMCXF) ("CMC" or the "Company") announces cancellation of the $1.2 million private placement announced on February 28, 2024 due to the failure of the property owner of the silver-gold-polymetallic Gavilanes project in Durango, Mexico to achieve an extension of the exploration permit with SEMARNAT, Mexico's permitting authority. In addition, CMC has subsequently served notice of its intent to terminate the agreement with Sailfish Royalty Corp. to acquire the Gavilanes project but remains interested in securing exclusivity rights until October 2024.
CMC now intends to revert its attention to its flagship Silverknife Property in British Columbia which has considerable exploration potential for high grade silver-lead-zinc carbonate replacement and skarn deposits.
Kevin Brewer, President and CEO of CMC noted "The decision by SEMARNAT to not extend the permit renewal at the Gavilanes project is disappointing. The preparation and filing of the application was the sole responsibility of the property owner and as a result CMC was left with no choice but to pull out of the agreement to initiate the acquisition of Gavilanes. This event was not within our control and was not possible to foresee by all involved parties. We still consider the Gavilanes Deposit to have excellent potential for resource expansion and be a ‘company maker' and we therefore remain interested in the project under revised circumstances and terms. However, our strategy to have a strong and diversified asset portfolio now allows us to revert our attention to the Silverknife Project in North-Central British Columbia which continues to hold potential for the discovery of high-grade silver-lead-zinc-critical mineral carbonate replacement and skarn deposits."
About CMC Metals Ltd.
CMC Metals Ltd. is a growth stage exploration company focused on the exploration of high-grade silver-lead-zinc critical mineral carbonate replacement and skarn deposits in the Rancheria Silver District in Northern British Columbia and Yukon. Their properties include their flagship Silverknife project which is immediately adjacent to Coeur Mining's Silvertip deposit, one of the highest-grade underground CRD-vein deposits in the world, the Silver Hart Deposit and Blue Heaven claims (Yukon) and the Amy claims (north-central British Columbia).

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/201529
March 13, 2024 8:00 AM EDT | Source: Riverside Resources Inc.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2024) - Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) ("Riverside" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce it has signed an option agreement on March 8, 2024 with Fortuna Silver's subsidiary Compania Minera Cuzcatlan (CMC) on Riverside's Cecilia Gold Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico where through a series of payments and work commitments, Fortuna may earn a majority interest. Riverside will remain the program operator using its local team based in Hermosillo, Sonora and adding strength to its international geoscience staff. The Cecilia Project is a titled and 100% Riverside owned district scale gold and silver, low sulfidation epithermal system, located 40 KM southwest of the Mexico-U.S.A. border city of Agua Prieta and is directly accessible by a well-maintained paved and then dirt road. The project is over 60 KM sq and has over 10 different exploration targets, with at least two nested dome complexes like the domes in Peru at the Yanacocha Mining District and in Bolivia at the Korri Kollo Mine, which have produced well over 25M and 5M oz gold respectively. This new Agreement enables the Project to immediately move ahead with a robust exploration program and reflects the belief, by both parties, of the potential for rapid discovery of new precious metal deposits.
Highlights of the Agreement are summarized below:
Fortuna Silver Option of Riverside's Cecilia project with commitment of work, including an initial planned minimum 1000 meters drilling campaign.
Work expenditures of 500k/yr for the first 4 years and 1.75M in final year.
An initial payment of $50,000 to Riverside upon signing and then $25,000 each year for a total of $150,000.
A total work spends of US$3,750,000 for an initial 51% interest and second option total spending of US$6,000,000 to earn 80% interest.
Option agreement terms:
First Option:
5 years to earn 51% by spending US$3.75M in work and paying US$150,000 in cash payments to Riverside with required work of at least $500,000 in the first year for the Option and Riverside has the drill permits in hand. Fortuna has paid Riverside the initial $25,000 on signing and pays $25,000 more on filing the agreement in Mexico. Then pays Riverside $25,000 each year plus Riverside acts as operator for the program with a 10% management fee on top of the work spending commitments each year.
Second Option:
Upon completion of First Option, Fortuna may elect to progress with a second option to earn to 80% by spending an additional $2.25M in work over 3 additional years.
Third Option:
After completing Second Option, Fortuna may elect within 120 days to pay Riverside $5M cash and grant Riverside a 2% NSR where 1% NSR may be purchased before commercial production for $3M thereby Fortuna earning 100% interest in the project.
Riverside's President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: "We are delighted to partner with Fortuna Silver as we have had a productive and respectful relationship having worked in parallel in Mexico for over 15 years. Riverside has invested in working up the project to an actionable stage and consolidated the tenures making this a highly prospective property that warrants the type of deep and thorough exploration attention that this agreement provides."
Riverside will be reimbursed for all annual concession maintenance fees, property taxes, access fees, and any other payments required to maintain the Project. As Operator, Riverside will manage the exploration programs and be entitled to collect administration fees of 10% on the work programs. Riverside Ceclia project is a high-quality project, and we are excited to see it now moving ahead with mid-Tier Mexico producer as our partner and the project fully fundable this way.
Riverside has the right to sell interest in the joint venture or royalty through a first right of offer (ROFO). Similarly, Fortuna can do the same providing Riverside with first right of offer.
Cecilia Project:
Riverside Resources has undertaken comprehensive exploration efforts at the property, including drilling activities that have yielded significant gold intercepts. Notably, drill results have intersected near surface promising intercepts such as 37 meters at 1.5 grams per ton of gold (>50 gram meter) within the rhyodacite dome, showcasing the property's substantial potential at shallow depths. The project has high potential to follow these intercepts and go for larger intersections and big potential targets at depth.
What distinguishes this project is the potential of a preserved fertile dome system. The Magallanes Target, situated at the central part of the project, exhibits interaction within extensive NE-NW structures, presenting a compelling opportunity for the discovery of high-grade ore shoots and/or bulk-mineable epithermal gold-silver deposits. Moreover, the geological framework of the project, notably its host rock and stratigraphy as evidenced in the surrounding targets (e.g. in the Casa de Piedra Target), suggest the presence of mantos containing disseminated and/or replacement Au-Ag enriched polymetallic mineralization at depth. This geological scheme of the Cecilia Project resembles the Tertiary-age rhyolite systems, like the La Pitarrilla Ag-Pb-Zn project that has a total In-pit and Underground (Oxide, Transition and Sulphide) of about 844M AgEq*, and Fresnillo's San Julian Ag-Au Mine (~350M AgEq**), both situated in Durango, Mexico and also located in the Sierra Madre Volcanic Province.

-2.30%
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Endeavour Silver Corp. (“Endeavour” or the “Company”) (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR) provides a Q4 2023 construction progress update for its Terronera Project in Jalisco state, Mexico. A photo gallery presentation accompanies this news release and can be found here or on the Company website at Terronera Project Progress Photos. All dollar ($) references in this news release are United States dollars.
The Terronera project has made significant construction progress to date. Concrete work is well advanced, and erection of structural steel for the grinding and flotation areas has started. In early 2024, the Company provided an Updated Initial Capital Cost (“2024 Updated Scenario”), which increased the project budget by $41 million to $271 million. This increase was primarily due to a stronger Mexican Peso, ongoing inflation and availability of bulk materials such as steel, piping and electrical supplies (see news release dated January 24, 2024). As of December 31, 2023, approximately $1201 million had been invested in direct project expenditures, with project commitments totaling $1711, 2 million or 63% of the updated budget. With an experienced and seasoned team leading the project, the Company anticipates the schedule will remain in line with previous guidance, with initial production anticipated to start in the fourth quarter of 2024.
“Throughout 2023, we’ve achieved several major milestones across multiple fronts,” commented Don Gray, Chief Operating Officer. “We’ve concentrated our efforts on completing key items including earthworks for our Upper Mill Platform, procurement of equipment, and advances in plant concrete. Our underground mine development continues to advance rapidly as we look to start ore development sometime in Q2 2024. We’re extremely satisfied with Terronera’s progress thus far and remain committed to successfully completing and operating Endeavour’s next core asset.
Q4 2023 Construction and Development Highlights
As of December 31, 2023, site works and activities included:
Safety – Our strong onsite safety focus continues: The Project finished 2023 with 172 days totaling over 600,000 manhours with no lost-time accidents.
Progress – Overall project progress reached 43% completion including a 3% reduction due to the adjusted weighting related to the 2024 Updated Scenario. The project remains on track for commissioning in Q4 2024.
Engineering – Detail engineering for the mill and infrastructure began transitioning to construction support towards the end of 2023. Excavation designs for the Lower Platform and detail design for Tailing Storage Facility (“TSF”) have been advanced using supplemental geotechnical investigation results obtained in Q4 2023.
Mine Development – Over 2,200 metres of underground development were completed in 2023. The in-house mining team has been successfully transitioning from using contracted to direct-hire labor with greater development efficiencies. Development was focused on Portal 1, 2 and 4 declines for accessing ore and setting up the main ventilation circuit and haulage way; the Portal 4 incline broke through to surface and preparations are underway to complete the portal structure in Q1 2024.
Plant Site – Surface mill and infrastructure construction is now almost 50% complete; concrete works were well advanced to allow the start of vertical construction in early Q1 2024. The electromechanical contract was awarded and mobilization commenced.
Primary Crusher – Concrete has been completed for the jaw crusher foundation and the perimeter walls, including backfill and compaction.
Course Ore Stockpile and Reclaim Tunnel – The Coarse Ore Stockpile support walls have been completed along with the roof including the feeder chute imbeds. For the reclaim tunnel, concrete has been completed for two major roof sections with two sections remaining.
Grinding – The concrete of the grinding area is nearly complete and being prepared for release to the general contractor to begin structural steel and mechanical installations.
Flotation – The concrete of the flotation cell pedestals is nearly complete and being prepared for release to the general contractor to begin structural steel and mechanical installations.
Thickener – The thickener tank support pedestals were completed and was backfill initiated. Concrete work has been started for the raw water, process water, thickener surge, and concentrate storage tank pedestals and foundations.
Lower Facilities Platform and TSF – Access road construction has commenced from the Lower Platform and TSF area to the Upper Mill Platform.
Procurement – Focused on procuring bulk materials, including structural steel, piping, and electrical cable following a comprehensive scheduling for delivery that tracks construction requirements.
Onsite Personnel – The workforce had increased to 126 employees and 400 contractor workers.
Community Relations – Supporting the local municipality has continued to be a major focus with sponsoring cultural and community activities in the area.
Environmental – Environmental and social assessment initiatives continue according to schedule as outlined under the Equator Principal requirements for project loan financing.
2024 Outlook and Planning
Endeavour remains focused on advancing the Terronera Project for initial production in Q4 2024, with a comprehensive schedule and plan under the 2024 Updated Scenario.
For Q1 2024, surface construction will focus on completing concrete work to allow structural steel erection, mechanical installations and initial electrical work for the crushing, coarse-ore stockpile, grinding, flotation and tailing thickener areas. Early in Q2, excavation is anticipated to be complete for the Lower Platform, which includes facilities such as the LNG and power generation areas and the concentrate and tailing filtration areas. For Q2 and Q3, work is planned for all mill and infrastructure areas with mechanical completion and commissioning activities planned in Q4.
For the mine, development in Portal 1, 2 and 4 declines will continue with first ore development anticipated in Q2. Initial long-hole mining is planned for Q3 and cut-and-fill mining is planned with ore being stockpiled for mill ramp up.

Highlights
High-Grade Gold, Silver and Polymetallic Mineralization Discovered 6-km North of Pilar's Main Zone
Mineralization Coincides with Artisanal Mining Activity Along Strongly Altered Corridor, 3.3 km x 1.5 km
Part of Same Alteration Trend with Recent Discovery, 2m Chip of 5.6 g/t Au and 106 g/t Ag
Rock Sample from Workings up to:
3.2 g/t Gold
1,225 g/t Silver
0.42% Copper
>20% Lead
3.4% Zinc
CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / March 8, 2024 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(FSE:TV3), is pleased to announce surface exploration results from its road accessible Pilar gold-silver project in the mine-friendly State of Sonora, Mexico.
Surface mapping and sampling across the property have returned very high-grade silver with gold values tied to historic artisanal workings 6-kilometers north of Pilar's Main Zone. Two samples yielded 1,225 g/t Ag with 3.2 g/t Au (slag sample 334067, 4.49 kg) and 744 g/t Ag with 0.2 g/t Au (sample 334066, 3.65 kg) from sample material next to the workings. The host rocks are intensely argillized and silicified volcanics showing an association with a larger hydrothermal system that trends within the newly acquired Pilar expansion area. The samples also show higher polymetallic association with sample 334067 returning 0.42% Cu, 3.4% Zn, and over 20% Pb (assay over limit was reached, additional analysis is required to determine total Pb content). A broader alteration zone that extends 3.3 kilometers by 1.5 kilometers has seen very limited work to date however early results indicate significant mineralization in several locations including 2m at 5.6 g/t Au and 106 g/t Ag, 0.3 g/t Au and 55 g/t Ag, and 0.1 g/t Au and 63 g/t Ag. The massive target area will continue to see first pass evaluation to advance towards drill targeting.
"The results today further showcase the potential for significant mineralization beyond Pilar's Main Zone." commented Brodie Sutherland, CEO. "The North Alteration Zone is providing more evidence of a broad target area. The high silver values along with other pathfinder elements are indicating significant potential for targets at depth. Much of the area remains unexplored to date, however each time we evaluate more, we are returning with significant findings. Further to the south where placer mining remains active, there is clear evidence for new trends parallel Pilar's Main Zone. These trends are beginning to be evaluated and early mapping and assessment are uncovering more of the potential. We are excited about the potential to generate multiple quality targets for future drill testing, driving new discoveries."
Figure 1. Pilar Project Planview map showing the southern block made up of the Pilar Main Zone and several parallel trends untested with coinciding active placer mining developments. The largest placer mining development is 2km to the northeast of Pilar and has seen no systematic modern exploration. To the north, a large alteration zone that spans 3.3 km by 1.5 km (North Alteration Zone) has returned high-grade gold and silver values in the first few sampling programs across the newly acquired area.
Summary of New Surface Discoveries:
Pilar Extension North and Northeast:

About the Pilar Property
The Pilar Gold-Silver property has recently returned some of the regions best drill results. Coupled with encouraging gold and silver recovery results from metallurgical test work, Pilar is primed to be a potential near-term producer. Pilar is interpreted as a structurally controlled low-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in andesite rocks. Three primary zones of mineralization have been identified in the north-west part of the property from historic surface work and drilling and are referred to as the Main Zone, North Hill and 4-T. The Main Zone and 4-T trends are open to the southeast and new parallel zones have been recently discovered. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Mineralization extends along a 1.2-km trend, only half of that trend has been drill tested so far. To date, over 23,000 m of drilling has been completed.

Luca Mining Reports Record Production at Tahuehueto, Consistent Positive Operating Cash Flow Achieved at Campo Morado, Management Updates and Retention of Market Maker
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/luca-mining-reports-record-production-at-tahuehueto-consistent-positive-operating-cash-flow-achieved-at-campo-morado-management-updates-and-retention-of-market-maker-302077035.html
Luca Mining Corp. 04 Mar, 2024, 07:00 ET
VANCOUVER, BC, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Luca Mining Corp. ("Luca" or the "Company") (TSXV: LUCA) (OTCQX: LUCMF) (Frankfurt: Z68) reports the following updates on its operations in Mexico and Management changes.
Tahuehueto
Construction of the Tahuehueto gold and silver mine in Durango, Mexico, is nearing completion with final components to be installed in early Q2 2024. Commissioning is well underway and will be completed as the final circuit components are installed. The mine plan calls for the ramp-up to an approximate 1,000 tonne per day operation during 2H 2024 which is rapidly being achieved. Throughput levels are averaging approximately 65% of nameplate capacity and will progressively increase as ramp-up continues, resulting in higher concentrate production and generating additional revenue for the Company.
The mine achieved a new daily production record of 655 tonnes this week.
Campo Morado
At the Campo Morado copper, zinc, lead mine in Guerrero, Mexico, the optimization program has to date developed fundamental improvements in productivity, operational efficiency and cashflow. Key features of the program include effective mine-to-mill planning, new procedures for ore blending, increased metallurgical test work, optimized grinding and reagent dosing for improved recoveries, and phased equipment upgrades for mine and mill.
The result has been higher metallurgical recoveries, higher grades in concentrate and increasing revenues. We are pleased to announce that Campo Morado is now consistently generating positive operating cash flow. With the planned production of three separate (copper, zinc and lead) higher value concentrates around mid-year, each with precious metals credits, revenue and cashflow are expected to continue their upward trend for the remainder of 2024.
Management
Leading these highly successful initiatives has been Mike Struthers, CEO. Mike came into the Company with the mandate to complete the construction of Tahuehueto and optimize operations at Campo Morado. Working with Luca's skilled and dedicated teams at both mine sites, he has achieved these goals and will now step back from running the day-to-day operations to spend more time with his family and will remain a technical advisor to the Company. As part of the Company's transition, it will continue to focus on operations and at the same time build out its market presence as a growing producer. As such, Ramon Perez, President has been appointed Interim CEO, and Peter Damouni will become Executive Director. Christopher Richings Vice President Technical along with the Company's consulting engineers, Ausenco will continue to lead the operations on the ground.
Ramon Perez, President and Interim CEO, commented, "Mike Struthers breathed new life into the Company. Under his leadership Tahuehueto was built into a significant new gold mine. Concurrently, Campo Morado has been transformed into a positive cash flowing asset with substantial upside as a copper-zinc producer. In addition, Mike has added significant bench strength with important new hires to the operational team. We appreciate everything he has done and we are glad he will remain part of the Company as technical advisor as we continue Luca's growth. Now that the operations are progressing in a positive direction, management aims to focus on increasing public awareness of Luca's achievements as a growing junior producer. We are working toward providing financial guidance in the coming months."
Market Maker
Luca has recently experienced some volatility in trading, which is wholly unrelated to the progress we have been making on operations and revenue generation. Accordingly, we have decided to retain the services of Venture Liquidity Providers Inc. ("VLP") to initiate market-making services to aid in maintaining an orderly trading market and improving the liquidity of Luca's common shares.
The market-making service will be undertaken by VLP through a registered broker, W.D. Latimer Co. Ltd., in compliance with the applicable policies of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and other applicable laws.
For its services, the Company has agreed to pay VLP CAD $5,000 per month for a period of three months. The agreement may be terminated at any time by the Company or VLP. The Company and VLP act at arm's length, and VLP has no present interest, directly or indirectly, in the Company or its securities. The finances and the shares required for the market-making service are provided by W.D. Latimer. The fee paid by the company to VLP is for services only.
The agreement is subject to TSX-V approval.

The technical information contained in this News Release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Chris Richings, Vice-President Technical at Luca Mining as the Qualified Person for the Company as defined in National Instrument 43-101.
Cautionary Note Regarding Production Decisions and Forward-Looking Statements
It should be noted that Luca declared commercial production at Campo Morado prior to completing a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, readers should be cautioned that Luca's production decision has been made without a comprehensive feasibility study of established reserves such that there is greater risk and uncertainty as to future economic results from the Campo Morado mine and a higher technical risk of failure than would be the case if a feasibility study were completed and relied upon to make a production decision. Luca has completed a preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") mining study on the Campo Morado mine that provides a conceptual life of mine plan and a preliminary economic analysis based on the previously identified mineral resources (see news releases dated November 8, 2017, and April 4, 2018).
Free operating cash flow is defined as excluding capital, debt repayment and Trafigura financing.
Statements contained in this news release that are not historical facts are "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements" (collectively, "Forward-Looking Information") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward Looking Information includes, but is not limited to, disclosure regarding the planned program to improve mining operations at Campo Morado; and other possible events, conditions or financial performance that are based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action; the timing and costs of future activities on the Company's properties, such as production rates and increases; success of exploration, development and bulk sample processing activities, and timing for processing at its own mineral processing facility on the Tahuehueto project site. In certain cases, Forward-Looking Information can be identified using words and phrases such as "plans," "expects," "scheduled," "estimates," "forecasts," "intends," "anticipates" or variations of such words and phrases. In preparing the Forward-Looking Information in this news release, the Company has applied several material assumptions, including, but not limited to, that the current exploration, development, environmental and other objectives concerning the Campo Morado Mine and the Tahuehueto Project can be achieved; that the program to improve mining operations at Campo Morado will proceed as planned; the continuity of the price of gold and other metals, economic and political conditions, and operations. Forward-Looking Information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the Forward-Looking Information. There can be no assurance that Forward-Looking Information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on Forward-Looking Information. Except as required by law, the Company does not assume any obligation to release publicly any revisions to Forward-Looking Information contained in this news release to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Fresnillo/Radius Gold: Funding secured to commence drilling at Plata Verde silver project with drilling team mobilized to field
https://thenewswire.com/press-releases/1BQPFGYON-funding-secured-to-commence-drilling-at-plata-verde-silver-project-with-drilling-team-mobilized-to-field.html
March 5, 2024 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia – Radius Gold Inc. (TSXV: RDU) (“Radius” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Minera San Julian, S.A. de C.V. (“Minera San Julian”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fresnillo plc (“Fresnillo”) and Geometales del Norte-Geonorte, S.A. de C.V. (“Geonorte”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Radius Gold, have signed an option agreement in order to mobilize field teams and drill equipment to the Plata Verde project. The option agreement replaces the exclusivity agreement signed in July 2022 under which the companies had been co-operating on exploration. The new agreement provides for an initial investment of US$250,000 to mobilize drilling and field teams, and a second investment of US$250,000 will be made on the day the drilling commences, with further funding provided as approved by the technical committee under the terms of the option agreement.
Bruce Smith, Radius Gold President and CEO, commented: “We were pleased to deploy the joint geological team to initiate our maiden drilling program at Plata Verde. This project has many of the qualities that companies look for when assessing the potential to make a discovery. Plata Verde is located in a prolific silver mining district, it has never been drill-tested and has demonstrated significant silver mineralization in surface and underground rock chip sampling, excellent recoveries in metallurgical testing and has a history of bulk-tonnage production. Fresnillo is one of the largest silver producers in the world and has significant expertise in Mexico and the Sierra Madre, and with a joint team to define the exploration program, we have the best chance to make a discovery.”
Plata Verde Project
The Plata Verde project located in Chihuahua, Mexico, was re-discovered by Radius Gold, and is a historic, large-scale, underground, bulk tonnage silver mining operation. Plata Verde is located east of the historic Batopilas silver mining district (1708 to 1920) which reputedly produced over 300 million ounces of silver from high grade veins and structures. In 2022 and 2023, Radius and Fresnillo completed a geophysical, rock channel sampling and metallurgical program, and a new road was constructed to enable access to the property.
Option Agreement Summary
Minera San Julian would spend over a four year period a minimum cumulative amount of US$ 4,762,000 million on exploration activities at the Plata Verde Project.
Minera San Julian would make option payments to Geonorte totaling US$2,825,000, which includes US$825,000 to cover underlying property agreements.
Minera San Julian would have the right to earn a 70% interest in the Plata Verde Project.
If the option is exercised, a new company (NewCo) would be set up to own the Plata Verde Project, Newco would be owned 70% by Minera San Julian and 30% by Geonorte.
Any additional funding required by NewCo would be provided by Minera San Julian and Geonorte in proportion to their respective ownership interests in NewCo.
Should either party’s interest fall below 10% interest in NewCo that interest would convert to a 2% NSR.
Each party will have the right of first refusal to acquire the other party’s shares in NewCo if the other party receives a firm offer for its interest in NewCo that the other party would propose to accept.
Radius Gold Inc.
Radius has a portfolio of projects located in Mexico and Guatemala which it continues to advance, utilizing partnerships where appropriate to retain the Company’s treasury. At the same time, management is seeking out additional investment and project acquisition opportunities across the globe. Radius is a member of the Gold Group of companies, led by Simon Ridgway.

Tocvan Set to Commence Drilling at Pilar; Signs Long-Term Drill Contract for Sustained Drilling at Pilar and Picacho Gold - Silver Projects
https://www.accesswire.com/837696/tocvan-set-to-commence-drilling-at-pilar-signs-long-term-drill-contract-for-sustained-drilling-at-pilar-and-picacho-gold-silver-projects
Thursday, 29 February 2024 09:00 AM
CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / February 29, 2024 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(FSE:TV3), is pleased to announce reverse circulation (RC) drilling is set to commence at its road accessible Pilar gold-silver project in the mine-friendly State of Sonora, Mexico.
After a year hiatus of drilling to focus on bulk sampling and land consolidation, the Company will now begin systematic drilling for resource definition and additional targeting across the Pilar property. The initial focus will be on infill and step-out targeting within and adjacent to the Pilar Main Zone including where previous drill campaigns successfully discovered the southern extension of the Main Zone, returning 108.6 meters of 0.8 g/t Au, including 9.4 meters of 7.6 g/t Au and 5 g/t Ag.
Sonora is one of the most cost-effective jurisdictions for exploration and development. The Company estimates all-in drill costs to be US$130 per meter which includes drilling, gold and multielement analysis, mobilization, geological and technical support. Assay Laboratory turnaround is currently ranging from 10 to 14 days allowing for rapid reporting and progressive target development. The Company has been working towards a long-term arrangement with a new Sonora-based drill company, Canmex Exploraciones y Servicios (CANMEX). The newly formed CANMEX is made up of management and operators with extensive experience in Sonora including several successful drill campaigns across the Company's Pilar and Picacho projects. Owned and operated by longtime Tocvan supporters Leo Wurtz and Gerardo Martinez, CANMEX has at their disposal three RC rigs, five diamond core rigs and two truck mounted water well rigs. All of this equipment can be utilized by the Company during the next phases of exploration and development. The arrangement allows for cost effective drilling to continue across both projects with a trusted local operator known for drilling excellence and environmental stewardship.
"We are extremely excited to restart drilling at Pilar after a long but necessary hiatus as we evaluated the metallurgical viability of the project and consolidated the area for additional targeting," commented Brodie Sutherland, CEO. "There is no shortage of targets, especially with the immediate extension of mineralization across the expansion area. We are equally excited to lock in a very competitive drill contract with a trusted partner as we shift to more aggressive drilling. The low cost and rapid turnaround of drill results will give us a great advantage as we look to continue to unlock the potential of Pilar and build towards resource definition and the ultimate goal of development."

About the Pilar Property
The Pilar Gold-Silver property has recently returned some of the regions best drill results. Coupled with encouraging gold and silver recovery results from metallurgical test work, Pilar is primed to be a potential near-term producer. Pilar is interpreted as a structurally controlled low-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in andesite rocks. Three primary zones of mineralization have been identified in the north-west part of the property from historic surface work and drilling and are referred to as the Main Zone, North Hill and 4-T. The Main Zone and 4-T trends are open to the southeast and new parallel zones have been recently discovered. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Mineralization extends along a 1.2-km trend, only half of that trend has been drill tested so far. To date, over 23,000 m of drilling has been completed.

Cautionary note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
All reserve and resource estimates reported by Avino were estimated in accordance with the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Definition Standards. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources," "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" and uses new definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" that are substantially similar to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards. However, the CIM Definition Standards differ from the requirements applicable to US domestic issuers. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any "measured mineral resources," "indicated mineral resources," or "inferred mineral resources" that the Issuer reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Further, "inferred mineral resources" are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade are estimated on the basis of limited geologic evidence and sampling. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
This news release contains "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (together, the "forward looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities laws and the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the mineral resource estimate for the Company's Avino Property, including La Preciosa, located near Durango in west-central Mexico (the "Avino Property") with an effective date of November 30, 2022, prepared for the Company, and references to Measured, Indicated, Inferred Resources dated October 16, 2023 as well as the Prefeasibility Study dated January 16, 2024 and references to Measured, Indicated Resources, and Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves referred to in this press release. This information and these statements, referred to herein as "forward-looking statements" are made as of the date of this document. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect current estimates, predictions, expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the estimated amount and grade of mineral reserves and mineral resources, including the cut-off grade; (ii) estimates of the capital costs of constructing mine facilities and bringing a mine into production, of operating the mine, of sustaining capital, of strip ratios and the duration of financing payback periods; (iii) the estimated amount of future production, both ore processed and metal recovered and recovery rates; (iv) estimates of operating costs, life of mine costs, net cash flow, net present value (NPV) and economic returns from an operating mine; and (v) the completion of the full Technical Report, including a Preliminary Economic Assessment, and its timing. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "projects", "estimates", "envisages", "assumes", "intends", "strategy", "goals", "objectives" or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release and the dates of technical reports, as applicable. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the future circumstances, outcomes or results anticipated in or implied by such forward-looking statements will occur or that plans, intentions or expectations upon which the forward-looking statements are based will occur. While we have based these forward-looking statements on our expectations about future events as at the date that such statements were prepared, the statements are not a guarantee that such future events will occur and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors which could cause events or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that the Company's Avino Property, the La Preciosa Property, or the Oxide Tailings Project has the amount of mineral resources or mineral reserves indicated in their reports or that such mineral resources and mineral reserves may be economically extracted. Such factors and assumptions include, among others, the effects of general economic conditions, the price of gold, silver and copper, changing foreign exchange rates and actions by government authorities, uncertainties associated with legal proceedings and negotiations and misjudgments in the course of preparing forward-looking information. In addition, there are known and unknown risk factors which could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Known risk factors include risks associated with project development; the need for additional financing; operational risks associated with mining and mineral processing; volatility in the global financial markets; fluctuations in metal prices; title matters; uncertainties and risks related to carrying on business in foreign countries; environmental liability claims and insurance; reliance on key personnel; the potential for conflicts of interest among certain of our officers, directors or promoters with certain other projects; the absence of dividends; currency fluctuations; competition; dilution; the volatility of the our common share price and volume; tax consequences to U.S. investors; and other risks and uncertainties. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We are under no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements except as required under applicable securities laws. For more detailed information regarding the Company including its risk factors, investors are directed to the Company's Annual Report on Form 40-F and other periodic reports that it files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Kingsmen Resources Expands Las Coloradas Silver/Gold Project Area
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/199592
February 28, 2024 8:30 AM EST | Source: Kingsmen Resources Ltd
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 28, 2024) - Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF) ("Kingsmen" or the "Company") is pleased to update progress on the Las Coloradas project, located 30km from Hidalgo de Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico. Portions of the Soledad structure were mined by ASARCO (American Smelting and Refining Company), the U.S. based subsidiary of Grupo Mexico in the period 1944 to 1952.
Kingsmen has completed additional prospecting and sampling in a previously untested area of the project located northeast of the Soledad NW target area. No historic old workings were found in the area and overburden limits exposure (Figure 1). Silver values up to 153 g/t were obtained typically from 0.1 to 4.0 meter wide, NW-trending quartz-calcite structures, veins and breccias that parallel the Soledad and Soledad II structures, and their subsidiaries. In aggregate, the belt of NW-trending structures plus the Soledad and Soledad II structures is at least 1,500 meters wide and the presence of anomalous silver values in the major and minor structures demonstrates the prospectivity of the belt. Preliminary interpretation of ground magnetics indicates the presence of several important major structures as indicated by magnetic linears. Pathfinder element concentrations occurring in variable combinations in the areas of interest include Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Bi, Sb and Mo. The different combinations of pathfinder elements likely represent different stages or pulses of mineralization.
The belt of NW-trending structures intercepts a newly recognized 2,500 meter long zone of NE-trending structures near the area of highly anomalous silver values at the NW-end of the Soledad II structure. This complex structural zone is located in an area of strong magnetics possibly representing a buried intrusive with skarn potential.
Scott Emerson, President commented: We are continuing the field program with the aid of integration and interpretation of the ground magnetic data to better understand the structural controls on the silver mineralization which are presenting new areas for exploration which have not been explored before.

About Las Coloradas
The Las Coloradas Project ( 8.5 km2 -3.3 sq miles) represents a consolidation of a historic mining district which covers numerous silver-gold-lead-zinc-copper mines previously exploited by ASARCO (American Smelting and Refining Company), the U.S. based subsidiary of Grupo Mexico.
Las Coloradas is in the Parral mining district of the Central Mexican Silver Belt, and is located approximately 30 kilometers southeast of the city of Hidalgo de Parral and 40 kilometers east of the San Francisco de Oro and Santa Barbara mining districts where several old major mines are located, such as La Prieta, Veta Colorada, Palmilla, Esmeralda, San Francisco del Oro and Santa Barbara. As well, new major mining projects are currently being explored in the district; Cordero (Discovery Silver Corp.), 35 kms north of Parral, and La Cigarra (Kootenay Silver Inc.), 35 kms northwest of Parral.
