TORONTO, July 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ – Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM, TSX:AEM) (“Agnico Eagle” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its 2016 exploration activities at the Amaruq project in Nunavut, the Sisar Zone at Kittila, the Barsele project in Sweden, the 50% owned Odyssey prospect adjoining the Canadian Malartic mine, the Madrono prospect adjoining the Pinos Altos and Creston Mascota operations and the El Barqueno project in Mexico.  Highlights include:

 

  • New zones of mineralization outlined at the Madrono prospect – Agnico Eagle has undertaken a first campaign of drilling on this recently acquired property surrounded by its Pinos Altos mine property, just 0.5 kilometres from the Creston Mascota pit.  Mapping and sampling of historical mine workings have quickly identified high-potential targets.  The initial drilling has returned up to 4.1 g/t gold and 64.5 g/t silver (both grades uncapped) over 6.2 metres estimated true width at 45 metres depth in hole MAD16-005, confirming the potential to outline additional high-grade satellite zones close to the existing mines.
  • El Barqueno Project – Drilling outlines new, 700-metre-long Olmeca structure and extends existing deposits – Drilling is currently moving beyond the deposits that host the mineral resources.  Significant high-grade intercepts are reported at the new Olmeca prospect, which has been traced over 700 metres of strike length.  Results from Olmeca include up to 4.5 g/t gold (capped) and 4.7 g/t silver (uncapped) over 11.0 metres estimated true width at 85 metres depth in drill hole OLM16-010, and 9.4 g/t gold (capped) and 14.1 g/t silver (uncapped) over 5.1 metres estimated true width at 67 metres depth in drill hole in OLM16-003.

Argonaut Gold Receives Favourable Ruling in Federal Lawsuit Relating to San Antonio Permit

http://www.argonautgold.com/news_events/news/news_release/index.php?&content_id=299

Toronto, Ontario – (July 28, 2016) Argonaut Gold Inc. (TSX: AR) (the “Company”, “Argonaut Gold” or “Argonaut”) announces that the federal court of appeals has issued a favourable ruling regarding its Federal lawsuit arising from the denial of the Environmental Impact Assessment (Manifiesto de Impacto or MIA) for its San Antonio project in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

On August 2, 2012, the Company was denied its Environmental Impact Assessment for its San Antonio project due in part to a local zoning issue.  The Company filed a Federal lawsuit stating that the local zoning plan was not validly constituted and therefore should not have been an obstacle to the permitting of the project.

The Company has received a copy of the federal appeals court ruling in its finding that the current Urban Development Plan for the Municipality of La Paz (“zoning plan”) was not properly established and therefore should not have been used as a criteria in the review of the MIA for the San Antonio project. Furthermore, the ruling instructed the Mexican Environmental Authority (SEMARNAT) to annul the denial of the MIA and issue a new decision without taking into consideration the zoning plan within three business days of notification of the ruling.  The Company continues to review the full text of this ruling with its advisors and consider the next steps that will be undertaken by both the Company and SEMARNAT.  The Company cautions that there is no assurance that permits will be issued imminently and that permitting continues to be subject to regulatory processes of uncertain duration.
