VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Feb. 23, 2017) – Timmins Gold Corp. (TSX:TMM)(NYSE MKT:TGD) (“Timmins” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Ana Paula project (the “Project”) located in the Guerrero Gold Belt, in the State of Guerrero, México. Ana Paula is a high-grade, open pit gold development project that was the subject of a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) in February 2016.
In August 2016, the Company initiated a US$9.2 million program of pre-construction activities including feasibility work, infill drilling, metallurgical testing, environmental baseline studies and permitting. The program was designed to allow construction to start on the Project in 2018. Over the past six months significant progress has been made on advancing the Project.
The new CyPlus Idesa sodium cyanide production plant was officially opened with an inauguration ceremony in Coatzacoalcos (Veracruz, Mexico) in the presence of Dr. Klaus Engel, chairman of the executive board of Evonik Industries and Patricio Gutiérrez Fernandez, chairman of CyPlus Idesa.
CyPlus Idesa is a joint venture between German Evonik and Mexican Grupo IDESA.
The new sodium cyanide plant has a capacity of 40,000 metric tons and uses state-of-the-art hydrocyanic acid and cyanide technologies. Special attention was dedicated to the compliance of all environmental and safety regulations, ensuring that production of sodium cyanide complies with the provisions of the “International Cyanide Management Code” (ICMC).
Gold and silver mining operations use sodium cyanide to extract precious metals from the mineral. Mexico is the number one producer of silver in the world and ranks among the top 15 producers of gold worldwide.
“The new local production facility will make us an even better and more flexible supplier for our customers in the region. The facility represents another important step in the growth strategy of Evonik,” said Engel.

TORONTO, ON–(Marketwired – February 22, 2017) – Primero Mining Corp. (“Primero” or the “Company”) (TSX: P) (NYSE: PPP) today announced its updated year-end 2016 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources.
Total Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources
Total Primero Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves at December 31, 2016 were 1.3 million ounces of contained gold and 56.6 million ounces of contained silver. This represents a decrease of 24% for gold and 20% for silver from year-end 2015, primarily attributable to mining depletion (155,000 gold ounces and 5.3 million silver ounces) and modified modeling parameters. In its modeling approach, the Company has applied a two-pass cut-off grade methodology and increased geological constraints which will improve mine planning and future reserve reconciliations.

VANCOUVER, Feb. 21, 2017 /CNW/ – GREAT PANTHER SILVER LIMITED (TSX: GPR; NYSE MKT: GPL) (“Great Panther”; the “Company”) announces an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Company’s Guanajuato Mine Complex (“GMC”) in Guanajuato, Mexico. For the purpose of resource estimation, the GMC includes the operating Guanajuato and San Ignacio Mines and the El Horcon Project, which has the potential to be a satellite operation but is not currently in production.
“Once again, we successfully replaced what we mined at the GMC, and upgraded much of the resource to higher categories”, stated Robert Archer, President & CEO. “Notably, due to permitting delays, the fourth quarter 2016 step-out drilling at San Ignacio started after the effective cut-off date for this Resource Estimate, and the results of that program, which would have added to the Inferred resource, were not included. For 2017, we have more than doubled our drilling budget at the GMC, to 34,500 metres, and will continue our efforts to expand and further define the resource base at the Guanajuato and San Ignacio Mines, and the outlying El Horcon Project.”
