As the Scoping Study at Plomosas continues to progress successfully, Consolidated Zinc has found significant high‐grade mineralisation outside the Resource area which could have clear implications for the project’s scale. “These new results have the potential to grow our Resource well beyond its current tonnage,” said Will Dix, Consolidated Zinc’s managing director.

Vancouver, BC – March 29, 2017, Corex Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGE) (“Corex” or the “Company”), is continuing construction and mining activities at its 100%-owned Santana heap-leach gold project in Sonora, Mexico.
Jaw crushing and loading started on Nicho Norte zone in late November 2016. A total of 11,210 tonnes of material was crushed in November and December and loaded onto the 1st leach pad. An additional 11,989 tonnes were loaded in January bringing the total to 23,199 tonnes. The pad loading was completed on January 26, 2017. The heap was contoured and the surface broken up in preparation for leaching.
Construction continued on the bulk test process plant and the completion of the distribution system plumbing with several application methods of leach fluid tested. Application of charged leachant to establish alkaline pH has begun with metal leaching to commence later this month.
VANCOUVER, BC –(Marketwired – March 29, 2017) – Almadex Minerals Limited (“Almadex” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: AMZ) (OTCQB: AXDDF) is pleased to provide a project update. Drilling recommenced on the project in the Norte area in February. A second drill has just been added to the Norte area and has also commenced coring. At the same time systematic mapping and prospecting, which commenced in 2016, has identified copper and gold porphyry style mineralisation cropping out in two separate locations in the Villa Rica target area, located roughly two kilometres south of the Norte Zone.
Results have been returned from 18 rock grab and chip samples of float, subcrop and outcrop taken from the largest of these new zones of weathered and oxidized discontinuous porphyry outcrop, now called Raya Tembrillo. The Raya Tembrillo samples were taken within a roughly 150 by 150 metre area and returned gold values averaging 1.51 g/t (ranging from 0.06 to 5.38 g/t gold, with 13 samples returning greater and 0.40 g/t gold and 6 returning greater than 2.0 g/t gold) and copper values averaging 0.05% (ranging from 0.005 to 0.16%). Channel sampling has now been carried out over specific outcrops in the Raya Tembrillo area and will be reported once results are received. Mapping and prospecting continues throughout the Villa Rica and project area where previous exploration campaigns defined high copper and gold in soils and high chargeability and magnetic responses from geophysical surveys. Once the outcrop mapping is complete drilling is planned for the Villa Rica zone later in 2017.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – Mar 28, 2017) – One World Minerals Inc. (CSE:OWM) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the start of a second phase exploration program on the Company’s Rico Litio lithium property located in the State of California Baja Norte, Mexico. Logistical preparations are underway with field crews on the property within three weeks and concluding with a 4000 metre (13,000 foot) drill program to be completed by the end of June 2017.
The second phase program will consist of 80 kilometres (50 miles) of surveyed grid lines in the northern portion of the property in preparation to complete a time domain electromagnetic survey. This survey will help to identify sediment formations with good permeability and porosity that may contain lithium brines. In addition, a gravity survey will be conducted over the same grid lines to identify the depths of the closed basin as well as structural features and young volcanic rocks that may contribute to the formation of the lithium brine. Historically these geophysical surveys have worked extremely well in identifying structural targets in preparation for drilling.
