ON EXPLORATION
Evrim Resources Corp., acquired La Lola Au-Ag project in Sonora. This low sulphidation system was identified and staked by Evrim and consolidated through third party agreements in 2019. The land package comprises 6,309 hectares and contains La Barra vein system which extends for at least 5km and is locally up to 40m wide. Reconnaissance sampling returned 58 g/t Au from a historic dump and 424 g/t Ag from hanging wall structures. A systematic soil survey returned Au anomalies up to 43 ppb along the la Barra vein and up to 123 ppb Au in the eastern Adaena alteration zone. Pathfinder geochemistry and quartz textures suggest potential to find a preserved boiling zone bonanza target at depth. La Lola has never seen drilling or modern exploration.
Aloro Mining Corp., received a new environmental permit to drill 14 holes at its Los Venados project in Sonora. The drill permit, which is valid for two years, also includes the construction of approximately 1,500m of access road.
Azure Minerals Limited, released that the exploration program at El Alacran project in Sonora is being conducted by Teck Resources and is focused on the porphyry copper potential at the Cerro Alacran prospect and on the epithermal mineralization at Cerro San Simon and Cerro Colorado targets. Assay results for the drill samples have been received from Teck. Azure is currently undertaking a technical review and significant drill intersections will be released when this process is complete.

ON RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT
Consolidated Zinc Limited, announced maiden ore reserves at its Plomosas mine in Chihuahua.

Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, reported that mapping work at its Santa Gertrudis project in Sonora has extended the main corridor to almost 20km in length. There are three corridors with at least 9 mineralized zones with multiple deposits that have been discovered to date. “Part of the recent exploration work has been between the known deposits where there had been limited drilling by previous operators. Current work is also testing new geological concepts”.
Azure Minerals Limited, reported Q1, 2019 results from the activities carried out at its Oposura project in Sonora. Azure announced that the initial hydrologic drilling into potential aquifers, as well as the condemnation/sterilization drilling on plant site and tailings storage, has been successfully completed. The phase 2 drilling program was completed with a total of 58 holes adjacent to the East Zone mineral resource. Results were reported in previous press releases and confirmed the continuity of the mineralization, and this is likely to result in upgrading most of the East Zone Mineral Resource to JORC Indicated classification, thereby enabling conversion to JORC Probable Reserves as part of the Feasibility Study. “The close-spaced extensional drilling was successful in delineating a zone of high-grade (>20% Zn+Pb) mineralisation located around Tunnel D within the western part of the East Zone and extending further to the west into the Central Zone. Azure is currently assessing the potential for early development of this high-grade mineralisation as access to this area is immediately available via Tunnel D”. Geotechnical studies, detailed deposit-wide variability metallurgical testwork, and open pit and underground mine planning and scheduling are in progress.
