ON MEXICO ISSUES

  • Congressmen from Sonora presented a proposal to reinstate the deductibility of exploration expenses, aiming to restore the deteriorated attractiveness index for mining investment in Mexico. The governor of Sonora, C. Pavlovich supports the move that can foster new projects, raise production and generate more resources for the Mining Fund to benefit the inhabitants of mining zones in the country. The congressmen are Susana Corella, Sylvana Beltrones, Abel Murrieta, Prospero Ibarra and Ulises Cristopulos, all five from the PRI.

ON EXPLORATION

  • Source Exploration Corp. has completed to date 2,290 m of drilling (out of a 2,800 m program) in 17 holes at its Las Minas project in Veracruz, with samples for nine holes having been sent for assay. “The program consists of infill/extension as well as step-out drilling to expand the mineralized footprint of the El Dorado/Juan Bran zone.” This zone is 420 m long and 650 m down dip, and from 8 to 60 m in thickness in drill intercepts. An initial mineral resources estimate for the mineralized zone is planned for the second quarter of the year.
  • Galore Resources Inc. is nearing the completion of a geological mapping and sampling program on the San Jose and Los Gemelos claims, part of its Dos Santos project in Zacatecas. A new exploration model is developing, with a number of drill holes being planned to test new exploration targets. An estimated 3,500 m drill program is envisaged beginning on the San Jose claim.
  • Canasil Resources Inc. presented drilling results for two holes from its La Esperanza project in Durango and Zacatecas. One hole intercepted 4.92 m (True Width, or TW) @ 257 g/t Ag, 0.64% Zn, 0.63% Pb; while the other intersected 2.02 m @ 89 g/t Ag, 1.8% Zn, 1.0% Pb; and 1.71 m @ 225 g/t Ag, 1.3% Zn, 0.6% Pb; and 5.81 m @ 204 g/t Ag, 1.8% Zn, 1.5% Pb. The first hole is a 60 m step-out to the southeast, extending the length of La Esperanza vein to 400 m, while the second hole intercepted several mineralized intervals within a 32 m wide structure. The bladed calcite textures encountered suggest the upper parts of an epithermal system.

ON MINING

  • Coeur Mining Inc. announced first quarter 2017 production results, including figures from its operations at Palmarejo, Chihuahua, where 360.4 K tonnes of ore were milled at a grade of 150.5 g/t Ag, 2.80 g/t Au, to produce 1.53 M Oz Ag, 30,792 Oz Au. Metal recoveries were 86.5% and 93.7% respectively.

Highlights on the Fourth Week of December, 2016. Mineral Exploration in Mexico

The year 2016 has ended, a year that began in the doldrums for metals and started to see the hints of a reactivation around February-March, with prices that kept creeping up well until the third quarter; As the months went by metals price’s kept adjusting upwards, a whiff of fresh air for an ailing exploration industry; For the first time in several years, exploration budgets for some companies in Mexico were revised upwards at mid-year, instead of downwards, and drill rigs were busy churning. On the final quarter metal prices saw corrections, but at the end of the period these prices were substantially higher than in January. Also on the fourth quarter was created in Mexico the Mining Sub-Secretariat (Subsecretaría de Minería), aiming to have a head with a better position to interact with the higher bureaucracy and push for needed reforms to speed up the now crippled and grossly underperforming Dirección General de Regulación Minera.

As the year came to an end, field activities were curtailed and office duties slackened pace in the mining industry, especially on the exploration side, where most field work and drilling is halted for the last two weeks, until the New Year. During the fourth week of December at least five press releases were announced by companies working in Mexico. ON EXPLORATION, one company presented an overview of its operations in Sonora and Durango, which includes getting back full ownership of a project with inferred resources, drilling two projects and doing field work on a third one, as well as the staking of another. ON FINANCING, one company increased its stake in a junior enterprise, and one other declared monthly dividends, as it has done since 2010. ON DEALS AND CORPORATE ISSUES, a company in the NYSE received notice of non-compliance on one of the Exchange rules.

ON EXPLORATION

  • Riverside Resources Inc. provided an overview of key outcomes on 2016. At Thor in Sonora, a two-phase exploration program was completed with partner Antofagasta, drilling 1,200 m (assays pending). Drilled its Tajitos project in Sonora, with 6 g/t Au intercepts. Exploration at Glor in Sonora, funded by partner Centerra Gold, includes soil geochemistry, a ground magnetic survey, rock chip sampling and trenching. Signed an option agreement with Silver Viper Minerals Corp. to advance the Clemente project In Sonora. Staked the Ariel copper project in Sonora and re-acquired 100% interest on its Peñoles project in Durango, which has about ~10,000 m of drilling and a NI-43-101 inferred resource estimate. The company ends the year with about the same cash position (~US$3.5 M) and same share count (<37.5 M outstanding) than at the start of the year.

ON FINANCING

  • Pan American Silver Corp. acquired an additional 10 M shares of Maverix Metals Inc. for US$5.46 M. Pan American now holds 43% of the issued and outstanding shares of Maverix on a fully-diluted basis (Dolores, Chihuahua; La Colorada, Zacatecas).
  • Gold Resource Corp. declared its monthly dividend for December 2016. The company has returned $109 M to shareholders since commercial production started on July 2010 (El Aguila, Oaxaca).

ON DEALS AND CORPORATE ISSUES

  • Primero Mining Corp. received formal notification from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) of its non-compliance on its minimum trading price listing standard. Primero has formally replied to the NYSE notification with the Company’s intention to restore compliance to the minimum share price criteria within the prescribed time frame (San Dimas, Durango).

Highlights on the First Week of December, 2016. Mineral Exploration in Mexico

During the first week of December at least twenty press releases were announced by companies working in Mexico, including two third quarter reports. ON MEXICO ISSUES, China is already the third biggest foreign player in Mexico. ON EXPLORATION, a PFS was completed on a property in Durango, while in Chihuahua a drilling campaign continues and another one is on the planning stage. In Sonora results from a drilling campaign on a gold property were released, as were surface rock chip results from one Li property. In Hidalgo a property was staked, showing interesting initial rock chip sample results, whereas in San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas assay results were released for a Li property.  ON MINING, construction of a heap leach processing plant has begun in a project in Sonora, while in Sinaloa the high grade output was increased in one property, and development work continues in another one. In Queretaro a flotation mill continues with production tests. ON FINANCING, A C$10 M bought deal financing was completed by a company. ON RESOURCES, a technical report with a maiden resource was filed at SEDAR, and a PFS was completed on another, both from properties in Durango. ON DEALS AND CORPORATE ISSUES, the saga for the control of a property in Sinaloa continues, a property was optioned and one more sold, both in Sonora. A company is applying to be listed in USA and a second payment has been made on the option to earn interest on a tailings property in Durango.

ON MEXICO ISSUES

  • Mexico sets its eyes in China for investment in mineral resources. China is already the third most active foreign player in the Mexican mining sector, according to Mario Cantu, General Coordinator of Mining at the Ministry of Economy. The Ministry of Economy is currently setting up a taskforce in a bid to streamline the process of permit approvals that clarify the requirements for purchasing and renting mining concessions.

ON EXPLORATION

  • Telson Resources Inc. announced the completion of a pre-feasibility study (PFS) on its Tahuehueto property in Durango. The report states a proven mineral reserve of 3.3 M tonnes @ 3.4 g/t Au, 41 g/t Ag, 0.31% Cu, 1.1% Pb and 2.0% Zn, to be mined mainly by underground cut and fill method at a 790 tpd rate, with a mine life of 21 years. The reserves contain 356 K Oz Au, 4.38 M Oz Ag, 25 M Lbs Cu, 85.7 M Lbs Pb, and 161.3 M Lbs Zn.
  • Levon Resources Ltd. intends to proceed next year with a drilling program on its Cordero project in Chihuahua, once the silver price moves up in a “sustained and positive way.” The program will target the center of the pit resource, in a claim acquired after the resource was delineated.
  • Alix Resources Corp. reported more lithium-rich clay layers identified at its Electra project in Sonora. Assays from 31 samples returned 10 samples over 1,000 ppm Li. Clay layers are traced for approximately 4.5 km, over a surface up to 800 m in width.
  • Kootenay Silver Inc. continues the drilling campaign on its La Cigarra project, in Chihuahua. Samples from six more holes have been sent for assaying, and drilling is now continuing on the La Soledad structure, where a breccia zone can attain eight meters in width.
  • Prospero Silver Corp. staked a 4,690 ha mining concession in a high level epithermal vein system 85 km NW from Pachuca, in Hidalgo. The La Florida vein system is over 3.5 km long, with eight out of 22 samples returning 0.1 – 0.5 g/t Au and 1.4 – 11.1 g/t Ag, up to 525 ppm As, up to 6 ppm Hg and up to 6,860 ppm Sb. An additional structure, at least one kilometer long, returned on the only two samples 0.6, 0.61 g/t Au; 2, 2, g/t Ag; 1,595, 1,945 ppm As; and 1.7, 2.1 ppm Hg.
  • Alset Energy Corp. released assay results for 30 samples collected by the previous owner of the company, for three of the salars: La Salada, Santa Clara and Caligüey. The results run from 340 to 1,680 ppm Li, a bit lower than the previous assay results of 411 to 2,590 ppm Li. Potassium values range from 1.57% to 4.78%. Studies on x-ray diffraction show none to very small amounts of smectite, which points to Li not being inside the clay structure and an easier extraction.
  • Millrock Resources Inc. completed a ten hole 1,990 m drilling program at Los Chinos project in Sonora. The property is under a JV with Centerra, where the company can earn a 70% interest by funding US$5 M. Three target areas were tested; El Camino, La Tinaja and Pitalla zones. The best intersections were 4 m @ 0.69 g/t Au and 6.3 m @ 0.18 g/t Au.

ON MINING

  • Corex Gold Corp. has begun construction of its heap-leach Santana project in Sonora. The initial step involves forming two heaps, one with jaw-crushed material and the other with fine crushed, to test metallurgical recoveries.
  • Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. crushed 127.5 K tonnes of ore @ 5.26 g/t Au during November at its La Trinidad mine in Sinaloa. During the same period 21,567 Oz Au were stacked on the heaps, and 279 Oz Au recovered daily. Cash cost is estimated to be below $400 per gold ounce for the month.
  • United States Antimony Corp. continues production testing with an alkaline leach plant in Guanajuato, to process material from its Los Juarez mine in Queretaro. The two options under consideration are to use the flotation mill and the alkaline leach circuit, or to use the flotation mill, alkaline leach circuit, and the cyanide leach plant for the mill tailings. To date tests have shown recoveries of 50%, 70% and 70% for Au, Ag and Sb respectively under the first option, and 90%, 90% and 70% for Au, Ag and Sb respectively under the second option.
