October 24, 2017, Vancouver, BC – Alio Gold Inc (TSX, NYSE MKT: ALO) (“Alio Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased provide new results from its exploration drill program at its 100% owned Ana Paula project in Guerrero, Mexico. The 2,000 metre drill program to twin 11 holes within the proposed pit is being carried out to confirm previous drilling and to obtain samples for metallurgical testing.

2017 Drill Highlights

  • First two holes confirm the presence of high-grade mineralization and the lithology of the previous drilling that were incorporated in the current Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) dated May 16, 2017 as per the NI 43-101 Preliminary Feasibility Study1
  • Drill hole 17-04 intersected 99.4m (from 51.9m to 151.3m2) of 10.8 g/t gold
  • Drill hole 17-05 intersected 74.0m (from 96.0m to 170.0m) of 6.2 g/t gold

“The results of our first two metallurgical sample drill holes are a reminder of the high-grade nature of the breccia system within our proposed open pit at Ana Paula,” said Greg McCunn, Chief Executive Officer. “These holes are similar in grade and lithology to the previously drilled holes and compare favorably to the block model. These results further validate our decision to proceed with constructing an underground decline to test the known extension of the high-grade breccia system outside the current MRE, below the proposed pit.”

http://www.geologix.ca/s/NewsReleases.asp?ReportID=801560&_Type=News&_Title=Geologix-Provides-Tepal-Exploration-Update

Vancouver, BC – August 31, 2017 – Geologix Explorations Inc. [TSX-V: GIX] (“Geologix” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update to shareholders regarding the Company’s exploration activities at its 100% owned Tepal Gold/Copper Project located in Michoacán state, Mexico. After a multi-year hiatus due to prevailing low metals prices, the Company recently reinitiated field work following the completion of a $1.2M oversubscribed financing (see press release dated June 22, 2017). Geologix’s new management and technical team are currently focused on realizing the value and potential of Tepal through a staged exploration approach that is designed to expand the economic resource base and make additional discoveries, with the goal of enhancing the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) (see press release dated January 19, 2017) prior to advancing the project to the pre-feasibility and/or feasibility stage.

Tepal work program highlights:

  • Re-logging of selected drill hole intersections from the South Pit indicates mineralization remains open both inside and beneath the current economic pit shell, suggesting potential to improve the existing resource though additional drilling.
  • High grade mineralization is structurally controlled with potential to extend beyond the current economic pit shells.
  • 54 rock chip and grab assay samples collected from a cross section of alteration and mineralization settings from within the three existing pit boundaries as part of a sample audit have successfully confirmed the mineralization observed at surface.
  • Initial assay results were as expected, ranging from weakly anomalous to high grade. The strongest assays include: 3.54g/t Au with 0.227% Cu (sample 10413); and 0.446g/t Au with 1.37% Cu (sample 425862) (see Table 3 for assay highlights).
  • An additional 484 outcrop chip samples were collected and quantified for alteration and magnetic susceptibility.
  • A US$300,000 budget has been assigned for this stage of exploration, sufficient to achieve current goals. Complete results from this program are expected early in Q4 2017 and will be used to assess additional exploration needs and for drill planning purposes.

AMERICAS SILVER CORPORATION PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON THE SAN RAFAEL PROJECT

Click to access nr20170717.pdf

TORONTO, ONTARIO – July 17, 2017 – Americas Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE “MKT”: USAS) (“Americas Silver” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a construction update on its 100% owned and fully funded San Rafael development project located in Sinaloa, Mexico.

Budget & Timeline

Construction commenced in early Q4, 2016 with an estimated initial capital expenditure of US $22 million based on the March 30, 2016, San Rafael pre-feasibility study. The initial capital estimate was subsequently reduced to US $18 million due to project optimization related to the mill expansion, refurbishing existing equipment and ramp development, as well as favourable movements in the Mexican peso. As at June 30, 2017, the Company has spent approximately $10.5 million of the revised budget and expects to have sufficient cash on hand and cash flow generated from continuing operations to fund the project development.

Management expects that initial processing of material at the existing Los Braceros mill will occur by mid-September. The initial targeted throughput of 1,500 tonnes per day from the pre-feasibility study is expected early in Q4, 2017. In early 2018, management will evaluate a potential mill expansion based on realized mill throughput of the San Rafael ore, achievable future mining rates and current metal prices.

San Rafael is expected to deliver average annual production of 1 million ounces of silver, 50 million pounds of zinc and 20 million pounds of lead over a 6 plus year mine life at negative all-in sustaining costs based on current reserves and metal prices. The project is expected to have an IRR of greater than 100%, generate substantial free cash flow and provide a step change in the Company’s cash cost and all-in sustaining cost profile in 2018.
