“The establishment of a current Mineral Resource at VMC that is a substantial expansion from the historical resource, represents another important milestone for the Company, and reflects the strength and continuity of the underlying Veta Madre mineral system at Valenciana,” commented James Anderson, CEO of Guanajuato Silver.
“This new mineral resource estimate reinforces our confidence in the long-term viability and expanded potential of the project, and in VMC’s role as a core asset for the Company going forward.”
The update to the resource for the Valenciana Mine Complex is said to be part of a larger program that will see Guanajuato update technical reports for all of its producing mines within the country.
