Gold Companies

Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV:ASM)Avino Silver & Gold Mines is working towards re activating the Avino silver-gold-copper-zinc-lead mine in Durango, Mexico. Avino operated this mine for 27 years beginning in 1974. Low metal prices and the closure of a key smelter forced the operation to close in 2001.

Current metal markets and high-grade discoveries on the property’s San Gonzalo vein have greatly improved the economics and feasibility for potential production.

The company is expecting to release results from a 10,000-tonne bulk sample from the San Gonzalo vein. These results are expected to move the project closer to a production decision.

Geologix Explorations (TSX:GIX)Geologix Exploration is expecting assay results from 30 holes (10,000 metres) of resource expansion drilling on its wholly-owned Tepal Gold-Copper Porphyry Project in Michoacán State, Mexico. The company has already completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment study (“”PEA””) and is now working towards a pre-feasibility study.

By the end of June, a total of seven drill rigs should be spinning on the property – four drills allocated for infill drilling to bring resource to measured and indicated category and three drill rigs allocated for ongoing resource expansion and exploration drilling.

Strongbow Exploration (TSXV:SBW)The company expects to start receiving assay results from a 3,000 metre drill program which began in April on its Midway gold project in South Carolina. Drills also started turning this month on the company’s Parker Gold Mine property in North Carolina.

Terraco Gold Corp. (TSXV:TEN)Terraco Gold is in the midst of a 25,000 ft drilling program on its near 1 million oz Almaden Gold Project in Idaho, USA.
