Rio Silver
Investor Insight
Rio Silver’s value proposition leverages a wholly owned 4,300 hectares of mineral concessions in a historic Peruvian mining district, a management team holding a 29 percent stake and over two decades of local experience, extensive exploration data and promising historical drill results.
Overview
Rio Silver (TSXV:RYO) is a precious metals mining and exploration company with a focus on the acquisition, exploration and development of precious metals deposits in South America. The company is currently focused on advancing its 100 percent-owned Niñobamba silver-gold project in Peru. The company has decades of experience navigating the mining regulatory landscape of Peru and considers itself to be well-positioned for the coming mining cycle.
Rio Silver’s flagship Niñobamba property is located in the Department of Ayacucho about 330 kilometers southeast of Lima. The 4,300-hectare property is wholly owned by the company and the project is drill ready. The Niñobamba project partially comprises a 2,200 hectare property which was previously owned by Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM) and Southern Peru Mining. The balance was held by AngloGold Ashanti and Bear Creek Mining but has since been strategically acquired and consolidated into Rio Silver’s property.
The Ninobamba project engulfs a collapsed caldera, an ancient volcano, where the Niñobamba North and South zones were mineralized in a hot spring environment within the wall rock of the caldera surrounded by areas that contain high-sulfidation mineralization with near surface silver and gold deposits modeled for Rio Silver using leapfrog 3D software. The neighbouring Jorimina deposit, 6.5 kilometers to the west, where Newmont spent more than US$7 million, concluded an internal, positive, preliminary economic assessment, detailing a predominantly gold-rich, low to mid-sulfidation deposit found in the floor structure of this collapsed caldera.
The company’s management and advisory team is made up of experienced industry veterans, some with as many as 25 years of experience working in Peru. The team has an in-depth understanding of the regulatory processes associated with mining exploration in the country.
To date, Rio Silver and other historical operators have completed US$10 million in exploration expenditure on the Niñobamba property. The company has low overhead expenditure and strong alliances in Peru that are helping it achieve new initiatives for enhanced sustainability.
The company now holds a 3 percent net smelter return (NSR) royalty with guaranteed minimum payments from a recent property sale and these initiatives enable more exploration by helping Rio Silver with sustaining costs.
Company Highlights
- Rio Silver owns six mineral concessions covering 4,300 hectares of wholly-owned land in a historic Peruvian mining district.
- The property was historically surrounded by big-name miners (Newmont, Southern Peru Copper) and is now wholly owned by Rio Silver.
- Experienced management team with more than two decades of mining experience in Peru.
- Extensive trenching completed at the Niñobamba zone.
- The management team holds a 29 percent stake in the company.
- US$10 million in exploration expenditure completed to date by Rio and historical operators.
- All the historical data has been collected from previous owners.
- Historical drilling on the Niñobamba property intersected 130 meters of 2.55 oz/t silver and 72.3 meters of 1.19 g/t gold.
- New gold zone identified include 56 meters at 98.9 g/t silver and 21.77 meters at 1.32 g/t gold, 102.46 g/t silver.
Key Project
Niñobamba Silver Project, Peru
Located 330 kilometers southeast of Lima in the Department of Ayacucho, the Niñobamba property is 100 percent wholly owned by Rio Silver. The property includes six mineral concessions covering 4,300 hectares. The district has historically been mined by major international gold miners including Newmont Goldcorp and Southern Peru Mining.
The property was initially explored by AngloGold (JSE:ANG) in 2001. Anglo drilled five widely-spaced core holes totaling 861 meters focusing in an area of intense hydrothermal surface alteration. AngloGold’s drilling highlights included assay results of 87.0 grams per tonne (g/t) silver over a drilled interval of 130 meters starting from a depth of 9 meters reported from drill hole DDH-2 and 54.0 g/t silver over a drilled interval of 96 meters starting from 23 meters reported from the AN-04 drill hole.
Adjacent zones acquired from major miners
In 2016, Rio Silver consolidated its property by acquiring the surrounding 2,200 hectares of adjoining land from Newmont Mining and Southern Peru Copper. These included the 2,000 hectare Jorimina zone, which is located about 6.5 kilometers west of the Niñobamba and is believed to be part of the same high-sulfidation silver-gold system identified in the main Niñobamba zones. Along with the property came an extensive database of information including results and reports from an exploration program by the mining majors which encompassed 553 hectares. Newmont’s exploration included mapping, 2,147 rock samples and induced polarization geophysics. This historic exploration indicated a gold anomalous area of more than 700 meters by 1,000 meters as well as four strong chargeability anomalies coinciding with gold-silver in rock anomalies.
Newmont’s historic data includes samples of 17.4 meters of 3.06 g/t gold and 200 meters of 0.26 g/t gold. Historic exploration in the Jorimina zone conducted by Newmont in 2009 and 2010 shows highlights of 72.3 meters of 1.19 g/t gold starting at 53-meter depth.
In 2024, Rio Silver completed a surface access agreement with the local community for one year at the Jorimina project after an environmental impact study and community workshops were also completed to represent the final steps of the drill permitting application process.
Exploration and trenching results
To date, extensive trenching has been completed by Rio Silver on the Niñobamba property. In 2012, the company began conducting surface trenching in areas proximate to historical drilling locations. Exploration has focused primarily on the north and south zones of silver mineralization approximately 400 meters apart with variable thicknesses. Surface sampling near trenches in the north zone returned highlights of 1.32 g/t gold and 102.46 g/t silver. Sampling near trenches in the south zone returned highlights of 42.62 meters of 130.98 g/t silver. Additional highlights can be found on Rio Silver’s website.Management Team

Analyst Report Cites Positive Momentum for LaFleur Minerals with Beacon Mill MOU
Description
A recent analyst update from Red Cloud Securities is emphasizing the significance of a newly signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) between LaFleur Minerals (CSE:LFLR) and Granada Gold Mine, which could accelerate LaFleur’s path to production. The report highlights the company’s progress toward restarting its 100 percent owned Beacon mill and in advancing its Swanson gold project, both located within the prolific Abitibi Gold Belt in Quebec, Canada.
According to the report, prepared by Red Cloud mining analyst Taylor Combaluzier, LaFleur’s strategy to leverage its milling infrastructure while advancing its resource base could enhance its position in the Abitibi gold district. Investors will be watching closely for updates on operational milestones and exploration results.
Beacon Mill in Val-d'Or, Québec
Key Takeaways from the Report:
- Strategic MOU with Granada Gold: The agreement allows both companies to assess the potential for processing Granada’s mineralized material at the Beacon facility. The analyst report views this as an important step in LaFleur’s hub-and-spoke processing strategy.
- Beacon Mill Restart Potential: The report notes that a restart plan and estimated capital requirements for the 750 tons per day mill are expected by Q2 2025, with potential production targeted for late 2025. Once operational, the mill could process material supporting annual gold production of 30,000 to 40,000 oz.
- Swanson Project Development: The report highlights Swanson’s existing resource of 188,000 oz (indicated and inferred) and upcoming bulk sampling and metallurgical work as key milestones before advancing to a preliminary economic assessment.
- Exploration Upside: The report points to LaFleur’s aggressive exploration plans, with drilling at Swanson and historical targets at Jolin and Bartec, as potential drivers for resource growth.
- Valuation Considerations: While no rating is assigned, the report suggests that successfully restarting the Beacon mill and generating cash flow could lead to a revaluation of LaFleur’s shares.

North Bay Resources Announces Discovery of Mass Tonnage Gold Deposit up to 149m Grading 0.95 g/t Au, Fran Gold Project, British Columbia
North Bay Resources, Inc. (the " Company " or " North Bay ") (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce analyses and compilation of prior exploration work at the Fran Gold Project has resulted in the discovery of a mass tonnage gold deposit. This includes review of diamond drilling in 2001, 2005, 2006, 2012, and 2018 as well as geochemical, geophysical and 3D modelling data. Past exploration and development, including over 18,000m (55,000ft.) of diamond drilling, has shown very large intercepts of up to 149m (489 feet) of 0.95 gram per ton gold. The deposit area has been identified to be in excess of 1000m x 100m x 300m within a known strike length of 1700m. This represents an exploration potential of 79,500,000 tonnes at a specific gravity of 2.65. At an average grade of 0.8 grams per tonne the current potential is 2M ounces. There is sufficient data to immediately proceed with a NI 43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate . The Fran Gold Project is next to Centerra Gold's (TSX:CG) Mt. Milligan Project, with Reserves of 264Mt grading 0.3 gram per tonne gold and 0.2% copper and proximate to Artemis Gold's (TSXV:ARTG) Blackwater Mine, with Proven and Probable Reserves of 334Mt grading 0.8 grams per tonne gold. Both Mt. Milligan and the Blackwater Mine are two of the largest new mines in North America in the modern era. The Blackwater Mine has a Measured and Indicated Resource in excess of 10M ounces of gold.
Historical exploration and development planning at Fran focused on delineation of mid-high grade veins with an eye to underground mining of these veins. Very limited focus was placed on bulk tonnage and disseminated gold, although discussed in reports from 2006, no follow-up appears to have occurred. North Bay's recent ongoing focus has been the development of mid-high grade surface material as feedstock for its Bishop Gold Mill. This in turn has led to a re-evaluation of the project potential resulting in what is currently a dual focus with high grade surface material going to the Company's mill and further evaluation of the larger potential of the mass tonnage gold deposit. Data indicates substantial expansion potential at depth (beyond 300m) and extensions of the disseminated gold zones to a limited extent to the West and to significant extent to the East and North-East where copper grades begin to rise. Drilling was stopped in these directions due to the loss of the mid-high grade veins that were the focus of historical exploration and these areas remain largely unexplored.

Corporate Update
The Company has reached an impasse with River Resources the Owner/Operator of the Mt. Vernon Mine whereby River Resources, has refused to operate or otherwise allow North Bay to operate the mine as per the Purchase Agreement regardless of payments, planning, permitting, metallurgy, and mine engineering. The origin of the dispute revolves around River Resources attempted cancellation of the Purchase Agreement, whereby River Resources foisted a number of unreasonable last minute demands on North Bay days before commencement of operations at Mt. Vernon, including demanding 50% of gold produced and $20M in General Liability insurance be obtained by North Bay at a cost of over $1M. The timing of these demands was highly disruptive due to the time, energy, investment and cooperative work that had gone into preparation for operations in addition to the valid standing agreement. As a result, North Bay engaged counsel and sought to find a mutually beneficial solution to allow operations to proceed. Despite these efforts River Resources recently corresponded with counsel indicating this was not likely. North Bay has retained Hall, Estill Law Firm who, as a result of the impasse, responded to River Resources that net direct damages of $390,000 per day for 10 weeks amounting to $19.5M was now due and damages if not remedied would be ongoing, as well as reservation of rights to the gold, mine, equipment, and other valuable minerals.
The Company has reached a mutual agreement with the lease-holders of the Taber Mine to terminate the Joint Venture Agreement effective April 1, 2025. The lease-holders have agreed to refund all payments to date.

B2Gold Announces TSX Approval for Normal Course Issuer Bid
B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE American: BTG) (" B2Gold " or the " Company ") announces that, further to the press release of the Company dated January 13, 2025 (the " Announcement PR "), the Toronto Stock Exchange (the " TSX ") has accepted the notice of B2Gold's intention to implement a normal course issuer bid (the " NCIB ").
The Company's decision to approve the NCIB is consistent with its amended shareholder return strategy outlined in the Announcement PR, and reflective of the Company's belief that the market may undervalue the common shares of B2Gold (the " Shares ") from time to time and that the Shares may trade in a price range which may not adequately reflect the value of the Shares in relation to the business, assets, and prospects of B2Gold from time to time and that purchases of Shares pursuant to the NCIB may represent an appropriate and desirable use of the Company's capital.
The Company had 1,319,616,807 Shares issued and outstanding as of March 20, 2025. The TSX approval allows the Company to purchase up to 65,980,840 Shares, representing 5% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of March 20, 2025, over a period of twelve months commencing on April 3, 2025. The NCIB will expire no later than April 2, 2026.
All purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE American, other designated exchanges and/or alternative trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted by applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Purchases made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE American and alternative trading systems will be made at the prevailing market price at the time of purchase, or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX and applicable U.S. securities laws. The Company may also purchase Shares pursuant to exemption orders from applicable securities regulatory authorities, and such purchases will be at a discount to the prevailing market price.
The Company will retain discretion whether to make purchases under the NCIB, if any, and to determine the timing, amount and acceptable price of any such purchases, subject at all times to applicable TSX and other regulatory requirements. The Shares purchased by B2Gold under the NCIB will be cancelled.
In accordance with TSX rules, any daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exemption) on the TSX under the NCIB are limited to a maximum of 846,788 Shares, which represents 25% of the average daily trading volume of 3,387,154 Shares on the TSX for the six months ended March 31, 2025. Â Purchases on the NYSE American will be subject to daily limitations and other conditions regarding manner, timing, price and volume of purchases in order to qualify for the safe harbor provided under applicable U.S. securities laws.
