Rio Silver Finalizing Access Agreements for Jorimina Property, Peru

Rio Silver Finalizing Access Agreements for Jorimina Property, Peru

Rio Silver or the "Company", TSX.V: RYO, is pleased to announce it is finalizing an access agreement with the local community for its 100% owned Jorimina project "Jormaina", Department of Ayacucho, Peru. This agreement facilitates a diamond drill program planned to commence later this year.

Jormina is located within the NiƱobamba Project which covers an area of 4205 hectares. The Main NiƱobamba zone is located 7 kilometres to east of Jormina where a significant Au-Ag high sulphidation is present. Joramina was extensively explored by Newmont Mining Corp. "Newmont" from 2009 to 2011. The Company acquired the area from Newmont in 2016 along with an extensive database including surface and drill results and reports from an exploration program encompassing four prospective precious metal targets. The exploration programs identified extensive alteration zones believed to also be part of an extensive high-sulphidation silver-gold system identified at the Company's adjacent NiƱobamba zone.

The Company is extremely pleased to have achieved this important milestone. Jorimina was recognized by Newmont as having all the necessary elements to be capable of hosting a precious metal epithermal resource. Newmont completed thirteen diamond drill holes totaling 4377 metres at Jorimina. Drill highlights from the historic reports available showing hole JOR-001 returning 72.3 metres of 1.19 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au starting at 53 metre depth. Historic drill holes were widely spaced in an area covering 100 hectares with drill holes spaced over 150 metres apart. Results are historic in nature and should not be relied on. Rio Silver initially plans to confirm the historic surface results and drill results and to determine the shape and the orientation of the precious metal mineralization. The Company is scheduled to receive all necessary permits by Q3, 2024 necessary to initiate a small drill program to confirm the Au-Ag mineralization.

The surface rights of the Company's Main NiƱobamba Zone located east is controlled by a different community. The Company plans to initiate a new dialogue in 2024 to obtain a permit for surface drilling in 2025. Historical diamond drilling results conducted by Anglogold on the "Main Zone" in 2001 reported assay results at DDH-2 of 87 g/t silver over an interval of 130 metres starting from a depth of nine metres, and DDH-4, reporting 54 g/t silver over a drilled interval of 96 metres starting from 23 metres. Highlights from the trenching program conducted by the Company in 2012 at the NiƱobamba "Main Zone" discovered a new gold-silver mineralized zone which included 56 metres of 1.03 g/t Au and 98.9 g/t Ag in trench TR-01 and 21.77 metres of 1.32 g/t Au and 102.46 g/t Ag in TR-04 ending in mineralization (see Rio Silver News Release of January 14, 2013). These results show that the main zone on the NiƱobamba property has a strong gold component, and further exploration is required to determine the precious metal zonation, alteration patterns and widths. The trenches were cut approximately perpendicular to the mineralized structure, and the true width of mineralization cannot be determined at this time.

Jeffrey Reeder, P.Geo., Advisor and a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101, has approved the scientific and technical disclosure contained in this news release.

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 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.

B2Gold Corp.

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.
