[FVI-TSX; FSM-NYSE; F4S-FSE; Lima] has had continued success in the exploration drilling at the Trinidad North discovery at the San Jose Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico. Drilling continues to intercept high-grade, silvergold mineralization over wide widths with the mineralization remaining open to the north and to depth. Jorge Ganoza, president CEO, commented, "What is starting to emerge from this discovery is a new zone with consistent grades and thicknesses comparable with the best silver deposits in the world. We look forward to the continued exploration of the Trinidad North discovery and an assessment of its impact on the company's silver and gold production." Highlights included 39.25 metres (19.3 m Est. TW) of 736 g/t silver and 4.76 g/t gold, plus 6.10 m (3.0 m Est. TW) of 529 g/t silver and 4.69 m g/t gold in hole SJO288. Hole SJO-295 returned 8.80 m (Est. 5.9 m TW) of 1,240 g/t silver and 6.94 g/t gold, plus 10.80 m (7.2 m Est. TW) of 731 g/t silver and 3.84 g/t gold. Dr. Thomas I. Vehrs, vice-president of exploration, said, "Exploration drilling at the Trinidad North discovery continues to intersect high-grade, silver-gold mineralization over estimated true widths ranging from approximately 5 metres to over 19 metres. The grades and widths intercepted in drill holes SJO-288 and SJO-295 are excellent and clearly indicate a strong mineralized system that remains open. The company is advancing with the preparation of underground access at the 1,300-metre level to allow for further exploration to test for extensions of the Trinidad North discovery to the north and to depths below the 1,000-metre elevation. This is a robust mineralized system that has excellent potential for expansion." 40 www.resourceworld.com PHONE: 1-866-873-8327 COMSTOCK METALS DRILLING YUKON QV PROJECT Comstock Metals Ltd. [CSL-TSXV] reported the start of the exploration program on its QV Project in the Yukon. Drilling on the newly discovered VG Zone has com- menced as of June 2, 2013.  A cold spring in the Yukon Territory has caused a late start to exploration activities. The QV exploration program includes follow-up drilling on the VG Zone discovery as well as soil-sampling and trenching on two new zones, namely the Stewart and Shadow Zones, in addition to the VG Zone. The VG Zone was discovered last year by following up a 394 ppb gold-in-soils anomaly. Trenching and subsequent drilling discovered the VG Zone, which is geologically similar to the adjacent Kinross Gold's Golden Saddle deposit. Seven out of eight diamond-drill holes intersected significant gold mineralization, including 2.34 grams gold/tonne over 89.85 metres, including 3.04 g/t over 45.50 metres. The current 2013 drilling program will focus on expanding the length and the width of the zone to determine the size of the mineralized zone. Follow-up Phase II program on the VG Zone will be contingent on the results from the current drilling. The company is assisted by the team who discovered WEB: www.FSCwire.com Kinross's Golden Saddle deposit, including Shawn Ryan and Adrian Fleming.  The QV property is Comstock Metals' flagship project which covers 14,180 hectares within the prolific White Gold District, about 70 km south of Dawson City. Kinross Gold's Golden Saddle deposit is 10 km to the southeast, and Kaminak Gold's Coffee projects are about 40 km to the south. GOLDQUEST MINING REPORTS GOOD INFILL ASSAYS GoldQuest Mining Corp. [GQC-TSXV; M1W-FSE, Berlin] reported assay results from three in-fill drill holes at La Escandalosa on its 100%-owned Las Tres Palmas trend in the Dominican Republic. The holes were from the in-fill program at the La Escandalosa NI 43-101 compliant resource located within the Las Tres Palmas trend 1.5 km south of the Romero discovery. The company is also doing infill drilling at Romero, with the same objective as this program, to increase confidence of the data in advance of any NI 43-101 resource estimate. The three holes were sited in consultation with the company's external Qualified Person (QP), B.T. Hennessey, P .Geo., of Micon, designed to provide increased confidence in the continuity of the gold mineralization, and increased data density, with the three hole program providing approximately 25-metre drill spacing in the centre of the existing resource. Highlights of these holes include: • LTP-141 returned 28.5 metres grading 10.11 g/t gold (uncut) and 0.31% copper • LTP-142 returned 58.1 metres grading 4.03 g/t gold (uncut) and 0.21% copper, including 30.0 metres grading 7.69 g/t gold (uncut) and 0.37% copper • LTP-139 returned 21.1 metres grading 4.58 g/t gold (uncut) and 0.24% copper Drilling is ongoing in the area, including drilling at the new geophysical targets on the Guama trend. n JULY 2013
