Diamond drill hole PR13-28 intersected 26 metres grading 0.21% copper and 1.0 g/t silver, including 12 metres of 0.35% copper and 1.5 g/t silver. The hole is on the Combination Zone. The company has a permit to drill another 10,000 metres to follow-up 3D chargeability anomalies. Anglo Swiss Resources Inc. [ASWTSXV] controls precious and base metal and flake graphite exploration properties, including the 100%-owned Kenville Gold Mine property and Blu Starr flake graphite project in southeast BC, and its Lansdowne House nickel-copper-PGE, Ring of Fire Project, northwest Ontario. Ascot Resources Ltd. [AOT-TSXV] has encountered wide zones of gold and silver mineralization in all target areas of its Premier and Dilworth properties north of Stewart, northwest BC. Drilling has intersected 23.72 metres of 5.09 g/t gold and 14.5 g/t silver at the Martha Ellen area, including 5.0 metres of 19.05 g/t gold and 44.6 g/t silver, including 1.97 metres of 38.80 g/t gold and 32.8 g/t silver. Drilling continues. Auramex Resource Corp. [AUX-TSXV] has two prospects in BC: the Brandywine property 90 km north of Vancouver with targets prospective in silver, zinc and gold mineralization and the 40,000+ hectare Stewart properties, a grassroots exploration project near Stewart, northwest BC. On the Stewart properties, drill permits are in hand for the Tide North property, the Georgie River property and for several locations in the Bear River/Surprise Creek claim block: the Breccia Zone, Gravel Anomaly, West George Copper and Grey Copper. The company is seeking a joint venture partner. Avanti Mining Inc. [AVT-TSXV] is taking the necessary steps to place the november 2013 past-producing Kitsault molybdenum mine, located on Alice Arm, on the northwest coast, back into production. A NI 43-101 compliant final feasibility study has been completed. Proven and probable reserves stand at 228.2 million tonnes grading 0.083% Mo and 5.0 g/t silver, for 415.5 million lb Mo and 33.6 million oz silver. On March 18, 2013 the BC government issued an Environmental Certificate approving the project. Permits necessary for start of construction are in process and expected later this year. Banks Island Gold Ltd. [BOZ-TSXV] has been exploring the Yellow Giant gold property, located on Banks Island, off the northwest coast of BC. The project is moving into a bulk sample and pilot mining stage. Multiple mineralized zones are open at depth and strike. The company also has the Red Mountain gold property 18 km east of Stewart, northwest BC, which has the potential of becoming a significant low-cost producing gold mine. Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd. [BGMTSXV] has claims covering 1,164 km2 in central BC along a 60-km strike length, including the Cariboo Gold Project, Bonanza Ledge, Barkerville Mountain and Island Mountain, plus the QR Mine and mill. BCGold Corp. [BCG-TSXV] has released panel sampling assay results from levels 6 and 7 of the company's 100%-owned, past producing Engineer Mine near Atlin, far northern BC. The company dewatered levels 6 and 7 of the mine, which have been submerged since the mine closed in 1928, to access the down-plunge extent of the 505-3 and 505-5 gold shoots hosted within the Engineer vein. BCGold geologists collected 190 panel samples along the length of the vein for 74 metres on level 6 and 173 m on level 7. A number of the samples returned very high gold grades that ranged up to 15,280 g/t gold (445.7 oz/ton) in a grab sample. Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. [BPM-TSXV] has a 100% interest in the producing, underground, high-grade, Bralorne Gold Mine near Goldbridge, 150 air miles north of Vancouver. The company recently entered into an agreement with Metallic Commodities Corp. for the sale of its gold flotation concentrate securing cash flow for the entire volume of concentrate over the coming year. The first part of the contract includes the sale of current inventory of approximately 600 wet tonnes, assaying an average of 136 g/t gold and 60 g/t silver. The second half of the contract is for the sale of concentrate produced between November 2012 and December, 2013; once completed, both parties will discuss future sales. Brixton Metals Corp. [BBB-TSXV] has completed the Phase II, 2012 drill program and soil sampling program at its Thorn Project, northwest BC. A total of 1,738 metres were drilled in 13 NQ diamond drill holes. Highlights included hole THN12-83 that intersected 73.70 metres of 466.28 g/t silver equivalent (284.15 g/t silver, 1.49 g/t gold, 1.31% lead and 1.78% zinc) within a broader interval of 150.50 m of 314.59 g/t AgEq (165.30 g/t silver, 1.37 g/t gold, 0.92% lead and 1.25% zinc). Drilling established a newly interpreted true width zone of 100 metres, a depth of 300 metres and a minimum strike length of 130 metres. Castle Resources Inc. [CRI-TSXV] reported that recent drilling at its Granduc Copper Project located near Stewart, northwest BC returned 9.02 metres of 1.35% copper. The company is focused on the exploration and re-development of the 100%-owned, past-producing Granduc Copper Mine. Chieftain Metals Corp. [CFB-TSX] is conducting a surface and underground program of about 20 drill holes totalling 6,500 metres at the 100%-owned Tulsequah Chief Mine 100 km south of Atlin, northern BC, a polymetallic project (zinc-gold-copper-silver-lead). Commerce Resources Corp. [CCETSXV] has reported increased indicated resources for the Upper Fir tantalum and niobium deposit near Blue River, eastern BC.
