Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 28, 2021) – Endurance Gold Corporation (TSXV: EDG) (OTCBB: ENDGF) has released initial assay results from its reverse circulation drill program at its Reliance Gold Property in southern British Columbia. With year-round road access, the Reliance Gold Property is located 4 kilometres east of the village of Gold Bridge and 10 kilometres north of the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has produced more than 4 million ounces of gold.

The planned 35-hole RC drill program is now complete. Gold assay results from the first 5 holes have identified a new high-grade gold discovery at the Diplomat Zone and have also demonstrated that the Treasure Shear is a gold mineralized structure. Both discoveries significantly open up new exploration potential on the property.

The Diplomat Zone, located 170 metres northwest of the Imperial Zone and 625 metres northwest of the Eagle Zone, is situated in the footwall of the Royal Shear. Its potential was initially identified in the Company's 2020 geological mapping and soil sampling program.

The Treasure Prospect is located 465 metres northwest of the Imperial Zone and 875 metres northwest of the Eagle Zone where a portion of the Treasure Shear is exposed in a road-cut. The Treasure Shear, a northeast southwest trending geographic linear feature located parallel to and about 300 metres east of the Royal Shear, is interpreted as the footwall bounding structure for the Royal Shear complex, a deep-seated regional structure.

Nine holes have been completed at Diplomat with results received on 5 RC Holes. Highlight gold assay results from hole RC21-024 include 16.39 grams per tonne gold over 4.57 metres commencing at 71.63 metres down-hole associated with a quartz, pyrite and arsenopyrite vein stockwork zone. Other intersections at Diplomat include 2.64 grams per tonne gold over 9.14 metres starting at just 1.52 metres below surface, 2.56 grams per tonne gold over 7.62 metres, starting at 6.10 metres, 2.62 grams per tonne gold over 6.10 metres starting at 51.82 metres, and 6.34 grams per tonne gold over 1.52 metres from 38.10 metres in RC21-024, which also hosts the high-grade gold intersection. True widths are estimated to be approximately 80% of the reported drill intersections.

Three RC holes tested the Treasure Prospect with gold results reported on the first hole, RC21-021, which intersected 1.6 grams per tonne gold over 6.1 metres starting at 35.05 metres downhole. This intersection confirms that the Treasure Shear has potential to host wide zones elevated in gold similar to the Royal Shear and provides largely untested strike potential of an estimated 2 kilometres.

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence of the RC reference samples identified significantly enriched arsenic in 22 of the 35 RC drill holes completed. Although arsenic-enriched zones have been previously identified on the Treasure Prospect, the Diplomat Zone, and in step out drilling at the Eagle Zone, this is the first identification of elevated arsenic at the Crown Zone, located between the Eagle and Imperial Zones and an additional RC hole completed recently at the Imperial Zone. For more details on the widest and strongest arsenic mineralized intervals identified please refer to day's news release.

Some of the proposed RC holes have been deferred to a diamond drilling campaign later in the season due to water inflow problems which may impact RC sample quality and the presence of intrusive dykes which will need to be better constrained with diamond drilling.

A total of 758 RC samples from 29 remaining holes have been submitted for gold assay and multi-element ICP analysis, with the results reported when received.

The company has a number of other highly prospective North American mineral properties which management considers have the potential to develop world-class deposits.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2021 / Pinetree Capital Ltd. (TSX:PNP) ("Pinetree") today announced the filing of the management information circular (the "Circular") for its upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on June 30, 2021 (the "Meeting"), which contains additional details regarding Pinetree's previously announced share consolidation and share split transaction. Notice of the Meeting has been mailed to Pinetree shareholders of record at the close of business on May 11, 2021, who are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, and the Circular is available online under Pinetree's issuer profile at www.sedar.com and on Pinetree's website at www.pinetreecapital.com.

As previously announced, Pinetree will seek shareholder approval at the Meeting for a 100 to 1 consolidation of its common shares (the "Common Shares"), followed immediately by a 1 to 50 share split (collectively, the "Share Consolidation and Share Split").

Shareholders who hold in the aggregate less than 100 Common Shares prior to the share consolidation (which would result in less than one consolidated Common Share following the share consolidation) will receive a cash payment from Pinetree in exchange for such pre-consolidation Common Shares held equal to the number of Common Shares multiplied by the average trading price per Common Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the consolidation (the "Effective Date"), rounded down to the nearest whole cent. As such, shareholders who hold less than 100 pre-consolidation Common Shares as of the record date for the Share Consolidation and Share Split (the "Consolidation and Split Record Date") will cease to be shareholders of Pinetree.

Shareholders who hold in the aggregate 100 Common Shares or more will continue to be Pinetree shareholders following the Share Consolidation and Share Split, however any fractional interest in Common Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share after the 1 to 50 share split.

The board of directors of Pinetree unanimously recommends that shareholders of Pinetree approve the Share Consolidation and Share Split. Pinetree has an exceptionally large number of shareholders holding small numbers of Common Shares; approximately 131,517, or 1.4% of the outstanding Common Shares are held by approximately 7,168 shareholder accounts holding fewer than 100 Common Shares. This represents an average of 18 shares per holder. Having provided advanced notice such that small shareholders have had the opportunity to increase their ownership via the recently closed Rights Offering and/or through market purchases, the board believes that the Share Consolidation and Share Split will benefit Pinetree's shareholders by:

• Providing Liquidity for Small Shareholders – The Share Consolidation and Share Split provides a cost-effective liquidity option for small shareholders to sell their holdings and liquidate their investment without payment of brokerage fees that in many cases would represent all or a substantial portion of their sale proceeds.

• Reducing Administrative Costs – Pinetree spends a significant amount of money each year printing and mailing materials required by statute to shareholders. The effect of the proposed Share Consolidation and Share Split will be to reduce administrative costs associated with maintaining an exceptionally large number of small shareholders that account for a disproportionately high percentage of these administrative costs.

The Share Consolidation and Share Split requires the approval of holders representing at least two-thirds of the Common Shares that vote at the Meeting, as well as a majority of the votes cast by shareholders of Pinetree other than L6 Holdings Inc. and certain directors and senior officers of Pinetree. The Share Consolidation and Share Split is also subject to the approval of the TSX.

Pinetree will announce both the Consolidation and Split Record Date as well as the Effective Date following shareholder approval at the Meeting.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements herein may be "forward-looking" statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Pinetree or the industry to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the expectations discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and are made as of the date hereof and Pinetree assumes no obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances. Accordingly, when relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, Pinetree cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Some of the specific forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Share Consolidation and Share Split and its timing.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 28, 2021 /CNW/ – FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) ("FPX Nickel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of its 2021 Annual General and Special Meeting held on May 27, 2021.

At the meeting, the shareholders voted to set the number of Board members at six and elected Peter M.D. Bradshaw, James S. Gilbert, Peter J. Marshall, William H. Myckatyn, Robert B. Pease and Martin E. Turenne as directors of the Company to hold office for the ensuing year. The shareholders also voted in favour of the appointment of DeVisser Gray LLP as the auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and approved the Company's 10% Rolling Stock Option Plan.

The Company notes that John A. McDonald, who had served with distinction on the Board since 2009, did not stand for re-election at the meeting.

"On behalf of the Company's Board, our shareholders and myself, I would like to extend my very great appreciation to John for his many years of dedicated service," said Mr. Bradshaw, Chairman of the Board. "John has been instrumental in the evolution of the Company over the years and he will be missed. We wish him very well indeed in his future endeavours."

About the Decar Nickel District

The Company's Decar Nickel District claims cover 245 km² of the Mount Sidney Williams ultramafic/ophiolite complex, 90 km northwest of Fort St. James in central British Columbia. The District is a two-hour drive from Fort St. James on a high-speed logging road.

Decar hosts a greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy called awaruite (Ni₃Fe), which is amenable to bulk-tonnage, open-pit mining. Awaruite mineralization has been identified in four target areas within this ophiolite complex, being the Baptiste Deposit, and the B, Sid and Van targets, as confirmed by drilling in the first three plus petrographic examination, electron probe analyses and outcrop sampling on all four. Since 2010, approximately US $24 million has been spent on the exploration and development of Decar.

Of the four targets in the Decar Nickel District, the Baptiste Deposit, which was initially the most accessible and had the biggest known surface footprint, has been the focus of diamond drilling since 2010, with a total of 82 holes and over 31,000 metres of drilling completed. The Sid target was tested with two holes in 2010 and the B target had a single hole drilled in 2011; all three holes intersected nickel-iron alloy mineralization over wide intervals with DTR nickel grades comparable to the Baptiste Deposit. The Van target was not drill-tested at that time as rock exposure was very poor prior to more recent logging activity.

As reported in the current NI 43-101 resource estimate, having an effective date of September 9, 2020, the Baptiste Deposit contains 1.996 billion tonnes of indicated resources at an average grade of 0.122% DTR nickel, containing 2.4 million tonnes of nickel, plus 593 million tonnes of inferred resources with an average grade of 0.114% DTR nickel, containing 0.7 million tonnes of nickel, both reported at a cut-off grade of 0.06% DTR nickel. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

About FPX Nickel Corp.

FPX Nickel Corp. is focused on the exploration and development of the Decar Nickel District, located in central British Columbia, and other occurrences of the same unique style of naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy mineralization known as awaruite. For more information, please view the Company's website at www.fpxnickel.com or contact Martin Turenne, President and CEO, at (604) 681-8600 or ceo@fpxnickel.com.

Dieppe, New Brunswick–(Newsfile Corp. – May 27, 2021) – Colibri Resource Corporation (TSXV: CBI) ("Colibri" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its option partner Tocvan Ventures Corp. ("Tocvan") has reported assay results from its Phase 2 drill program at Colibri's Pilar Gold-Silver Project.

"Once again, we are impressed by the drilling results released by Tocvan. They have done an excellent job confirming and growing the deposit to date. Colibri is well positioned to continue delivering significant growth in value on many fronts for its shareholders this year!" says Company President & CEO Ron Goguen.

Tocvan is in year two of a five-year option agreement with Colibri to earn an initial 51% ownership of the Pilar Gold-Silver Project. For full details of the agreement see Colibri's news release dated September 24th, 2019.

TOCVAN NEWS RELEASE:

Calgary, Alberta – May 27, 2021. Tocvan Ventures Corp. (CSE: TOC) ("Tocvan" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce results for the first three holes from its Phase II drill program (the "Program") at the Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. A Phase II drill program is currently in progress with 2,900 meters of reverse circulation (RC) drilling in seventeen (17) drill holes completed to date. Results for the first three drill holes are included in this release. Fourteen (14) drill holes are pending assay results.

Drill Result Highlights

JES-21-38 (Figure 1)

• 29.0 meters at 0.71 g/t Au from surface to 29.0 meters

  • Including 3.1 meters at 2.6 g/t Au from surface to 3.1 meters

  • Also, Including 6.1 meters at 1.9 g/t Au from 22.9 to 29.0 meters

• And, 24.4 meters at 0.56 g/t Au from 67.1 to 91.5 meters

  • Including 9.2 meters at 1.3 g/t Au and 14 g/t Ag from 79.3 to 88.5 meters

JES-21-37

• 6.1 meters at 0.48 g/t Au and 4 g/t Ag (0.52 g/t AuEq) from 59.5 to 65.6 meters

• And, 4.6 meters at 0.50 g/t Au and 11 g/t Ag (0.62 g/t AuEq) from 71.7 to 76.3 meters

  • Including 1.5 meters at 1.13 g/t Au and 24 g/t Ag (1.4 g/t AuEq) from 71.7 to 73.2 meters

"We are extremely pleased with these early stage results", commented VP Exploration, Brodie Sutherland. "As we advance north of the Main Zone we are finding significant mineralization. We are especially excited to see the continuation of mineralization 30m on strike with our previous drill hole JES-20-36, which intersected 24.2m at 2.5 g/t Au and 73 g/t Ag. Pending assay results for the remaining drill holes will largely focus on our new target areas as we continue to unlock the potential of Pilar."

Results Discussion

JES-21-37 – The hole was planned to test a CSAMT resistivity anomaly that correlated with surface quartz veins. A 6.1m zone was intersected with 0.52 g/t AuEq (see Table 1). Followed by a second zone of 4.6m at 0.62 g/t AuEq. Consistent with surface observations and other drill holes in the area, copper values were elevated in this hole with one interval returning 1.5m at 1.1 g/t Au, 24 g/t Ag and 1.2% Cu.

JES-21-38 – The hole was planned to test the continuation of mineralization intersected in drill hole JES-20-36 and to test 25m up dip and further east of historic drill hole R-8, which intersected 40.4m at 1.4 g/t Au, including 3m at 10.9 g/t Au and 117 g/t Ag. Two zones of significant mineralization were intersected, 29m at 0.71 g/t Au and 24.4m at 0.56 g/t Au. Higher silver values were intersected in the deeper interval with a 3m zone grading 1.5 g/t Au and 34 g/t Ag.

JES21-39 – The hole was planned to test quartz veining and alteration recorded at surface to the west of the Main Zone which directly correlated with an IP anomaly. The hole was also planned to confirm the location of the regional fault bounded biotite granodiorite that lies to the west of the Main Zone. Anomalous gold values (0.18 to 0.47 g/t Au) were intersected in the andesite and granodiorite host rocks.

Table 1. Summary of Drill Results

*Insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths. All widths reported are core length. Gold equivalent ("AuEq") is calculated using metal prices of $1,700/oz gold and $18/oz silver.

About the Pilar Property

The Pilar Gold-Silver property is interpreted as a structurally controlled low-sulphidation epithermal project hosted in andesite rocks. Three zones of mineralization have been identified in the north-west part of the property from historic surface work and drilling and are referred to as the Main Zone, North Hill and 4-Trench. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Over 19,200 m of drilling have been completed to date. Significant results are highlighted below:

• 2020 Phase I RC Drilling Highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses):

  • 94.6m @ 1.6 g/t Au, including 9.2m @ 10.8 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag;

  • 41.2m @ 1.1 g/t Au, including 3.1m @ 6.0g/t Au and 12 g/t Ag ;

  • 24.4m @ 2.5 g/t Au and 73 g/t Ag, including 1.5m @ 33.4 g/t Au and 1,090 g/t Ag

• 17,700m of Historic Core & RC drilling. Highlights include:

  • 61.0m @ 0.8 g/t Au

  • 16.5m @ 53.5g/t Au and 53 g/t Ag

  • 13.0m @ 9.6 g/t Au

  • 9.0m @ 10.2 g/t Au and 46 g/t Ag

Soil and Rock sampling results from undrilled areas indicate mineralization extends towards the southeast from the Main Zone and 4-Trench Zone. Recent Surface exploration has defined three new target areas: Triple Vein Zone, SE Vein Zone and 4 Trench Extension.

Brodie A. Sutherland, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Tocvan Ventures Corp. and a qualified person ("QP") as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this release.

Syrah Resources Limited (ASX:SYR) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 17% in the last quarter. But that doesn't detract from the splendid returns of the last year. Like an eagle, the share price soared 229% in that time. So it may be that the share price is simply cooling off after a strong rise. More important, going forward, is how the business itself is going.

See our latest analysis for Syrah Resources

Given that Syrah Resources didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. When a company doesn't make profits, we'd generally expect to see good revenue growth. That's because fast revenue growth can be easily extrapolated to forecast profits, often of considerable size.

In the last year Syrah Resources saw its revenue shrink by 85%. We're a little surprised to see the share price pop 229% in the last year. This is a good example of how buyers can push up prices even before the fundamental metrics show much growth. Of course, it could be that the market expected this revenue drop.

You can see how earnings and revenue have changed over time in the image below (click on the chart to see the exact values).

We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Having said that, most people consider earnings and revenue growth trends to be a more meaningful guide to the business. You can see what analysts are predicting for Syrah Resources in this interactive graph of future profit estimates.

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that Syrah Resources has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 229% in the last twelve months. That certainly beats the loss of about 13% per year over the last half decade. The long term loss makes us cautious, but the short term TSR gain certainly hints at a brighter future. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Syrah Resources better, we need to consider many other factors. Case in point: We've spotted 3 warning signs for Syrah Resources you should be aware of.

Syrah Resources is not the only stock that insiders are buying. For those who like to find winning investments this free list of growing companies with recent insider purchasing, could be just the ticket.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 27, 2021) – David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PBM) ("Pacific Bay" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Company's exploration strategy and program for its 100% owned Wheaton Creek Gold and Haskins-Reed polymetallic properties.

Wheaton Creek:

The recommended exploration includes:

• Site visit by the VP Exploration & VP Operations

• Airborne magnetic geophysics survey

• Geochemical soil survey

Diamond drilling is expected to commence in June following an initial reconnaissance by Pacific Bay staff.

From Pacific Bay Minerals' VP Exploration, Sebastien Ah Fat, P.Geo., "Wheaton Creek is a fairly underexplored prospect. We're giving it a fresh look and applying a new understanding of the geology in the area as part of our exploration strategy. It is once again an exciting property for the Company and we look forward to the results of our exploration campaign later this summer."

Wheaton Creek Highlights:

• 3,019 hectares of mineral tenures 100% owned by the Company

• 1986 drillhole 86-01 intercepted 5.38 grams per tonne of gold over 3.05 metres with visible gold

• 5-year multi-year area based (MYAB) permit in good standing

• Notice of work (NOW) application approved

Haskins-Reed:

The Haskins-Reed Polymetallic Property remains a project of merit for the Company. Work is ongoing by the management team to compile data from the historical work conducted (including 200+ drill holes into multiple mineralized zones) in order to identify additional opportunities for shareholder value creation including additional exploration/development and/or joint-venture agreement.

Haskins-Reed Highlights:

• 3,930 hectares of mineral tenures 100% owned by Pacific Bay Minerals

• High-grade carbonate replacement deposit similar to Coeur's Silvertip mine.

• 2011 high grade intercept of 102.59 grams per tonne of silver over 13.95 metres

• Adjacent to Cassiar Gold's:

  • Taurus (1M oz gold inferred resource)

  • Table Mountain (past producing and permitted high grade gold mine).

Note: all above reported intercepts are core lengths only as the true width of the structures has not yet been determined.

Corporate Development:

In addition to work being done on current portfolio properties, the Company has been active in implementing its strategic growth plan. Given strong precious metals markets, the management team continues to evaluate accretive acquisitions of brownfield projects meeting specific target criteria including those where:

• Early exploration has been completed

• Established resource with the potential for expansion

• Near term pathway to commercial production and sustained cashflow

Additional fundraising and corporate development activities are planned for the third/fourth quarter of 2021 to meet the Company's growth objectives.

The Company's VP of Operations, Antonio Vespa, comments, "Our vision is to eventually become a junior metals producer. Our management team is doing great work in bringing forth projects to evaluate that meet our criteria and could potentially help us drive shareholder value."

KELOWNA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2021 / Diamcor Mining Inc. (TSX-V.DMI / OTCQB-DMIFF), ("Diamcor" or, the "Company") today announced it is proceeding with the expansion of processing facilities at the Company's Krone Endora at Venetia Project (the "Project"). The Company originally targeted the expansion for 2020; however, due to the events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and associated public health restrictions implemented in South Africa, those plans were intentionally delayed in an effort to lower expenses and capital expenditures during that time. The Company's Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Kurt Petersen, has outlined a strategy based on an extensive ongoing evaluation of the Project's heavy equipment fleet, operations, processing plants, final recovery systems, mineral resource management and rehabilitation commitments.

The expansion is targeted to take place in two phases. The first phase will be aimed at doubling the current processing volumes in the near-term, with the second aimed at finalizing the Project's mining and processing scheme to significantly enhance long-term processing volume capabilities as part of the Company's overall long-term mineral project management strategy. These plans are not expected to affect the on-going processing efforts currently underway. The initial phase will consist of a new final x-ray recovery process aimed at increasing diamond recovery efficiencies, and additional processing equipment to improve bulk materials reduction. Planned completion for this initial phase is prior to the end of the Company's second quarter ending September 30, 2021.

A second larger phase will focus on completing the groundwork necessary for future expansion capabilities. The Company plans to consolidate its current facilities to further increase throughputs, reduce the overall processing footprint and unit costs, and minimize environmental disturbance. Additional heavy equipment will also be added if required to support these objectives. This overall strategy will be supported by the parallel activities of drilling and bulk sampling of prospective target areas of the Project, which is scheduled to commence prior to the end of 2021.

"We are very pleased with this blueprint for expansion completed by our team", stated Mr. Dean Taylor, Diamcor CEO. "The expansion and further refinement of our facilities is simply a continuation of our pre-COVID-19 plans to support future growth, with the two-stage approach designed to increase volumes and revenues in the near-term, with the goal to fund our planned expansion through increased cash flow".

About Diamcor Mining Inc.

Diamcor Mining Inc. is a fully reporting publicly traded junior diamond mining company which is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol V.DMI, and on the OTC QB International under the symbol DMIFF. The Company has a well-established operational and production history in South Africa and extensive prior experience supplying rough diamonds to the world market.

About the Tiffany & Co. Alliance

The Company has established a long-term strategic alliance and first right of refusal with Tiffany & Co. Canada, a subsidiary of world-famous New York based Tiffany & Co., to purchase up to 100% of the future production of rough diamonds from the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project at then current prices to be determined by the parties on an ongoing basis. In conjunction with this first right of refusal, Tiffany & Co. Canada also provided the Company with financing to advance the Project. For additional information on Tiffany & Co., please visit their website at www.tiffany.com.

About Krone-Endora at Venetia

In February 2011, Diamcor acquired the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project from De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited, consisting of the prospecting rights over the farms Krone 104 and Endora 66, which represent a combined surface area of approximately 5,888 hectares directly adjacent to De Beers' flagship Venetia Diamond Mine in South Africa. On September 11, 2014, the Company announced that the South African Department of Mineral Resources had granted a Mining Right for the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project encompassing 657.71 hectares of the Project's total area of 5,888 hectares. The Company has also submitted an application for a mining right over the remaining areas of the Project. The deposits which occur on the properties of Krone and Endora have been identified as a higher-grade "Alluvial" basal deposit which is covered by a lower-grade upper "Eluvial" deposit. The deposits are proposed to be the result of the direct-shift (in respect to the "Eluvial" deposit) and erosion (in respect to the "Alluvial" deposit) of material from the higher grounds of the adjacent Venetia Kimberlite areas. The deposits on Krone-Endora occur in two layers with a maximum total depth of approximately 15.0 metres from surface to bedrock, allowing for a very low-cost mining operation to be employed with the potential for near-term diamond production from a known high-quality source. Krone-Endora also benefits from the significant development of infrastructure and services already in place due to its location directly adjacent to the Venetia Mine.

Qualified Person Statement:

Mr. James P. Hawkins (B.Sc., P.Geo.), is Manager of Exploration & Special Projects for Diamcor Mining Inc., and the Qualified Person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 responsible for overseeing the execution of Diamcor's exploration programmes and a Member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta ("APEGA").

In the past three years, the share price of Gem Diamonds Limited (LON:GEMD) has struggled to grow and now shareholders are sitting on a loss. Despite positive EPS growth in the past few years, the share price hasn't tracked the fundamental performance of the company. Shareholders may want to question the board on the future direction of the company at the upcoming AGM on 02 June 2021. They could also try to influence management and firm direction through voting on resolutions such as executive remuneration and other company matters. Here's our take on why we think shareholders may want to be cautious of approving a raise for the CEO at the moment.

See our latest analysis for Gem Diamonds

How Does Total Compensation For Clifford Elphick Compare With Other Companies In The Industry?

At the time of writing, our data shows that Gem Diamonds Limited has a market capitalization of UK£97m, and reported total annual CEO compensation of US$1.3m for the year to December 2020. That's a notable increase of 10% on last year. We think total compensation is more important but our data shows that the CEO salary is lower, at US$645k.

On comparing similar-sized companies in the industry with market capitalizations below UK£142m, we found that the median total CEO compensation was US$221k. Accordingly, our analysis reveals that Gem Diamonds Limited pays Clifford Elphick north of the industry median.

On an industry level, around 63% of total compensation represents salary and 38% is other remuneration. In Gem Diamonds' case, non-salary compensation represents a greater slice of total remuneration, in comparison to the broader industry. It's important to note that a slant towards non-salary compensation suggests that total pay is tied to the company's performance.

A Look at Gem Diamonds Limited's Growth Numbers

Over the past three years, Gem Diamonds Limited has seen its earnings per share (EPS) grow by 45% per year. In the last year, its revenue is up 4.2%.

Shareholders would be glad to know that the company has improved itself over the last few years. It's good to see a bit of revenue growth, as this suggests the business is able to grow sustainably. Moving away from current form for a second, it could be important to check this free visual depiction of what analysts expect for the future.

Has Gem Diamonds Limited Been A Good Investment?

The return of -36% over three years would not have pleased Gem Diamonds Limited shareholders. So shareholders would probably want the company to be less generous with CEO compensation.

In Summary…

Shareholders have not seen their shares grow in value, rather they have seen their shares decline. The stock's movement is disjointed with the company's earnings growth, which ideally should move in the same direction. Shareholders would be keen to know what's holding the stock back when earnings have grown. The upcoming AGM will be a chance for shareholders to question the board on key matters, such as CEO remuneration or any other issues they might have and revisit their investment thesis with regards to the company.

CEO compensation is an important area to keep your eyes on, but we've also need to pay attention to other attributes of the company. That's why we did our research, and identified 3 warning signs for Gem Diamonds (of which 1 is significant!) that you should know about in order to have a holistic understanding of the stock.

Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking at a different set of stocks. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies.

Drilling 2021 3D-Targets

MONTREAL, May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD) is pleased to report that drilling will resume on its Mythril Cu-Mo-Au-Ag project, wholly owned by Midland and located in Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec. In late 2018, Midland discovered Mythril by prospecting and concluded a strategic investment with BHP Billiton Canada Inc. (“BHP”) during the spring of 2019 totalling $5.85 million for copper exploration in Quebec. A minimum 2,000-metre campaign will test new targets generated by a new 3D Leapfrog Geo model and is starting early June 2021.

Mythril: A significant Cu-Mo-Au-Ag surface discovery in James Bay

The Mythril copper-molybdenum-gold-silver (Cu-Mo-Au-Ag) zone consists of a series of mineralized subcropping boulder fields and Cu-Mo-Au-Ag showings occurring now over a distance of more than 3 kilometres. Located about 7 kilometres south of the Trans-Taïga road and hosted in Archean rocks of the Superior Province, a first nine days of prospecting in 2018 highlighted the discovery of 11 new surface Cu-Mo-Au-Ag and 2 molybdenum-only showings, yielding values such as 2.74% Cu, 0.44 g/t Au, 0.06% Mo and 24.3 g/t Ag over 2.7 metres in a channel on the Celeborn showing. Fifty-seven (57) grab samples from mineralized outcrops along 2 km strike length returned an average of 2.03% Cu, 0.48 g/t Au, 0.18% Mo and 18.3 g/t Ag. One hundred and sixteen (116) mineralized boulders were found, yielding an average of 1.92% Cu, 0.87 g/t Au, 0.11% Mo and 20.7 g/t Ag.

Table 1: Summary of the best Cu-Au-Mo-Ag showings found in 2018

*Note that grab samples are selective by nature and values reported are not representative of mineralized zones. Results from grab samples were disclosed in the November 6, 2018 and October 16, 2018 press releases.

Table 2: Summary of the best boulders found in 2018

*Metal prices used to calculate CuEq.: Au $1,285/oz, Cu $2.77/lb, Ag $15/oz, Mo $10.90/lb. Metal recovery is assumed to be 100%.

Table 3: Summary of the best channel results from the Celeborn and Galadriel showings

**Note that the true thickness of mineralized intervals cannot be determined at this time with the information currently available.

A dipole-dipole induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey performed during the winter of 2019 indicated a large zone (more than 2 kilometres long by hundreds of metres wide) of anomalously high chargeability coupled with decreases of resistivity that is remarkably coincident with known Cu-Au-Mo-Ag mineralized showings and boulder fields, as well as Cu-Mo soil anomalies (see press release by Midland dated February 28, 2019).

Several new mineralized boulder fields were found in 2019 by further prospecting, located several kilometres north and northeast of the previously known Mythril showings (see press releases by Midland dated November 7, 2019 and September 5, 2019). A first occurrence of predominantly gold mineralization on Mythril was found in one of these boulder fields, to the northeast of the main trend. The gold-bearing boulders (2.84 g/t Au; 2.83 g/t Au; 0.59 g/t Au; grab samples) contain low copper (<0.15% Cu) and molybdenum (<0.01% Mo) values and consist of pyrite (up to 1%), magnetite and trace chalcopyrite in a biotite-altered granodiorite. These new 2019 boulder fields made it possible to observe a systematic increase of gold versus copper content to the east and north of the project. This type of multi-kilometre-scale variation is typical of large-scale hydrothermal systems. These new highly prospective areas were covered by an extensive IP geophysical survey in the winter of 2020 (see press release by Midland dated August 11, 2020).

Three diamond drilling campaigns were conducted in 2019 following the IP survey, which yielded grades up to 1.07% Cu, 0.37 g/t Au and 8.87 g/t Ag (1.41% CuEq.*) over 12.55 metres intersected in drill hole MYT-19-06 (see press release by Midland dated May 16, 2019). The drilling phases successfully identified an anomalous Cu-Mo-Au-Ag halo on the project and permitted the creation of a 3D Leapfrog Geo model. The best drilling results are summarized below. Note that the true thickness of reported drill intervals cannot be determined with the information currently available.

• Phase 1 (published on May 16, 2019): MYT-19-06: 1.07% Cu, 0.37 g/t Au and 8.87 g/t Ag (1.41% CuEq.*) over 12.55 metres.

• Phase 2a (published on July 30, 2019): MYT-19-11 (1300E): 1.34% Cu, 0.69 g/t Au, 0.04% Mo and 9.54 g/t Ag (2.04% CuEq.*) over 9.00 metres.

• Phase 2b (published on September 5, 2019): MYT-19-24 (200E): 1.61% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.01% Mo and 6.7 g/t Ag (1.77% CuEq.*) over 3.12 metres.

• Phase 3 (published on November 5, 2019): MYT-19-33 (1200E): 0.11% Cu, 0.06 g/t Au and 2.7 g/t Ag (0.19% CuEq.*) over 93.1 metres.

New targets generated from the new 3D model and drilling campaign (2,000 m)

During the past year, a 3D geological model of mineralization in the main area of the Mythril project was built using Leapfrog Geo, to improve our understanding of the controls of the mineralized system and define new drilling potential. A total of 10 drilling targets were generated by studying relationships between known geology, alteration and geophysics in the model, for a total of 2,500 metres, of which 2,000 metres will be drilled during this program.

Modelling of the mineralized envelope was carried out to determine where gaps of information on Cu-Au-Mo-Ag mineralization were associated with favourable geological and geophysical settings to expand the mineralized halo. Such targets include untested areas of IP chargeability anomalies between open drill hole intersections as well as protuberant magnetic anomalies on the 3D magnetic inversion model occurring near the conglomerate contact to the south. The magnetic 3D anomaly targets aim towards magnetite-bearing Cu-Mo-Au-Ag mineralization such as those observed on surface at the Liv and Luthien showings.

The gold-bearing boulders found in 2019 to the northeast of the main trend were found to coincide with an IP anomaly and will also be tested during this drilling phase.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2021 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it has begun the 2021 exploration program at its Golden Promise Gold Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt. Exploration is underway in the northern region of the property to define trenching and drilling targets. Two rock samples collected by the Company during 2017 from quartz float in this region returned 57.5 and 200 grams / tonne gold (Company News Release of August 28, 2017). This is referred to as the Branden float occurrence.

Great Atlantic is currently conducting prospecting and rock / soil geochemical sampling in the area of the Branden float occurrence. Following this work, the Company will continue the 2021 exploration program on multiple target areas throughout the property. Planned work consists of prospecting, rock / soil geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, trenching and diamond drilling. The Company is preparing trenching and diamond drilling permit applications for priority areas including the Jaclyn Zone, the Otter Brook gold showing and a zone of gold soil geochemical anomalies within the southwest region of the property (referred to as Soil Anomaly No. 1).

The Golden Promise Property hosts gold bearing quartz veins in various regions of the property including the Jaclyn Zone, Shawn's Shot vein, Otter Brook showing, Linda / Snow White quartz vein system and the Gabbro occurrence. Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade gold at the Jaclyn Main Zone during 2019 drilling, including core length intercepts of 113.07 grams / tonne (g/t) gold over 0.55 meters and 61.35 g/t gold over 2.04 meters. The Company confirmed gold mineralization at the Otter Brook showing during 2020 including an outcrop grab sample returning 5.75 g/t gold. In addition to the high-grade float at the Branden float occurrence Great Atlantic has confirmed high grade quartz vein float at the Jaclyn North Subzone (including samples returning 157.5, 163.9, 208.5 and 332.6 g/t gold). Please see the Company's website for news releases reporting previous work.

The Golden Promise Property is located within a region of recent significant gold discoveries. The property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Within the Exploits Subzone, the property lies along the north-northwestern fringe of the Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a volcano-sedimentary terrane. The northwestern margin of the Golden Promise Property occurs proximal to, and, in part, contiguous with a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone, known as the RIL. The RIL forms the western boundary of the Exploits Subzone. Recent significant gold discoveries within the Exploits Subzone include those of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSX.MOZ) at the Valentine Gold Project, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Gold Project and New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV.NFG) at the Queensway Project. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Gold Project, Moosehead Gold Project, and Queensway Project is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Golden Promise Property.

Great Atlantic reported a National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ) in late 2018 (Company News Release of December 6, 2018; and Sedar-filed National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden Promise Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated December 4, 2018 by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim, B.Sc., P.Geo.). The reported inferred mineral resource estimate for the JMZ is as follows:

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources estimated will be converted into Mineral Reserves.
Mineral resource tonnage and contained metal have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate, and numbers may not add due to rounding.
Mineral resource tonnage and grades are reported as undiluted.
Contained Au ounces are in-situ and do not include recovery losses.

As reported in the National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden Promise Property, Central Newfoundland (revised), dated December 4, 2018 by Mr. Greg Z. Mosher, M.Sc. App., P.Geo., and Mr. Larry Pilgrim, B.Sc., P.Geo., the JMZ was modelled as a single quartz vein that strikes east-west and dips steeply to the south. Modelled vein thickness was based on true thickness derived from quartz vein intercepts. The estimate is based on 220 assays that were composited to 135 one-meter long composites. A bulk density of 2.7 g/cm³ was used. Blocks in the model measured 15 meters east-west, 1-meter north-south and 10 meters vertically. The block model was not rotated. Grades were interpolated using inverse-distance squared (ID²) weighting and a search ellipse that measured 100 meters along strike, two meters across strike and 50 meters vertically. Grades were interpolated based on a minimum of two and a maximum of 10 composites with a maximum of one composite per hole so the grade of each block is based on at least two drill holes thereby demonstrating continuity of mineralization. For the capped mineral resource estimate, all assays that exceed 65 g/t gold were capped at 65 g/t gold. All resources were classified as Inferred because of the relatively wide spacing of drill holes through most of the zone.

Because part of the vein is near surface the resource estimate was constrained by a conceptual open pit to demonstrate reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction. Generic mining costs of US$2.50/tonne and processing costs of US$25.00/tonne were used together with a gold price of US$1,300/ounce. A conceptual pit slope of 45° was assumed with no allowance for mining loss or dilution. Based on the combined hypothetical mining and processing costs and the assumed price of gold, a pit-constrained cutoff grade of 0.6 g/t was adopted. For the underground portion of the resource a cutoff of 1.5 g/t was assumed. The cutoff grade for the total resource is the weighted average of the pit-constrained and underground cutoff grades.

David Martin, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and VP Exploration for Great Atlantic, is responsible for the technical information contained in this News Release.

35 RC drill holes completed with gold discoveries confirmed at both Diplomat and Treasure

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 27, 2021) – Endurance Gold Corporation (TSXV: EDG) (the "Company") is pleased to provide initial assay results from the reverse circulation ("RC") drill program at its Reliance Gold Property (the "Property") in southern British Columbia. Gold assay results from the first five (5) of the total thirty-five (35) RC holes have identified a new high-grade gold discovery at the Diplomat Zone and have also demonstrated that the Treasure Shear is a gold mineralized structure. Both discoveries significantly open up new exploration potential on the Property. The Property is located 4 kilometres ("km") east of the village of Gold Bridge with year-round road access, and 10 km north of the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has produced over 4 million ounces of gold.

Gold Results – The following table summarizes the best gold results from the initial five (5) holes with assay results:

"These encouraging results from the first-ever documented drill testing of the Diplomat Zone and the Treasure Shear dramatically expand the exploration potential for the Reliance Property. The high-grade intersection at Diplomat is a new discovery and further demonstrates that Reliance hosts a largely unexplored "Epizonal" Orogenic gold mineralizing system over the two-kilometer long Royal Shear-Treasure Shear trend" stated Robert Boyd, CEO of Endurance Gold "In addition, we are encouraged that our initial pXRF scanning of all the other 2021 RC drill holes suggest potential for further encouraging gold intersections, once assayed."

The Diplomat Zone is situated in the footwall of the Royal Shear and the potential was initially identified in the Company's 2020 geological mapping and soil sampling program. Diplomat is located 170 m northwest of the Imperial Zone and 625 metres ("m") northwest of the Eagle Zone. Nine holes have been completed at Diplomat with results received on five (5) RC Holes. Highlight gold assay results from hole RC21-024 include 16.39 grams per tonne gold ("gpt Au") over 4.57 m commencing at 71.63 m down-hole associated with a quartz, pyrite and arsenopyrite vein stockwork zone. Other intersections at Diplomat include 2.64 gpt Au over 9.14 m (from 1.52 m), 2.56 gpt Au over 7.62 m (from 6.10 m), 2.62 gpt Au over 6.10 m (from 51.82 m) and 6.34 gpt Au over 1.52 m (from 38.10 m in RC21-024 that also hosts the high-grade gold intersection). True widths are estimated to be approximately 80% of the reported drill intersections.

The Treasure Shear is a northeast southwest trending geographic linear feature located parallel to and about 300 meters east of the Royal Shear and is interpreted as the footwall bounding structure for the Royal Shear complex, a deep-seated regional structure. The Treasure Prospect is located 465 m northwest of the Imperial Zone and 875 m northwest of the Eagle Zone where a portion of the Treasure Shear is exposed in a road-cut. Three RC holes tested this structure with gold results reported herein on the first of these three drill holes. RC21-021 intersected 1.6 gpt Au over 6.1 m commencing at 35.05 m downhole. This intersection confirms that the Treasure Shear has potential to host wide zones elevated in gold similar to the Royal Shear and provides largely untested strike potential of an estimated two km. Location of the 35 RC Holes completed in 2021 are appended below or available here.

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence ("pXRF") Arsenic Results – pXRF of the RC reference samples has identified significantly enriched arsenic ("As") in 22 of the 35 RC drill holes completed. Gold and ICP analysis has only been completed on five (5) of these twenty-two (22) holes as summarized above. The widest and strongest arsenic mineralized intervals identified with the pXRF to date are summarized in the table below:

As reported in May 10, 2021, pXRF As-enriched zones have been identified on the Treasure Prospect, the Diplomat Zone, and in step out drilling at the Eagle Zone. Not previously reported is the identification of a pXRF elevated arsenic at the Crown Zone, located between the Eagle and Imperial Zones and an additional RC hole completed recently at the Imperial Zone. Location of the gold and pXRF arsenic intersections for the Diplomat Zone and Treasure Prospect are appended below or available here. Location of the pXRF arsenic intersections for the 2021 RC Holes at the Eagle Zone are appended below or available here.

As reported on January 6, 2021, the pXRF technique does not report quantifiable gold but previous work by the Company has shown that arsenic has a strong positive correlation with gold mineralization on the Reliance Property. The drill assay results reported on March 16, 2021 from the Company's 2020 RC program, and the gold assay results reported in this release, confirmed the pXRF arsenic intervals ultimately identified gold mineralized intervals at the Eagle, Imperial, Diplomat and Treasure Zones.

Property Activity – The planned RC drill program is now complete with a total of 35 holes completed. Some of the proposed RC holes have been deferred to a diamond drilling campaign later in the season due to water inflow problems which may impact RC sample quality and the presence of intrusive dykes which will need to be better constrained with diamond drilling. A total of 758 RC samples from 29 remaining RC holes drilled have been submitted to the laboratory for gold assay and multi-element ICP analysis. Complete gold assay results will be reported when received. The 3DIP geophysical crew completed their survey and demobilized from the Property. Results from the RC drilling and 3DIP geophysics will be used to assist in defining and prioritizing diamond drill targets for later in the season. A program of soil and biogeochemistry will commence shortly.

Endurance Gold Corporation is a company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of highly prospective North American mineral properties with the potential to develop world-class deposits.

RC samples were collected under the supervision of a geologist at the drilling rig. Drilling was completed using a 3.5 inch hammer bit and rock chip samples were collected using a cyclone. Sample size were reduced to 1/8th size with a riffle splitter at the drilling rig. A second duplicate split and coarse chips were collected for reference material and stored. All RC samples have been submitted to ALS Global in North Vancouver, BC, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory, where they are crushed to 70% <2 mm then up to 250 gram pulverized to <75 microns. Samples are then submitted for four-acid digestion and analyzed for 48 element ICP-MS (ME-MS61) and gold 30g FA ICP-AES finish (AU-ICP21). Over limit samples returning greater than 10 ppm gold are re-analyzed by Au-GRA21 methodology and over limit antimony returning greater than 10,000 ppm Sb are re-analyzed by Sb-AA08 methodology. The pXRF analysis was conducted by a Company geologist at the project site within 24 hours of drilling on the complete 1/8th duplicate split reference material. An Olympus Vanta XRF Analyzer was used for the analysis which is capable of measuring elements from concentrations as low as single parts per million (ppm). The work program was supervised by Darren O'Brien, P.Geo., an independent consultant and qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mr. O'Brien has reviewed and approved this news release.

TORONTO, May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Montero Mining and Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: MON) (“Montero” or the “Company”) filed a request for arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) on 8 January 2021. Subsequently on the 9 February 2021 the Secretary-General of the ICSID registered Montero’s request for the institution of arbitration proceedings against the Government of Tanzania for the illegal expropriation and loss of its Wigu Hill rare earth element Project.

Currently, ICSID is in the process of constitution of the arbitral tribunal. Montero and Tanzania (the “Parties”) have both appointed their respective arbitrator and now have to agree on a third arbitrator, who shall be the president of the tribunal at which point ICSID will then request the parties to make a deposit of US$150,000.

Montero has initiated international arbitration proceedings through ICSID in accordance with the Bilateral Investment Treaty between Canada and the United Republic of Tanzania which protects investment rights. A multi-million compensation award is being sought by Montero for expropriation of the Wigu Hill Rare Earth Element Project by the Government of Tanzania. This is as a result of damages suffered by the Company as a result of Tanzania’s Act and Omissions.

Montero is not able to make any comment in relation to the potential quantum of any claim for compensation at this point. Montero has obtained third-party litigation funding from Omni Bridgeway, a leading global dispute funder. Montero has retained Mr Thierry Lauriol and his team at Jeantet AARPI, a highly experienced legal counsel in international arbitration with a track record of success for its clients in Africa. Most recently at ICSID representing GDF-Suez vs the Government of Togo with an award of €55 million. Montero has also retained the services of Dr Neal Rigby of SRK Denver to act as its independent technical expert for the valuation of Wigu Hill. Dr Rigby has acted in this capacity in many successful international mining litigations involving ICSID arbitrations. In Africa he was the independent technical expert in the US$136 million award to the previous shareholders of Africo Resources in the DRC.

The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But if you buy shares in a really great company, you can more than double your money. For example, the First Majestic Silver Corp. (TSE:FR) share price has soared 132% in the last three years. That sort of return is as solid as granite. And in the last month, the share price has gained -0.5%. We note that First Majestic Silver reported its financial results recently; luckily, you can catch up on the latest revenue and profit numbers in our company report.

Check out our latest analysis for First Majestic Silver

To quote Buffett, 'Ships will sail around the world but the Flat Earth Society will flourish. There will continue to be wide discrepancies between price and value in the marketplace…' One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.

During three years of share price growth, First Majestic Silver moved from a loss to profitability. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here.

The graphic below depicts how EPS has changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).

We like that insiders have been buying shares in the last twelve months. Even so, future earnings will be far more important to whether current shareholders make money. This free interactive report on First Majestic Silver's earnings, revenue and cash flow is a great place to start, if you want to investigate the stock further.

A Different Perspective

We're pleased to report that First Majestic Silver shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 66% over one year. That's including the dividend. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 9% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For instance, we've identified 2 warning signs for First Majestic Silver that you should be aware of.

There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying.
