The addition of 1,115 hectares to the portolfio is welcomed. The property is located 62 km from the world class Buenavista copper mine to the south and 42 km to the north-west of La Caridad mine (both operated by Southern Copper Corporation, a region known for world-class porphyry copper deposits, and many high quality exploration copper-moly prospects.
The other consideration is that this property is between two mineral concessions within the Llano del Nogal porphyry copper moly property, controlled by Evrim Resources Corp. 
Christian Grijalva, San Marco’s Vice President stated, “We are fortunate to have been awarded a mineral concession covering part of what we believe is a district scale, highly prospective mineral endowed region. Preparations are being made to initiate an exploration program to evaluate the potential of Suanse.”

Results from the remaining 11 holes drilled at the Yellowknife City Gold project ​have been published on the Terrax website. Four of these holes (1,170 m) were drilled on the high-grade Crestaurum gold bearing structure to determine whether gold mineralization continued to depth. All four holes hit mineralized structure, with two holes containing visible gold. All holes intersected significant gold with selected intervals of:

• 8.84 g/t Au over 2.49 m and 5.38 g/t Au over 0.63 m in hole TCR18-076
• 3.08 g/t Au over 2.80m, and 5.57 g/t Au over 2.06 m, in hole TCR18-078
• 13.30 g/t Au over 1.24 m, and 4.41 g/t Au over 0.80 m, in hole TCR18-079
• 3.86 g/t Au over 0.56 m in hole TCR18-07

The flow through funds will be used in the 2018 drill program in the NW of BC near the town of Stewart. This region in Canada has garnered a great deal of attention from exploration companies and major producers alike. This investment coupled with many other serious players in this region is creating a buzz that a major discovery is possible.
Chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk noted that: "This year's exploration program at KSM will follow up on the tremendous success we achieved last year at KSM's Iron Cap deposit where inferred gold resources increased by 302% to 20.0 million ounces and inferred copper resources increased by 379% to 8.6 billion pounds. As in previous years, we are confident that this year's program should add sufficient resource ounces of gold to more than offset the share issuances from this financing. Increasing gold ownership per share remains an important objective for Seabridge."
