Argentex Mining Corporation: Ivonne Vein Returns 3.30 Meters of 4.69 g/t Gold at Pinguino, Including 1.80 Meters of 8.30 g/t Gold



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 23, 2011) - Argentex Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ATX)(OTCBB:AGXMF) ("Argentex" or the "Company") is pleased to release additional drill results from its recently completed 2011 exploration program at the Pinguino project, located in the Santa Cruz province of Argentina. The program consisted of 19,704 meters of drilling in 206 holes. To date, the Company has received results for 8,924 meters of drilling from 100 of the 206 holes, with approximately 51% of holes remaining to be processed in the lab.

Results below are from the most recent 5 holes from the Ivonne Norte vein and 1 hole from Ivonne Sur vein (a map of drill hole collars is available on the Company's web site at www.argentexmining.com):




*True widths are estimated to be 85-90% of the stated interval; ** Silver Eq is Silver Equivalent of gold and silver and based upon a price ratio of 43:1 gold to silver; "P" represents core holes, "PR" represents RC holes.

"Assay results from the drilling of the Ivonne vein continue to report multi-gram gold values. Ivonne Norte, which is a segment of the 2,300 meter Ivonne vein system, has returned encouraging silver and gold grades in the near-surface oxidized zones as well as at depths of approximately 200 meters below surface within the unoxidized primary mineralization," commented Ken Hicks, President of Argentex. "The exploration focus of the 2011 program was the discovery of new precious metal occurrences within the Pinguino vein system and we are pleased with the success reported to date."

About Pinguino

Argentex's 10,000-hectare Pinguino property is located in Argentina's Patagonia region, within the Deseado Massif of Santa Cruz province. The Deseado Massif is an active region of mining with four precious metal mines currently in production, and includes multiple active advanced and early stage exploration projects.

Pinguino is easily accessible, situated approximately 400 meters above sea level in low-relief topography. An existing system of all-weather roads provides year-round access to the property. Argentex believes that recent high-grade precious metal discoveries within newly tested structures of the district scale vein system at Pinguino show potential for the development of a significant silver-gold resource.

Quality Assurance

Samples selected for analysis are sent to Acme Analytical Laboratories' sample preparation lab in Mendoza, Argentina. From there, sample pulps are sent to Santiago, Chile for fire assay gold analysis and to Vancouver, Canada for Group 1DX multi-element MS-ICP analysis. Samples with over-limit zinc, lead, silver and/or copper are reanalyzed using an ore-grade high detection limit 7AR analysis, also conducted in Vancouver.

Mariana Commences Fourth Drilling Programme at Las Calandrias Gold-Silver Project, Argentina


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 23, 2011) - Mariana Resources Ltd. (TSX:MRY)(AIM:MARL) ('Mariana' or 'the Company'), the AIM and TSX quoted exploration and development company focused in Argentina and Chile, announces that the fourth drilling programme at its 100% owned Las Calandrias Gold-Silver Project ('Las Calandrias'), in the prospective Santa Cruz gold district in southern Argentina (Figure 1) has commenced.

Overview

* Fourth drilling programme will comprise at least 10,000m with minimum of 5,000m in the first stage of a two stage programme.
* Testing seven new targets (Figure 2) at Las Calandrias, all outside the outlines of the Calandria Sur and La Calandria initial resources announced on 11 July 2011.
* Loma Verde and La Picasa targets cover a 200 to 300m x 500m area of prospective volcaniclastics adjacent to the Calandria Sur rhyolite dome. The areas coincide with a very strong gold lag anomaly 30-750 ppm Au.
o Volcaniclastic-hosted mineralisation consists of multiple sub-metre zones of quartz veins/veinlets, breccias and stockworks related to broad zones of silicification.
o Rock chip sampling in volcaniclastic-hosted mineralisation averaged 0.55 g/t Au (151 samples) with up to 0.5m @ 11 g/t Au.
o Best trench assays are 20m @ 1.0g/t Au (Loma Verde) and 20.8m @ 1.5g/t Au including 8.4m averaging 2.9g/t Au (La Picasa).
o A previous drill hole in this area intersected encouraging volcaniclastic-hosted gold mineralisation – CSD261 35.5m @ 1.8 g/t Au and 6 g/t Au, including a breccia with 1.2m @ 20.4 g/t Au and 81 g/t Ag.
o Twenty-six holes for 3,100m are planned over these two target areas in stage one.
* Vieja Herradura target covers a 200 x 250m area northwest of Calandria Sur with potential for extensions to the main breccia-hosted deposit and also high-grade mineralisation proximal to the andestite dyke swarms (CSD253 0.5m @ 141 g/t Au 237 g/t Ag) which may be a feeder zone for Calandria Sur.
* Other targets include extensions of the La Morena and La Calandria vein-breccias at Calandria Norte, the new El Clavo Vein Trend to the south-southwest of Calandria Norte, the Nido Este dome margin, and follow up drilling at the Nido Norte target.

Commenting today, Chairman John Horsburgh said, "The scale of our flagship Las Calandrias project continues to expand and a major breakthrough is the prospectivity of the volcaniclastics adjacent to the Calandria Sur dome-hosted gold-silver mineralisation. This is supported by encouraging results from lag sampling, mapping/rock chip sampling, trenching and limited previous drilling. Also, preliminary LeachWell tests indicate volcaniclastic-hosted sulphide mineralisation intersected to date is readily amenable to cyanide leaching. The recent work has opened up a very large target area close to Calandria Sur and, together with the new potentially high-grade targets, adds up to an exciting fourth drilling programme, the objective of which is to expand the recently established initial resource base."

Drilling Programme

A minimum 10,000m programme of diamond drilling is planned with the first stage of 5,000m underway. The rig will then be deployed at the Company's Sierra Blanca silver-gold project also in Santa Cruz Province in October 2011 before returning for the second stage of follow up and exploratory drilling of targets at Las Calandrias, referred to below, at the end of October/November 2011. Assay results from the first stage of drilling will have been received by this time and will enable targets to be prioritised for stage two of the drilling programme.

Loma Verde/La Picasa target areas

Lag sampling, mapping, trenching and the limited previous drilling indicate potential for volcaniclastics adjacent to the northeast and east flank of the Calandria Sur rhyolite dome to host significant gold-silver mineralisation. This extensive target area is a northwest trending zone 200 to 300m wide by 500m long, subdivided into Loma Verde in the southeast and La Picasa to the northwest (Figure 3).

Mineralisation consists of multiple sub-metre zones of quartz veins/veinlets, breccias and stockworks related to broad zones of silicification trending west-northwest and east-northeast with individual silicified zones up to 25m x 350m. Rock chip sampling returned 1m @ 3.9 g/t Au (Loma Verde) and 0.5 m @ 11 g/t Au (La Picasa).

The rock chip sampling was carried out within a 1,000 x 500m area of mostly volcaniclastic terrain coinciding with the +30 ppb Au contour of an extensive lag anomaly (Figure 4). Anomalous gold in rock chips corresponds with a series of sub-metre veins, quartz stockworks and breccias. The average of 151 rock chip samples taken was 0.55 g/t Au and a maximum of 11 g/t Au with 11% of samples above 1 g/t Au. Sample locations and assay ranges are shown in Figure 3.

Best trench assays are 20m @ 1.0g/t Au (Loma Verde) and 20.8m @ 1.5g/t Au including 8.4m averaging 2.9g/t Au (La Picasa).

Two out of the three holes previously drilled in this area intersected moderate to high grade gold mineralisation in the volcaniclastics adjacent to the rhyolite dome. Hole CSD261 from the last drilling campaign (received too late for inclusion in the initial resource), drilled 50m away from the dome margin intersected multiple sulfide rich veinlets hosted by volcaniclastics assaying 35.5m @ 1.8 g/t Au and 6 g/t Ag, with a high-grade breccia of 1.2 m @ 20.4 g/t Au and 81 g/t Ag.

Twenty-six holes for 3,100m are planned for these two target areas in the first stage (Figures 2 & 3).

Calandria Sur - La Vieja Herradura target area

The last drill results from the third campaign confirm the mineralisation is open to the north and northwest of the Calandria Sur dome, outside the initial resource area. Recent mapping and rock chip sampling have defined a new 200 x 250m target area along this covered northern margin of the Calandria Sur dome, previously considered low priority (Figure 3).

Intersections of high-grade gold mineralisation in the last campaign are associated with a northwest trending post-mineralisation andesite dyke swarm that may have intruded along pre-existing mineralising "feeders". These dykes continue southeast along the margin of the Calandria Sur dome and might be a vector for high-grade mineralisation. Holes CSD253 (0.5m @ 140.8 g/t Au and 237 g/t Ag) and CSD255 (0.5m @ 16.9 g/t Au and 183 g/t Ag) are examples of high grades proximal to the dykes (Figure 3).

Approximately 1,080m of drilling in seven holes in the first stage is planned to extend mineralisation to the north-west of Calandria Sur and to test for high-grade mineralisation (Figure 2 & 3).

Calandria Norte dome - La Morena Vein-breccia

Scout hole CND250 previously intersected 0.6m @ 68.1 g /t Au and 107g /t Ag in a vein-breccia from 59m within a broad stockwork intercept of 19.5m @ 3.3g /t Au and 8g /t Ag from 45m. The vein-breccia system has no surface expression and was discovered by drilling the southwest end of an Induced Polarisation ('IP') chargeability anomaly. Limited drilling indicates that La Morena vein-breccia mineralisation strikes north-northeast for 350m, dips steeply south-southeast and is open in all directions. Further drilling at La Morena will target extensions and also the possible intersection with the La Calandria Vein Zone at depth. A total of 2,100m of drilling has been planned to test La Morena and other Calandria Norte targets with four holes for 500m at La Morena in the first stage.

El Clavo Vein Trend

Mapping, trenching, and rock and lag sampling southwest of the Calandria Norte dome has discovered the El Clavo vein trend, a possible southwest extension of the La Calandria Vein-breccia at the Calandria Norte target area into the surrounding volcaniclastics. Zones of vein-style silicification occur along a 550m strike, with rock chips from initial sampling assaying between 0.2 and 1.4g/t Au. A total of 700m of drilling is planned with two 100m holes in the first stage (Figure 2).

Nido Este

Nido Este is a northeast trending rhyolite dome 1.1km north-west of Calandria Sur. Two earlier holes (NED 47 and 48) testing a 3D chargeability IP anomaly intersected wide zones of disseminated and veinlet pyrite-marcasite mineralisation, but with no significant gold and silver values. However, recent lag and float rock-chip sampling (up to 16.4g/t Au) has located a new target 300m east of the drill-tested area, possibly related to north-east trending veins. Six holes totalling 1,000m are planned for the second stage (Figure 2).

Nido Norte

The Nido Norte target is located 2km north-west of Calandria Sur. The mineralisation associated with rhyolitic domes shows low-sulfidation epithermal features (chalcedonic quartz) along the 1.5km NE-SW trending La Despreciada vein-breccia structure. Mineralisation has both structural and lithological controls with drill intersections such as 26.3m @1g/t Au and 8g/t Ag including 1.6m averaging 5.2g/t Au and 71g/t Ag on the structure, as well as 0.75m averaging 8g/t Au and 54g/t Ag on lithologic contacts close to the main structure. Six holes totalling 1,000m will follow up these intersections in the second stage.

Las Calandrias Project Background

Las Calandrias comprises multiple zones of gold mineralisation hosted by rhyolite domes over a 10.5 sq km area. In 2009, the first drilling programme (September-October) consisted of 16 scout holes (1,566m) testing the Calandria Norte vein-breccia and Calandria Sur dome breccia targets where significant gold mineralisation was discovered. The second drilling programme (March-April 2010) consisted of 4,400m in 37 holes and tested Calandria Sur (28 holes/3,212m); Calandria Norte (2 holes/299m), El Nido Este (2 holes/309m) and El Nido Norte (5 holes/580m). Phase three drilling (September-December 2010) consisted of 14,003m in 110 holes; Calandria Sur (56 holes/6,186m); Calandria Norte (43 holes/6,175m); Nido Norte (7 holes/1,054m); Nido Oeste (2 holes/421m); La Herradura (2 holes/168m). The continuity of phase three (January-April 2011) consisted of 15,736 m in 90 holes; Calandria Sur (6 holes/2,747m); Calandria Norte (21 holes/3,430); Despreciada: Nido Norte and Nido Centro (37 holes/6,414m); Nido Oeste (7 holes/1,130m); Nido Sur (18 holes/1,883 m); Gamekeeper (1 hole/132 m).

Extorre Announces Results for 20 Holes Drilled at the Puntudo Project Silver-Gold Discovery in Argentina


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 23, 2011) - Extorre Gold Mines Limited (TSX:XG)(NYSE Amex:XG)(FRANKFURT:E1R) ("Extorre" or the "Company") announces results for 20 additional holes from the Renaldo Area on Extorre's 100% owned Puntudo Project in Santa Cruz Province.

Drilling indicates the presence of a mineralized body approximately 750 metres ("m") in length which is open to the southeast. The zone is located 1 kilometre southeast of the silver-gold resource reported on the La Negra structure by Coeur d'Alene and Mirasol Resources on the Joaquin property.

Highlights from the La Negra structure drilling include:

RD0020A - 3.8 m (12.5 feet ("ft")) at 2,154 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver + 3.34 g/t gold (2,321 g/t silver equivalent*), including 0.95 m (3.1 ft) at 8,516 g/t silver + 9.40 g/t gold (8,986 g/t silver equivalent*) and

RD0026 - 5.0 m (16.4 ft) at 236 g/t silver + 0.39 g/t gold (256 g/t silver equivalent*), including 3.86 m (12.7 ft) at 300 g/t silver + 0.42 g/t gold (321 g/t silver equivalent*).

On the La Marocha structure to the west drilling intersected:

RD0032 - 8.0 m (26.2 ft) at 227 g/t silver + 0.48 g/t gold (251 g/t silver equivalent*), including 1 m (3.3 ft) at 856 g/t silver + 2.80 g/t gold (996 g/t silver equivalent*).

Step back drilling on the La Negra mineralized body is scheduled. To the far southeast on that structure drilling intersected broad zones with elevated silver-gold values but with a higher gold to silver ratio that suggests the influence of a separate zone further to the southeast.

Hole RD0032 intersected one of the best intervals to date from the La Marocha structure, yet a fence of holes drilled 160 meters to the southeast failed to intersect significant mineralization. Further work is required to investigate alternatives for extensions to that mineralization.

Glen van Kerkvoort, Extorre's Chief Geologist commented "We are very pleased with the results from this being our first drill campaign on the Renaldo Area. Our aim for the forthcoming drilling season in October is to define the limits of mineralization identified to date and to test additional targets defined by prospecting. It will be important for us to establish the ultimate potential of the property, not just the immediate potential of the Renaldo Area discovery.

"Extorre began to assemble its Santa Cruz Province land package in 2003 and has promising discoveries on our Puntudo and Falcon projects. The primary focus of the Company continues to be at Cerro Moro but given the technical depth of our exploration team we will continue to explore our regional projects for the next high grade gold-silver discovery."

Quality Control and Assurance

Drill widths presented in the table above are drill intersection widths and may not represent the true widths of mineralization.

Assay results presented above are preliminary with no cutting of high grades. All diamond drill core samples are split on regular metre intervals or on geological contacts and represent sawn half HQ-size core. Samples were prepared at the Acme Analytical Laboratories ("Acme Labs") preparation facility on-site at Cerro Moro (managed and staffed by Acme Labs), and assayed by fire assay (50 gram charge) at the Acme Labs laboratory in Chile, an ISO-9001:2000 certified laboratory.

Check assaying of all samples assaying greater than 1.0 g/t gold is completed by Acme Labs. Samples returning greater than 10 g/t gold and/or greater than 100 g/t silver are assayed using gravimetric analyses. Standard and blank samples are used throughout the sample sequence as checks for the diamond drilling reported in this release.

Glen van Kerkvoort, Extorre's Chief Geologist and a "qualified person" within the definition of that term in National Instrument ("NI") 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has supervised the preparation of the technical information contained in this news release.

About Extorre

The Company anticipates the release of the next 24 drill holes for the Zoe discovery within two weeks.

Extorre is a Canadian public company listed on the Toronto and NYSE Amex Exchanges (symbol XG). Extorre's assets comprise $42 million in cash, the Cerro Morro, Puntudo and Don Sixto projects, and other mineral exploration properties in Argentina.

On August 4, 2011 Extorre announced the results of the second Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA-2") for a potential future mine development at Cerro Moro. "PEA-2" was based on an interim (April, 2011) NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate for Cerro Moro, and contemplated a 1,000 tonne per day mining and ore processing operation and the production of 494,700 ounces of gold and 26.6 million ounces of silver over a mine life of 8.25 years. The NPVo for the project is $581 million and the pre-tax IRR is 89.3% for a mine producing an average of 206,300 ounces gold equivalent per year for the first 3 years at a cash cost of $US236/ounce gold equivalent. Exploration with 6 rigs is continuing with an objective of expanding resources considerably.

The NI 43-101 compliant resources are reported as follows:

Indicated Category: 443,000 oz. gold + 24.2 million oz. silver (927,000 oz. gold equivalent**), plus

Inferred Category: 178,000 oz. gold + 10.90 million oz. silver (396,000 oz. gold equivalent**)

Click here for a link to the National Instrument 43-101 compliant report: http://www.extorre.com/pdf/reports/Extorre_Cerro_Moro_PEA_2011.pdf.

The Company expects to release an updated resource statement in Q4-2011 that includes the new Zoe discovery and other deposits at Cerro Moro. That resource statement will lead to a revised economic assessment and a revision to the existing Environmental Impact Assessment.

The Province of Santa Cruz formally approved the initial Cerro Moro Environmental Impact Assessment on May 17, 2011. That approval related to the development of a 750 tonne per day mining and ore processing operation at Cerro Moro as presented to the Province in September 2010.

You are invited to visit the Extorre web site at www.extorre.com.

** Gold equivalent ounces are calculated by dividing silver ounces by 50 and adding this figure to gold ounces.

Wealth Drills High-Grade Rare Earth Element Mineralization at Rodeo de los Molles Project, Argentina


R11-N-01: 0.73% TREO over 27.45 metres including 1.36% TREO over 13.70 metres

R11-N-02: 0.83% TREO over 44.50 metres including 1.31% TREO over 25.00 metres

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 22, 2011) - Wealth Minerals Ltd. (the "Company" or "Wealth") - (TSX VENTURE:WML)(OTCQX:WWMLF)(FRANKFURT:EJZ), announces the results from the first two of twenty six diamond drillholes completed at its Rodeo de los Molles ("Rodeo") Rare Earth Element ("REE") Project in San Luis Province, Argentina.

Drillholes R11-N-01 and -02 testing TREO surface mineralization intersected 0.73% TREO over 27.45 metres including 1.36% TREO over 13.70 metres and 0.83% TREO over 44.50 metres including 1.31% TREO over 25.0 metres, respectively. The drillholes are located at the northern end of the 450 metre by 250 metre Mina Norte zone (To view Figure 1, please visit the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/wml822f1.pdf).

"I am very encouraged with the results of these initial 2 diamond drill holes. They clearly show that the strong TREO mineralization on surface has a significant third dimension that remains open at depth. I am also particularly happy with the tenor and consistent concentration of highly sought after neodymium throughout the core," commented Henk Van Alphen, CEO of Wealth.
Table 1: Significant Drill Results*




* Reported drill intercepts are not true widths. At this time, there is insufficient data with respect to the shape of the mineralization to calculate its true orientation in space.

The Phase I drilling consisted of 26 drill holes (970.5 metres) targeting outcropping, high-grade REE mineralization confirmed by channel saw sampling results (To view Figure 2, please visit the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/wml822f2.pdf) (see News April 11, 2011 and July 7, 2011).

The program was designed to test the distribution and continuity of the mineralization at the two main zones of mineralization, such that a larger, more-aggressive, multi-rig drill program can be initiated to systematically test the 1.5 kilometre by 700 metre core of the property (Figure 2).

Rodeo de los Molles Rare Earth Deposit Overview

The Rodeo REE deposit is the largest undeveloped REE project in Argentina with an historical resource of 5.6Mt at 2.1% total rare element oxide. The historical geologic resource estimate for Rodeo was prepared in 1992 (including metallurgical testwork)and is based on approximately 6,000 metres of RAB drilling. This historical resource estimate is considered relevant by the Company given the global concerns regarding secure future supplies of REEs and for the purposes of the Company's decision to acquire the property and to guide the Company in formulating an exploration program for the property. However, the Company cautions that the resource estimate was prepared before the introduction of NI 43-101, and is therefore historical in nature and the Company is not treating such resource as a current resource under NI 43-101. Investors are further cautioned that a qualified person has not yet completed sufficient work to be able to verify the historical resource, and therefore it should not be relied upon.

Historical exploration at the Rodeo deposit has only tested REE mineralization exposed on surface and to very shallow depths, typically less than 35 vertical metres. The mineralization discovered to date remains open for expansion in all directions.

The Rodeo property is located in central Argentina, ~200 kilometres from San Luis City and 300 kilometres from Cordoba city. The property can be worked all year round and infrastructure is excellent – a paved road is within 2 kilometres of the deposit and power and water are within 4 kilometres.

Rodeo de los Molles Exploration Highlights:

* Two main zones, La Juli and Mina Norte, of outcropping high-grade REE mineralization confirmed by channel sampling and a newly identified third zone, El Rulo emerging:
o La Juli Zone: 8.5 metres at 1.54% TREO
o Mina Norte Zone: 3.3 metres at 1.90% TREO
o El Rulo Zone: 8.7 metres at 1.34% TREO
* Rare Earth Mineralization is on surface and open in all directions
* Average of 136 representative samples of stockpiled material average 1.70% TREO
* Attractive REE distribution with neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr) combining for ~24% of the total REE content

Looking Ahead

Results from the remaining 24 holes from the Phase I drill program are anticipated in the next six weeks and will be released as they are received. Resource definition Phase II diamond drilling is currently being designed and is expected to consist of a minimum 10,000 metres of drilling with the aim to expand the areas of known mineralization and to define a NI 43-101 compliant resource.

Wealth's field crews remain busy with compilation of data from recently completed stream sediment sampling, surface geophysics (magnetic and radiometrics) and structural and alteration interpretation from satellite imagery. These data will provide a solid framework for identification and prioritization of other REE targets across the Company's dominant 6,000 hectare land position.

In addition, expert REE geologist and Wealth Advisory Board member Dr. Tony Mariano is nearing completion of his initial process tests investigating optimization of physical REE recovery from the predominantly coarse-grained bastnasite REE mineralization at Rodeo.

Minera IRL Commences Drilling on the Michelle Exploration Project, Patagonia



LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM and TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 22, 2011) - Minera IRL Limited ("Minera IRL" or the "Company") (TSX:IRL)(AIM:MIRL)(BVLAC:MIRL) the Latin American gold mining company, has commenced a 4,000 meter exploration diamond drilling program at the Michelle Project in Patagonia, Argentina.

Highlights:

* The Michelle vein field is the northern extension of the world class Cerro Vanguardia vein field
* Thus far, 22 km of vein strike has been identified
* Of 51 surface samples taken from two primary vein targets, 33 returned values over 1g/t gold with the highest 15.7g/t gold
* A 4,000 meter diamond drilling program has commenced

"This is a very prospective drill target into outcropping epithermal veins located only a few kilometres along strike from the world class Cerro Vanguardia vein field." said Courtney Chamberlain, Executive Chairman of Minera IRL. "Our Patagonia exploration team has done an excellent job of assessing and prioritizing our initial drill targets. We are particularly encouraged following receipt of significantly elevated gold and silver values from surface sampling across the prospective structures."

Assay results have been received from Minera IRL's first surface-sampling program of the Michelle and Jackpot veins both of which outcrop over more than one kilometer of strike. Of the 51 surface rock samples taken from these two veins, 33 returned values above 1 g/t gold. Of these, 16 samples assayed above 5 g/t gold with the highest recorded gold value at 15.7 g/t. Eleven samples assayed above 30 g/t silver including one sample of 1,460 g/t silver.

Minera IRL's exploration team has thus far identified approximately 22 kilometers of cumulative vein strike length on its 143 square kilometer Michelle Project. Many veins can be traced at surface from AngloGold Ashanti Ltd's majority owned multi-million ounce Cerro Vanguardia gold-silver mine into Minera IRL's property which shares a common lease boundary. The closest Cerro Vanguardia open pit operation is only 6.5 kilometers from the Michelle vein field. Numerous vein occurrences on the Minera IRL ground are gold and silver bearing with classic low sulphidation epithermal textures that indicate significant depth potential.

Since early 2011, Minera IRL has conducted a multifaceted exploration program at Michelle consisting of airborne and ground geophysical methods as well as detailed geological mapping and geochemical sampling all with the objective to assist in vectoring the exploration team to the most prospective parts of the project.

Michelle is one of three active greenfields exploration projects the Company is currently advancing within its 2,700 square kilometer land package, one of the largest tenement holdings in the Deseado Massif. This geological setting, located in mining friendly Santa Cruz Province, Argentina, is rapidly emerging as a world class precious metals region which already hosts a number of new mines and discoveries. Other exploration activities being carried out in the district by Minera IRL Patagonia include the Escondido Project, discovered in 2010, and the Chispas Project where scout drilling was carried out on the Pan de Azucar vein in 2010. In addition, the Don Nicolas Feasibility Study, in which an updated resource has recently been announced, is due to be completed by year end.

Additional information on Michelle, including maps and surface sample assay logs, can be found on the Minera IRL website, www.minera-irl.com.

Kestrel Provides Further Exploration Update



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 18, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.

Kestrel Gold Inc. ("Kestrel" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:KGC) is pleased to provide an update related to exploration activities on its one hundred (100%) percent owned Huachi Property, in San Juan Province, north western Argentina and on its gold exploration properties in the Yukon, Canada, that Kestrel holds an option to acquire a 100% interest.

At Huachi, the first two drill holes (with HQ core) have been completed at the North Ridge Road Cut Zone and the NE Agua Amarga Headwaters Zone, respectively. The North Ridge Road Cut Zone is a gold-mineralized area (that has returned surface rock sample values of up to 12.93 g/t Au – see May 13, 2011 news release) on the northeast side of the East Peak Stock. At the North Ridge Road Cut Zone, gold mineralization occurs in several limonitic shear zones (with variable attitudes) that intersect highly argillically altered diorite host rock. Diamond drilling in this zone is intended to cut north-south and north-east trending near-vertical precious-metal bearing structures. The Agua Amarga Zone also has epithermal textures, alteration and gold mineralization hosted in breccias similar in nature to the North Ridge Road Cut Zone.

On the King Solomon Dome group of properties in the Yukon, field crews have completed soil and silt geochemical surveys on grids on the KSD, Dominion, Gold Run and Gulf properties that include close-spaced soil geochemical survey grids surrounding existing gold soil geochemical anomalies proximal to localities where previously collected grab and rock chip samples have returned values of up to 51.2 g/t Au - (See Feb. 3, 2011 news release).

At the KSD property, Kestrel geologists have also completed the first phase of a 1000 linear metre trenching, rock sampling and mapping program that was designed using existing geochemical, geological and geophysical data centred on and also along strike and adjacent to known gold-silver mineralization occurrences, including the Sheba and Mitchell veins.

Results from all the above-mentioned ongoing exploration programs will be released as they are received by the Corporation once compiled and interpreted and subjected to the necessary QA/QC procedures.

Cautionary Statements

This news release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws relating to certain explorations activities, including the contemplated future reporting of exploration results.

Wealth Minerals Ltd.: Drilling Expands Mineralized Channel System at Bororo Nuevo Project in San Jorge Basin, Argentina


Drill hole B11-A-10 returns 11.8 metres @ 1.03 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.044% uranium) including 3.0 metres @ 3.59 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.152% uranium)

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 18, 2011) - Wealth Minerals Ltd. (the "Company" or "Wealth") (TSX VENTURE:WML)(OTCQX:WMLLF)(PINK SHEETS:WMLLF)(FRANKFURT:EJZ), is pleased to announce final diamond drill results from its 100%-owned Bororo Nuevo Uranium Project ("BN") located in Chubut Province, Argentina.

Alpha Zone Drilling

An additional four drillholes targeting the recently discovered paleo-channel at Alpha Zone have each intersected significant uranium mineralization (Table 1), including drillhole B11-A-10, which returned 11.8 metres @ 1.03 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.044% uranium) including 3.0 metres @ 3.59 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.152% uranium). Stepout drillholes B11-A-11 to -13 successfully traced mineralization to both the west and south and mineralization remains open in both of these directions.

To date, eleven out of the thirteen holes drilled at Alpha zone have successfully intersected significant uranium mineralization and have defined a minimum ~400 metre wide, north-south trending paleo-channel system that dips shallowly (approximately 5°) to the south (Figure 1: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/wml-0818-fig-1.pdf).

Uranium mineralization consists of autunite, carnotite and rare uraninite hosted in pebble conglomerates, sandstones and siltstones of the productive Los Adobes Formation – host to the past-producing Cerro Condor and Los Adobes deposits as well as the Cerro Solo uranium deposit.

Table 1: Alpha Zone Drill Intersections*



One of four drillholes (426.65 metres) targeting high-level (>95th percentile) radon soil-gas anomalies in an area covered by pediment at 'Area 78' intersected anomalous levels of uranium mineralization up to 0.28 lbs/ton U3O8 (0.014% uranium) over 0.70 metres at a depth of 121.30 from surface indicating potential for additional buried channels on the property. Fourteen drillholes (711.45 metres) targeting outcropping high-grade uranium mineralization at Delta, Gamma and Beta zones did not intersect any significant uranium mineralization (Figure 2: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/wml-0818-fig-2.pdf).

Bororo Nuevo Property Overview

The Bororo Nuevo property is the flagship of the Company's five uranium properties in the productive San Jorge Basin, which is host to the past-producing Cerro Condor and Los Adobes deposits as well as the Cerro Solo uranium deposit. The San Jorge Basin lies within the Patagonian Provinces of Santa Cruz and Chubut and is readily accessible via an all-season paved road and a network of well-maintained gravel roads. The Company currently owns, or has the exclusive right to acquire, 76 'minas' and 'cateos' (concessions) that total approximately 600,000 hectares (6,000 square kilometres) representing the largest land position in the San Jorge Basin.

The BN property consists of 4 minas and 6 cateos that total approximately 35,500 hectares (355 square kilometres). To date, nine large zones of mineralization have been discovered within a uranium fairway measuring 12 by 4 kilometres and less than 12% of the property has been mapped and prospected. The stratigraphy is known to be productive and the continued success of surficial exploration programs at BN clearly highlights the uranium-rich and underexplored nature of the San Jorge Basin.

Future Work

The Company is actively seeking joint venture partners to advance the Bororo Nuevo project while its efforts and resources are concentrated on the high-grade, advanced stage Rodeo de los Molles rare earth element project.

Netco Silver: Letter from the Board

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Aug. 17, 2011) - Netco Silver Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NEI) -

Dear Shareholders,

With the beginning of a new era for Netco, the board is pleased to issue the following communication to shareholders. At the most recent AGM, the Company officially approved the change of its name from Netco Energy Inc. to Netco Silver Inc., which properly reflects the company's strategic focus as a play on high-grade silver assets. The name change occurred on July 11, 2011. Going forward, Netco's initial prospect is its newly-acquired interest in the Toruel Project, located in the Rio Negro Province of Argentina, an area which has shown significant potential for high-grade silver.

The Toruel Project consists of numerous epithermal veins that have variable amounts of significant silver, copper, gold, indium, lead and zinc. Based on the opinions of the geologists who have identified the property for us, we believe the Toruel Project will be a significant silver prospect for Netco going forward.

To date, the property has had a total of 4,300 meters of diamond drilling and 1,590 meters of reverse circulation in three rounds of drilling performed by our partner, Marifil Mines. From this drilling, a significant amount of mineralization has been defined, but not quantified. Drill results are described in our National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report entitled "Toruel Project, Rio Negro Province - Argentina", dated June 15, 2011, authored by Mr. James Ebisch, and filed on SEDAR on June 22, 2011. The report describes how surface samples from the property have resulted in 0.0 to 5,871 g/t silver, and drilling has intercepted strong mineralization ranging from 0.0 to 3,759 g/t silver over 0.5 m within a 5.0 meter zone that averaged 960 g/t silver along with another 5.4 meter interval that averaged 981 g/t silver and 6.31% copper.

As promising as these numbers look so far, we consider the Toruel Property to be underexplored, with the true potential for the project yet to be seen.

Management has just returned from a trip to Argentina, which included a site visit on the Toruel Project with the consulting geologist that oversaw the exploration work previously performed. Over the next three months, Netco will embark upon its first phase of exploration on the Toruel Project, which will include detailed mapping and sampling of the property, as well as geophysical work and trenching. The goal is to gain a better understanding of the true scope of the previously discovered Toruel vein system, as well as to investigate the entire property for additional veins and potential that may exist outside of the Toruel vein structure.

Andrew Gourlay (P.Geol.) President: "Sound geology begins with the systematic mapping and sampling of the property to truly understand its potential. We already know have a high-grade vein structure in the Toruel system, but this work will help us to determine if there are additional targets that we have yet to uncover on this property."

Along with tapping the potential of the property itself, Netco is working to assemble a strategic Argentina geological advisory team. Through our due diligence process we have built relationships with a network of geologists with considerable South American expertise, and, as we add new members to our team and execute on our strategy, we believe that Netco and the Toruel Project will deliver significant shareholder value.

We are pleased to officially become a part of the silver community, and thank you for following us on our journey to get here.

Sincerely,

Colin Bowkett, Director

Netco Silver Inc.

Minera IRL Announces Significant Resource Upgrade, Don Nicolas Project, Patagonia, Argentina


LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Aug. 17, 2011) - Minera IRL Limited ("Minera IRL" or the "Company"), (TSX:IRL)(AIM:MIRL)(BVLAC:MIRL) the Latin American focused gold mining company, is pleased to announce a significant resource upgrade at the Don Nicolas Project, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.

Highlights:

* Measured and Indicated Resource in the combined High and Low Grade category is 381,000 ounces gold representing an 89% increase in these categories compared to the Hidefield Gold Plc (Hidefield) resource published in 2009

* An additional 149,000 ounces is contained in the Inferred Resource category (0.3g/t gold lower cut-off grade)

* Measured and Indicated Resource in the High Grade category (above 1.6g/t gold lower cut-off grade) is 1,461,000 tonnes grading 6.0g/t gold and 13.4g/t silver for 280,000 ounces gold and 630,000 ounces silver. High Grade represents 74% of the total Measured and Indicated Resource. This is the basis for the Don Nicolas Feasibility Study due for completion later in 2011

* Measured and Indicated Resource in the Low Grade category (material with grades between 0.3g/t and 1.6g/t gold) is an additional 4,178,000 tonnes grading 0.8g/t gold and 3.9g/t silver for 102,000 ounces gold and 516,000 ounces silver. This will form the basis for potential future low grade treatment methods

"We are extremely pleased with the results of our first resource estimate on the Don Nicolas Project since we acquired Hidefield in late 2009," said Courtney Chamberlain, Executive Chairman of Minera IRL. "This is the culmination of a major program of infill and extension drilling of almost 23,000 meters over the past year and a half. The plus 1.6g/t gold high grade resource is of particular importance and now contains 280,000 ounces at a grade of 6g/t gold. This forms the resource base for the Don Nicolas Feasibility Study which we expect to complete before the end of the year."

"The epithermal veins that make up the resource have only been drilled to a fairly shallow depth and most of the mineralization can be mined by open pit methods. Most of the precious metal veins remain open and untested down-dip and thus offer excellent future upside potential. We have also identified a number of new outcropping veins very close to the defined resources that will form the basis for ongoing Brownfields exploration."

This resource estimate supersedes the resource inventory inherited with the Hidefield transaction in late 2009. That estimate was based upon a 1g/t gold lower cut-off grade so the new Minera IRL estimate is not directly comparable. However, a relatively small portion of the 89% increase in gold in the overall Measured and Indicated category is related to reducing the gold lower cut-off grade to 0.3g/t.

There are two vein field districts that make up the Don Nicolas Project, La Paloma and Martinetas. The reported resource is made up of nine vein systems (refer to the table below). At La Paloma, resources have been defined at the Sulfuro, Arco Iris, Ramal Sulfuro and Rocio Veins. Martinetas consists of five vein swarms contained in the Coyote, Cerro Oro, Armadillo, Lucia and Calafate deposits. The resource estimation methodology that was applied to each system was appropriate for the particular mineralized deposit. For Sulfuro, Arco Iris, Ramal Sulfuro, Rocio, Armadillo and Calafate the Ordinary Kriging (OK) technique was used and, using this method, no mine dilution was included in the resource estimate for these deposits. For Coyote, Cerro Oro and Lucia, the Multiple Indicator Kriging (MIK) method was considered more appropriate and this method includes dilution for an assumed mining scenario and Selective Mining Unit (SMU).





The high grade mineralization will form the basis for the Don Nicolas Feasibility Study, currently in progress. However, the low grade resource, now estimated at 4.2 million tonnes grading 0.8g/t gold containing 102,000 ounces, is also an important resource which will be subject to future metallurgical testwork to develop a low grade treatment process such as heap leaching.

Minera IRL is also pleased to announce that a recent water exploration program has proven highly successful in discovering and defining adequate reservoirs of ground water for envisaged operations on the Company's freehold land. This has been carried out as part of the Don Nicolas feasibility and the water bores are located nearby the anticipated mining and treatment locations.

Resource Estimate Authorship and Methodology

The resource estimate was prepared by Mr Doug Corley, Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, Associate Resource Geologist in Resource Modelling with Coffey Mining Pty Ltd. Doug Corley is recognized as a Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

On the basis of the confidence levels of the key criteria that were considered during the resource estimation, the mineral resource estimates provided in this press release have been classified and reported in accordance with CIM guidelines and National Instrument NI.43-101.

The upgraded Don Nicolas resource estimate was based upon 323 diamond drill holes for 37,316 meters and 234 reverse circulation (RC) holes for 12,604 meters. In addition, extensive surface trenching was used. The resource estimates apply a 0.3g/t gold bottom cut for the global resource and a 1.6g/t bottom cut to provide the high grade component. Top cutting was applied as appropriate for each of the vein systems.

Mr Doug Corley conducted two field visits to the project site where he had the opportunity to interact with project geologists and related staff and to study the geology and associated mineralization in order to become familiar with the geological demeanour as well as continuity of grade distribution inherent to the Don Nicolas deposits.

Resource estimation methodology included completion using Ordinary Kriging or the Multiple Indicator Kriging method, whichever was the most appropriate.
