Minefinders Corporation announced maiden NI 43-101 compliant resource estimation for the La Bolsa property located in northern Sonora, Mexico. At a nominal 0.25 g/t gold cutoff, the measured and indicated resource estimate includes 15.9 million tonnes grading 0.706 g/t gold and 9.4 g/t silver totaling 360,000 ounces of gold and 4.8 million ounces of silver. An additional 47,000 ounces of gold with 480,000 ounces of silver at the same cutoff are classified as inferred resources.
