Great Panther Silver Reports Third Quarter 2015 Production Results

“Great Panther’s third quarter continued this year’s trend of delivering strong operational performance at the Guanajuato Mine Complex and the Topia Mine”, stated Robert Archer, President & CEO. “The ongoing ramp up in production at San Ignacio, since commencing commercial production in June of last year, was a major factor in the increase in production over the third quarter of 2014 and also contributed to the higher grades at the GMC. In addition, our team’s pursuit of efficiencies and better grade control is another important factor in the overall stronger operations that are keeping us on track to exceed our guidance for 2015 in terms of both production and lower cash and all-in sustaining costs.”

First Majestic Produces 3.6 Million Silver Eqv. Ounces in Q3’15

“Our third quarter results saw overall improvements in silver recoveries and throughput rates primarily due to the recent expansion of the La Encantada plant to 3,000 tonnes per day. At San Martin and La Guitarra, we continue to encounter high grades of silver and gold which resulted in record quarterly production at both operations,” stated Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO of First Majestic. “However, due to the continued weakness in metal prices, we are modifying our operations in order to ensure free cash flow is generated across the entire business. These changes include additional layoffs and mine plan revisions. Once these changes are fully implemented, and with the addition of the newly acquired Santa Elena Mine, the Company is expected to benefit from improved operating margins, increased cash flows and greater economies of scale.”
