We remain on track to achieve the low end of our full year consolidated production guidance of 375,000 to 425,000 ounces,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“As realized metal prices continue to decline, our focus remains on reducing all-in sustaining costs at our two mine sites, increasing our productivity, and reducing general and administrative expenses,” said Darren Blasutti, President and CEO of Americas Silver Corporation. “We saw significant reductions in both these cost metrics once again this quarter primarily due to vigilant cost control and increased lead production at Galena. We will need to continue this trend in the short term to offset further falling metal prices.”

“During the third quarter the Rosario Mine made significant steps towards continued improvements in operational performance. Over the quarter we transitioned from third party contract mining to our in-house mining operations team, which carried additional costs for third quarter, but benefits will be reflected in the following quarters and years to come. With this move we will be able to continue to reduce the mining costs at the Rosario Mine. In addition, the Company commenced using a new permanent tailings disposal system that utilizes dry-stacking technology in conjunction with the prior existing tailings structure. Operating costs are also expected to decrease as a result of the implementation of this system.” said Arturo Préstamo, President and CEO.
