“In the fourth quarter, mining operations at San Francisco were negatively affected by greater than expected waste tonnes mined due to block model variability versus forecast,” stated Interim CEO Mark Backens. “We have made adjustments to the model and operating plan and we have already seen a positive difference to date in Q1 2016. Due to the recent rise in gold prices, we are evaluating the possibility of mine life extension beyond 2016. In the meantime, we remain on track to achieve 2016 objectives which is to produce between 75,000 and 85,000 gold ounces at a cash cost of $750 to $850 per gold ounce.”

“This quarter we were able to announce two significant milestones; we entered into an agreement to sell our San Pedrito Property, expecting to net the Company approximately US$7million; and we poured our first doré bar from the newly commissioned Altiplano Concentrate Processing Plant located in Matehuala, Mexico. Along with our continued production and positive cash flow from our San Martin mine in Queretaro, we are expanding our profitable footprint in Mexico in accordance with our long term goals.” reported Robert Eadie, President of the Company.

“Our investment in exploration continues to pay off,” stated Ernest Mast, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have successfully grown our total Mineral Resources through the addition of new mineralized areas, such as the Froome Zone at Black Fox. We have taken measures to improve our modelling methodologies to maximize future free cash flow generation and provide more certainty to our mine plans. Looking to the future, we have a very positive outlook with expected exploration results from the Froome Zone and other Froome-like targets at Black Fox, and from areas located outside the Silver Purchase Agreement at San Dimas such as the Ventanas property and Lechuguilla concession.”
