He has worked and evaluated numerous projects around the globe plus has extensive management experience. During his career Gerhard served on the board of several junior companies and as a lead advisor.

“As previously announced, the year began slowly at Galena with expected lower grades and some necessary mill maintenance affecting silver and lead production but we are encouraged for the rest of the year with the lower grades, the mill liner changed and the associated backfill challenges behind us,” said Americas Silver President and CEO Darren Blasutti. “Development at San Rafael has recently been slowed but measures have been taken to address the poor ground conditions. We anticipate being able to resume our targeted development rate once we are in more competent ground in early May. We continue to expect to begin production from San Rafael by the end of Q3, 2017 within budget. San Rafael will transform the Company to a first-quartile cash cost producer and generate substantial cash flow in 2018 and beyond.”

“In the first quarter of 2017 we generated $22 million of operating cash flow despite challenging operating conditions at Pinto Valley,” said Darren Pylot, President and CEO of Capstone. “All three of our mines generated positive net earnings for the quarter, supported by higher realized metal prices.”

The Company is pleased to introduce a new management team that has been assembled to grow the Company into a mid-tier gold mining company by revitalizing its San Francisco Mine in Sonora, Mexico and building its high-grade, high-margin Ana Paula Project in Guerrero, Mexico. As part of the transition, Arturo Bonillas will be stepping down as President of the Company. He will continue as an advisor to the new team to ensure continuity of important permitting and community relations activities.

Canarc Resource Corp. announces that it has arranged and closed a flow-through equity financing of $500,000 with one institutional investor.
