Premier Reports 2018 First Quarter Production Results – Highlights include 30,550 ozs of Gold Production
Gold production from South Arturo during the quarter has already exceeded annual guidance, as a result of a decision by Barrick (the operator) in January to accelerate the processing of the Phase 2 ore stockpile. At Mercedes, the Company expects full year production to be weighted toward the second half of 2018 after modifications to the mine plan are realized at the new Diluvio deposit to account for slight differences in the orebody geometry versus the original plan (model). The Company remains on-track to meet or exceed its consolidated full-year production guidance of 85,000-95,000 ounces of gold.
