SilverCrest Expands High-Grade Granaditas Vein, Discovers New Vein

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng and CEO, remarked, “With this expansion of the Granaditas Vein and discovery of the Granaditas Dos Vein, we continue to increase our near-surface high-grade footprint in the Las Chispas district. There are several other veins adjacent to the Granaditas reported veins and further drilling may indicate high-grade continuity with additional discoveries to be announced in this area. Conceptually, all high-grade veins discovered to date in the Babicanora and Granaditas areas could have shared underground infrastructure with benefits to mine sequencing and cost savings. It is our intention to include eight veins in the proposed updated resource planned for Q3 2018. The updated resource is to include the new 2018 discoveries of the Granaditas, Babicanora Norte and Luigi veins as well as expansions to the previously defined veins (Babicanora including Area 51, Babicanora FW, Las Chispas, Giovanni including La Blanquita, and William Tell).

IMPACT Silver Announces Second Quarter 2018 Financial and Production Results

Fred Davidson, President & CEO of IMPACT stated, “This quarter we encountered the perfect storm of lower silver prices, lower grades at our mill, and fluctuating currencies. To address this headwind of lower revenue and rising costs, the team has done an admirable job of reining in costs and decreasing operating expenses to $3.8 million from $3.9 million in the same quarter of 2017 while still processing about the same tonnage. Going forward, the Company will focus on ore grade selection including access to higher zinc zones. On a positive note, we have had excellent drilling success with the discovery of the new San Ramon Deeps 2 Zone just south of our current active mining areas.”
