At the Pitarrilla project, we are reviewing drill programs and engineering studies to identify additional zones and continuity of high grade Mineral Resources with the potential to improve project economics based on current metal prices. We are evaluating contractors to extend the existing underground access and drill these areas. If approved, drilling is anticipated to commence in the second half of 2020.
“The Company remains on target to achieve its full year production and cost guidance despite the expected lower production from the Galena Complex and lower realized metal prices in the quarter,” said Americas Silver President and CEO Darren Blasutti. “The second half of 2019 will be a very exciting period for our Company as we expect not only higher silver production, but most importantly, first gold pour from the Relief Canyon Mine.”
Octavio Alvídrez, Chief Executive Officer of Fresnillo plc, said: “As we previously disclosed in our second quarter production report, continued challenges at our Fresnillo, Saucito and Herradura mines, combined with higher costs, have impacted profitability for the period. Following the measures put in place, we have seen some short term improvement in mine performance at both Fresnillo and Saucito and we expect to see a gradual improvement in the following quarters, albeit not at the rate we had anticipated. We have therefore adjusted our full year production forecasts in the second quarter production report.”
