“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.”

During the quarter, Plomosas mined 15,881 tonnes of ore at 14.8% zinc and 6.7% lead and completed 579.7m of development. Plomosas achieved record production in May, with 7,088 tonnes of ore mined at 14.5% zinc and 6.0% lead.
