GREAT PANTHER MINING LIMITED announces that, further to its press release dated August 1, 2019, the Company has closed its bought deal financing for aggregate gross proceeds of US$17,250,000, pursuant to which the Company issued 23,000,000 common shares of the Company at the price of US$0.75 per Share.
Bradford Cooke, Endeavour CEO, commented, Our Second Quarter, 2019 financial performance reflects the continued operational challenges we experienced in the First Quarter, 2019. However, we initiated several changes in Q2 to turn around our operating performance and we are seeing progress at two mines. At Guanacevi, both grades and recoveries improved as production increased from the new Milache orebody. At El Compas, throughput, grades and recoveries improved as we delivered our first full quarter of commercial production. At Bolanitos, the operational changes continued into July so we are looking for progress in H2, 2019. At El Cubo, Q2 production was as planned.
Goldplay President and CEO Marcio Fonseca commented, ‘A year ago, our data indicated high-grade silver, lead and zinc at San Marcial. We have now added high-grade gold over multiple target areas covering approximately 6 km of trend prospective for gold and silver mineralization.’
Gernot Wober, VP Exploration stated, ‘The first-ever documented underground results from the historic mines at Minerva were impressive. Mapping and sampling of the underground workings, in addition to surface work completed previously, continues to indicate that the mineralizing system is very high grade. The current results are extremely positive and support the drilling program that we plan to initiate later this year, the first drilling the Project has ever seen.’
‘The receipt of the MIA permit approvals represents the culmination of our efforts over the last couple of years to transform Minera Alamos into a commercial gold producer. We are extremely proud of our technical teams efforts to successfully obtain operating permits for the Santana project in a little over a year following their submission.’ stated Darren Koningen, CEO of Minera Alamos.
Fred Stanford, President & CEO of Torex, stated: ‘We delivered record gold production and sales in Q2, with gold output increasing and cash costs declining quarter-over-quarter as anticipated. With the strong production result, we are well on track to delivering on our full year sales guidance of 430,000 ounces (+/- 7%) as well as our total cash cost and all-in sustaining cost guidance. ‘
Jorge A. Ganoza, President and CEO, commented, ‘Our results in the second quarter reflect a strong financial performance in spite of a challenging price environment for silver, with adjusted net earnings per share of 6 cents, adjusted EBITDA margin of 40 percent, and free cash flow from ongoing operations of $15.4 million.’
“During the second quarter of 2019, we experienced an unplanned downtime of 5 days due to labour negotiations regarding the closure of the San Gonzalo Mine, this, together with a decline in the feed grade at San Gonzalo, had an impact on our earnings during the second quarter of 2019” said David Wolfin, President and CEO.
“We delivered strong operating performance in Q2, resulting in cash flow from operations of $83.5 million,” said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The integration of the Tahoe assets is progressing well, and the associated transaction costs are now substantially behind us. Combined with the recent strengthening in precious metal prices and an outlook for lower costs, we should see operating margins improve over the remainder of the year.”
The “About Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd.” section of the August 6th news release stated that “…The Company also indirectly owns 50% of the Zimapan silver-zinc mine.” The Company wishes to clarify that the Company does not have any indirect ownership interest in the Zimapan mine.
