Year: 2020

Rick Trotman, CEO of Barksdale said: “Our sights are firmly set on making discoveries that have the potential to deliver significant upside to our shareholders. The acquisition of San Javier will not only add a new district with robust discovery potential to our asset base, but it should also serve as a strong catalyst to enhance our engagement with our excellent shareholder base as we drive our permitting processes at Sunnyside and San Antonio to completion.”

“The combination of a strong rise in the gold price and record production at our flagship Tucano mine, leading to a substantially lower AISC, drove a significant increase in cash flow from operating activities to a record $19.5 million for the second quarter of 2020,” stated President and CEO Rob Henderson.

Golden Minerals’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Warren Rehn, commented, “With the recent capital raise completed, we have a significant cash balance and are now in an excellent position to fund a start-up of production at the Rodeo deposit early next year, assuming that the results of our confirmatory drilling program are satisfactory and providing we receive the necessary government approvals.”

The Company anticipates closing a second and final tranche of the Financing on or about August 11, 2020, which may include an increase in the overall Financing to 25,645,000 Units for gross proceeds of up to $3,975,000 based on demand.

“Despite the pandemic, Hecla had its second highest quarterly silver production since 2016 which, combined with higher prices, resulted in almost 25% more revenue than a year ago and generated about $27 million of free cash flow,” said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., Hecla’s President and CEO.

“The global COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on Q2 results, with all our Latin American operations placed in care and maintenance mode for periods of time during the quarter. Except for our two polymetallic underground mines in Peru, all operations are now back in production under comprehensive health and safety protocols,” said Michael Steinmann, President and Chief Executive Officer.
