Hernan Dorado, COO, stated: “We are very pleased with the pace with which we are filling the vital operating positions at this early stage of our ramp-up process. Our ability to readily hire quality people, often graduates of the University of Guanajuato, speaks to the depth of mining experience within the greater Guanajuato community.”

GR Silver Mining VP Exploration, Honza Catchpole commented, “We are excited to commence this new phase of our exploration program after the successful conclusion of the resource drilling at the Plomosas Mine and San Juan Areas. With the mobilization of seven rigs, we can now begin to test new Ag-Au vein targets that we have had our eyes on for some time.”

All construction has now been completed with the full leach pad now lined and available for stacking. First loading of mined material from the Nicho Norte pit commenced earlier this month in preparation for the commissioning of leach operations around the end of June.

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude: “We are on track with BHP moving toward drill testing and continue progressing a strong pipeline of copper properties that have giant scale exploration discovery potential. As properties move along, some will no longer fit for BHP and these become 100% Riverside so over time Riverside’s sole ownership portfolio will also be growing.”
