“We increased production levels in the second quarter and we are committed on continuing to bring both of our mines up to their optimal operating rates,” stated Ernest Mast, President and Chief Executive Officer. “San Dimas showed solid production improvements over Q1 2016, achieving average mining rates of 2,500 tonnes per day. But there is still much work to be done to optimize and refine the mining cycle, increase development rates and maximize productivity and grades. We had labour disruptions during July that impacted July’s production and delayed some development work. As a result we initiated a mine optimization plan focusing on technical and human resources issues. We are continuing to make progress at Black Fox in developing the Deep Central Zone ahead of production expected in the third-quarter, unfortunately we have experienced delays in early July due to poor ground conditions on the 660 metre level. In light of these challenges the Company has reduced its 2016 production guidance.”

“Great Panther’s mine operating earnings before non-cash items increased 96% over the second quarter of 2015 due to higher silver and gold prices, favourable foreign exchange rates, and continued strong operating performance. These factors were also reflected in significant increases in operating cash flow and adjusted EBITDA, and contributed to significant growth in our cash and net working capital balances”, stated Robert Archer, President and CEO. “The substantial increase in our cash flow and margins were also reflective of 74% and 43% reductions in our cash cost and all-in sustaining cost compared to the second quarter of 2015. These came in at an impressive US$1.72 and US$7.19, respectively, for the second quarter. As such, we are taking the step to reduce our cash-cost and all-in sustaining cost guidance for the year while maintaining our production guidance.”
