I am confident that we are well-placed to meet our 2015 production guidance of 45-47 million ounces of silver (including the Silverstream) and our increased 2015 gold production guidance of 715-730 thousand ounces.”

Based on our current plan of operations, we believe that we are now funded into 2018; and we still have opportunities to access additional financing from non-dilutive sources such as the sale of our used mill equipment and monetization of other non-core assets…”
