“Throughout 2015, we continued to reduce costs while increasing silver-lead production and mine efficiency,” said Americas Silver Corporation President and CEO Darren Blasutti. “At the end of March, our operations were on track to deliver on our production guidance and cash costs of $9.00 – 10.00 and all-in sustaining costs of $11.75 – 12.75 per ounce for 2016. We are also excited about the results of our San Rafael pre-feasibility study and maiden reserve estimate. At current prices, it has a pre-tax IRR of 27% and attractive economic upside through conversion of the existing resource to reserve, as well as resource addition from exploration once underground access has been established. We are starting small with initial capital estimates of approximately $22 million to get into production. The project is expected to produce 5.5 million ounces of silver, 254 million pounds of zinc and 97 million pounds of lead over an initial reserve life of 5.5 years at negative silver all-in sustaining costs.”
