A total of USD$5,000,000 in gross proceeds are anticipated to be raised through the sale of 2,066,115 units at a price of USD$2.42 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one-half of a transferable share purchase warrant, subject to customary closing conditions.

“2013 was a positive year for our Company, notwithstanding the lower silver price environment.” said John Smith, President and CEO. “We delivered strong results at our Pirquitas mine through our restructuring program, achieving significantly lower cash costs for the year. This was done in addition to completing the deepening of the San Miguel pit, which lowers the future mine strip ratio. These activities position us for higher production and lower costs in 2014. We also maintained our strong balance sheet through our convertible note raising, asset sales and disciplined cost management enabling us to acquire the Marigold mine in 2014, a transformational growth opportunity.”
