“During the recent period of low metal prices, we continued to make capital investments and advance exploration programs at both of our projects, leaving us well positioned for the improving silver price environment that we are now seeing,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and CEO. “Our ongoing optimization work has delivered results, reducing AISC by 27% quarter-over-quarter. We still have a number of opportunities to follow-up on to further reduce costs and and increase metal production. Toll milling of ore from Hecla’s San Sebastian Mine commenced in Q2 and is expected to ramp up in Q3, bolstering cash flow. With silver prices now almost $1.50/ounce higher than the average price realized during Q2, we will continue to focus on increasing cash flow and exploring for discoveries at both Platosa and Evolución.”

Alonso Lujan, Vice President of Exploration and the Country Manager for Mexico, and Miguel Paucar, Country Manager of Peru, will take over Mr. Babcock’s responsibilities and report directly to the President and CEO, Igor Gonzales.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for (i) near mine and regional exploration programs at the Tucano Gold Mine, (ii) capital expenditures in connection with the Tucano Gold Mine including optimization initiatives, and (iii) improvement of the Company’s working capital balances and general corporate purposes.

“Our operations performed well across the board in the second quarter. Gold production was in line with guidance while total cash costs were down 16% year-over-year, driving stronger margins and record cash flow from operations. This was highlighted by another record quarter of production from Island Gold where we continue to see excellent exploration results. With solid first half performance, we are well positioned to meet full year production and cost guidance,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Cozamin’s growth plan is on track to increase production by 30% by the end of 2020 and we are targeting doubling the mine life to up to 2030. Pinto Valley’s ‘PV4’ expansion plan includes options to capitalize on the roughly one billion tonnes of resources, including potentially expanding the mill by as much as 25% to 75% or higher.
