On behalf of the Argonaut team, I want to thank Dick Rhoades for his contributions to the organization over the past four years. We wish him well in his future endeavours. At the operations, third quarter production did not meet expectations due to heavy rainfall and mine sequencing at El Castillo. As the rainy season is now behind us and with the additional crushing facilities fully operational, we believe we will see improvements during the fourth quarter in terms of placements to the leach pads.”

Production remains on track to achieve our ‘guidance’ of 275,000 ounces in our first year of production. The ramp up continues ahead of schedule, notwithstanding a rainy season that delivered 68% more rainfall than an average year. Mining came through the rainy season well and stripping of El Limon tracks ahead of schedule. We are working on optimizing the tailings filtration circuit, and the RopeCon continues to impress. Grade reconciliation is back to being just slightly ahead of plan, copper is being managed with reagents and recoveries are ahead of plan. Exploration drilling ‘under the sill’ started up ahead of schedule and we should have results to report by year end or early next year. Exciting times on a number of fronts.”

“We are very pleased with our financial performance during the quarter and fiscal year to date,” stated Interim CEO Mark Backens. “Our cash costs for the quarter of $785 per ounce and all-in sustaining cash costs of $846 per ounce were particularly strong and were both 23% lower than the comparable period of the previous year. Of significant note is the great improvement in our balance sheet with over $33 million of positive contribution over the first three quarters of this year during which our cash balance increased to $18.5 million from $9.2 million, our trade payables reduced by over $12.3 million to $14.5 million and we have repaid over $11.8 million in secured debt.
