“As previously announced, the year began slowly at Galena with expected lower grades and some necessary mill maintenance affecting silver and lead production but we are encouraged for the rest of the year with the lower grades, the mill liner changed and the associated backfill challenges behind us,” said Americas Silver President and CEO Darren Blasutti. “Development at San Rafael has recently been slowed but measures have been taken to address the poor ground conditions. We anticipate being able to resume our targeted development rate once we are in more competent ground in early May. We continue to expect to begin production from San Rafael by the end of Q3, 2017 within budget. San Rafael will transform the Company to a first-quartile cash cost producer and generate substantial cash flow in 2018 and beyond.”

“In the first quarter of 2017 we generated $22 million of operating cash flow despite challenging operating conditions at Pinto Valley,” said Darren Pylot, President and CEO of Capstone. “All three of our mines generated positive net earnings for the quarter, supported by higher realized metal prices.”

The Company is pleased to introduce a new management team that has been assembled to grow the Company into a mid-tier gold mining company by revitalizing its San Francisco Mine in Sonora, Mexico and building its high-grade, high-margin Ana Paula Project in Guerrero, Mexico. As part of the transition, Arturo Bonillas will be stepping down as President of the Company. He will continue as an advisor to the new team to ensure continuity of important permitting and community relations activities.

“This extension of our current low-cost, flexible credit facility, gives Capstone significant financial flexibility and right sizes the facility to meet our current and anticipated operating requirements,” said Darren Pylot, President and CEO of Capstone. “Our current drawn debt of approximately $300 million is comfortably within this amended availability and we have a cash balance of over $100 million.”

Brian Robertson, Chairman of the Board, stated, “We are pleased to change the name of the Company to Mexican Gold Corp. to more clearly identify the Corporation’s association with the location of its flagship Las Minas property and its strategy to explore and develop high quality mineral properties in Mexico.”

“The first quarter production at Greens Creek and San Sebastian exceeded our expectations, more than offsetting the shortfall at Lucky Friday due to a strike by the union workers,” said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., President and CEO. “While our cost of sales increased over last year due to the higher throughput from the Casa Berardi open pit operations, our cash cost, after by-product credits, declined 73% over the first quarter 2016 to $0.84 per silver ounce. This strong operating performance allowed us to add $14 million of cash since the end of the year, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of increasing cash balances.”
