Peter Secker, CEO of Bacanora, said, “With Indicated lithium resources of 5.0 Mt LCE contained in 364 Mt of clay, at a Li grade of 2,600 ppm, Sonora is one of the world’s larger lithium deposits. During the period under review we commenced a PFS to establish the commerciality of a plant at Sonora with the potential to deliver up to 35,000 tonnes per annum of lithium carbonate, in a two phase process. We are highly encouraged by the progress made to date and we expect to be in a position to announce the results of the PFS in Q1, 2016.

Frederick H. Earnest, added, “The Guadalupe project is a non-core project for Vista. The work that Great Panther and its subsidiary (Coboro Minerales de Mexico, S.A. de C.V) completed over the last two years has confirmed previous work and provided additional information about the low-sulfidation epithermal veins systems in the district. We continue to believe that the Guadalupe project has good prospects for future development based on the identified and prospective mineral resources. At the appropriate time we intend to seek a new partner who can advance the project to a development decision.”

Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald stated: “This is an exciting time for Kootenay and Northair shareholders. The Kootenay-Northair transaction alongside the concurrent financing and option arrangement with Pan American, announced on February 16, 2016, puts us in a strong position to build on our consolidation platform and to advance both the La Negra and La Cigarra assets. I look forward to updating both the Kootenay shareholders and Northair shareholders as we continue to grow.”

Paul Benson, President and CEO said, “This was a quarter and a year of records for Silver Standard. Marigold exceeded our improved production and cash cost guidance and produced over 207,000 ounces of gold, a record in the mine’s 28-year history. Pirquitas also performed at the top end of guidance, driving total production to over 350,000 gold equivalent ounces at cash costs 11% lower than in 2014. We continued to invest in our future and generated significant exploration success at Marigold while also advancing our option to earn into the Chinchillas project, a potential satellite deposit for Pirquitas. …”

Jim Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Arian, commented, “We are pleased to be making progress in rebuilding Arian, whilst remaining cognisant of the current low metal prices and the fact that investor sentiment towards the mining sector remains negative. With this in mind, we are initially concentrating our efforts on near-term and low-cost production opportunities, possibly through the leaching of tailings. Mining and metals markets operate in cycles and the current sentiment will change in time, as such we are also looking at projects with longer-term potential.”
