“Greens Creek continues to drive Hecla’s strong, consistent production performance,” said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., Hecla’s President and CEO. “We expect a considerably stronger fourth quarter, now that the ventilation system has restarted at Lucky Friday and with higher-grade material from the 123 Zone at Casa Berardi. When coupled with the startup of San Sebastian which is underway, we are optimistic about our performance going into 2016.”

“Santacruz has again improved upon the previous quarter’s production performance at the Rosario Mine in Q3,” stated Arturo Préstamo, CEO of Santacruz. “During Q3 we successfully transitioned from third party contractor underground mining to an in-house mining operations team. This action was taken to both further reduce the cost structure at the Rosario Mine and to ensure more management control over the day to day mining operations. We are pleased to be now hitting our stride at the Rosario Mine and we anticipate further improvements both operationally and financially. This performance comes at a key time in the Company’s development and will allow us to continue our path forward.”

Alain Lambert, Chairman and CEO of Cyprium stated: “Following our announcement on the proposed joint venture for the exploitation and exploration of the Potosi silver mine located in the historic silver rich mining district of Santa Eulalia in Mexico, we were approached by investors wanting to participate in our future growth by way of equity. We had originally planned to finance this transaction solely from the proceeds of the previously announced non-dilutive placement of bonds of Cyprium in the aggregate amount of US$4,500,000. We view the investors’ interest, especially in today’s market environment, as a strong show of confidence for the Company and we have decided to proceed with this equity financing.”

Aurcana’s Board of Directors has determined that the Restructuring Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders under the circumstances. The Restructuring Transaction will result in, among other things, an elimination of all debt obligations outstanding under the Facility on implementation of the Restructuring Transaction. The net result of the transaction will see Aurcana relinquishing control over its operations and subsidiaries in Mexico, the Shafter Silver Project will become Aurcana’s principal property asset and there will be sufficient cash in the treasury to meet the Company’s intermediate-term obligations and advance its asset base.

Mark Brennan, President and CEO of Sierra Metals, commented: “The Company continues to implement best practices and modern methodologies as we work to increase production in the coming years. Recognizing lower production in the short-term at Yauricocha as we work to make these changes, we are pleased that the Company has still maintained a solid quarter of production, including record silver equivalent production and plant throughput at our Cusi Mine. The quality of our assets, operated by our skilled teams, enables us to continue on the path towards meeting 2015 production guidance.”
