“We have achieved constructive progress both operationally and financially in the first quarter this year.” said Arturo Préstamo, President and CEO. “Our decision in Q3 2015 to move to an in-house mining team is now beginning to show the benefits. In addition, our change in mining method to cut-and-fill has resulted in better dilution control and consequently improved head grade. These measures were taken in order to produce efficient ounces and have resulted in the reduced costs you see in this first quarter. We will continue to implement cost saving initiatives going forward with a view to further reducing costs.”

Mark Backens, Interim CEO of Timmins Gold Corp., stated, “We very much appreciate the support of our shareholders. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank outgoing Board Member Luc Lessard for his contribution to the Company over the last two years.”

Added Mexus CEO Paul Thompson, “The scale and scope that MarMar brings to this project will allow the mine to be built out much larger and much faster than we had planned. This is a great fit for Mexus and a win for our shareholders. Marco’s knowledge and experience with large mines will prove invaluable as we move forward. Between our geologist, Cesar Lemas, and MarMars’ certified geologist we’ve identified over 1,000,000 tons of mineralized material with an average value of 1.5 gram AU per ton. This material sits at the surface with an initial mining depth of 3 meters and no overburden. We know that this properties value goes much deeper than that. In addition, the certified geologists will begin a drill program that will be the basis of creating an NI 43-101. Our goal is to mirror what Penoles did just 30km south of our property and create a world class mine that will produce gold for years to come.”
