“We are grateful to have Gernot join our team as Oban Mining’s representative, with his extensive experience in advanced project exploration and development,” commented Rob McLeod, President and CEO of IDM. “Gernot and I previously worked together for Lac Minerals at Red Mountain in the early 1990’s, and I look forward to working with him again as we advance the Project through permitting, engineering and additional exploration.”

“In light of the current commodity price environment our 2016 guidance and five year outlook focuses on financial flexibility, while maximizing the cost efficiency of our existing operations,” said Darren Pylot, Capstone President and CEO. “2016 is expected to be a strong year operationally for us as we process ore from the high grade Minto North open pit. We will further benefit from Cozamin’s consistent performance and have started the year running well at Pinto Valley.”

“I’m happy to report that we generated strong production growth in 2015,” said David Wolfin, Avino’s President and CEO. “In fact, we achieved the highest silver equivalent ounce output in the Company’s 49-year history. I congratulate our team of over 450 people for achieving this milestone during challenging conditions for the mining industry overall.”

“During 2015 we began the process of improving mining conditions at Platosa,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While water management continued to present challenges throughout the year and limited access to the high grade 623 and Guadalupe South mantos, we began to see material improvements from our dewatering efforts late in Q4. Our mine planners and geologists also identified a new mineralized zone connecting the 623 and Guadalupe South mantos, which is being exploited in Q1 2016. We look forward to furthering these improvements as Platosa’s optimization plan is implemented during 2016.”
