“With continued strong operating performance, favourable local currency foreign exchange rates, and near-term opportunities to increase production at several of our mines, we remain well-positioned to manage the current price volatility in the gold market”, said Sean Boyd , Agnico Eagle’s Chief Executive Officer. “In these challenging times, we will continue to focus on reducing costs and we will remain measured in our approach to managing and growing our business”, added Mr. Boyd.

Keith Neumeyer, Chairman of First Mining stated, “We welcome Derek as a new member of our management team. His experience, contacts, and knowledge with leading investor relations initiatives in the mining sector will be important as we continue to build our team and grow shareholder value through mineral asset acquisitions.”

“The second quarter further solidified our company’s strong start to the year,” stated Randall Oliphant, Executive Chairman. “Our gold production year-to-date has been consistent with our plans. After investing in the mill expansion and waste stripping at our open pit operations in the first six months of 2015, we are now positioned to benefit from higher gold production coupled with lower costs in the second half of the year. At the same time, we further increased our financial flexibility by $175 million with the recently announced Rainy River streaming transaction. We look forward to the acceleration of construction activity at Rainy River through the remainder of this year and into 2016.”

“In the second quarter of 2015 we continued our focus on flexibility and execution,” said Darren Pylot, President and CEO of Capstone. “We maintained our financial flexibility by entering into zero-cost collars for 36,000 tonnes of copper production at a minimum price of US$2.60 per pound to the end of Q3 2015 to ensure we can execute our 2015 capital program in this difficult copper price environment.”

“We are delighted to welcome Ned back on the Board,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “His experience as an industry leader and company builder is invaluable. He returns to the Board at a vital time, as we upgrade Platosa into one of the lowest cost silver mines in the industry and position the Company to take full advantage of the opportunities afforded by current market conditions.”
