“During the third quarter the Rosario Mine made significant steps towards continued improvements in operational performance. Over the quarter we transitioned from third party contract mining to our in-house mining operations team, which carried additional costs for third quarter, but benefits will be reflected in the following quarters and years to come. With this move we will be able to continue to reduce the mining costs at the Rosario Mine. In addition, the Company commenced using a new permanent tailings disposal system that utilizes dry-stacking technology in conjunction with the prior existing tailings structure. Operating costs are also expected to decrease as a result of the implementation of this system.” said Arturo Préstamo, President and CEO.
