Arturo Préstamo, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of Santacruz, commented, “The Company had a solid quarter in the face of a challenging commodity price environment.” Mr. Préstamo continued, “While we continue to identify and implement efficiencies at all our assets, it is important to highlight the significant changes that were made at the Zimapan mine in Mexico during the quarter. By streamlining the management team and shifting to more owner-operated mining, we were able to increase productivity and decrease costs, and expect to continue to see the benefits from these changes in the next quarter.”
Prime Chief Executive Officer Daniel Kunz commented, “We are pleased to announce our graduation to the main board of the Toronto Stock Exchange, a significant milestone in the evolution of Prime Mining Corp.

Paddy Nicol, CEO of Orogen, commented: “Orogen’s profit primarily resulted from record royalty revenue from the Ermitaño gold-silver Mine where increased production rates, strong gold grades and improvement in recoveries were achieved. Prospect generation remains profitable and we continue to obtain payments and transact on projects that organically grow our royalty portfolio. In addition, our positive cashflow from operations continues to strengthen our balance sheet and allows us to take advantage of counter cyclical opportunities in the current market.”

“Resource expansion drilling at Copala, both to the north and southeast, continue to highlight a robust precious metals structure well beyond the January 2023 resource boundary,” commented Michael Konnert, President & CEO. “New step out drilling has extended the total mineralized strike length of Copala by approximately 100 metres to the south and it remains open in both directions. Additionally, drilling has confirmed the continuity of the high-grade Copala 2 vein located between Tajitos and Copala main which now measures a total of 600 metres in mineralized strike.”
James Anderson, Chairman & CEO said, “The past producing El Horcon mine is ideally situated to become a satellite mining operation that could significantly expand Guanajuato Silver’s production profile. The El Horcon mine fits well within our strategy of further consolidating the Guanajuato mining district as we look to take advantage of the excess processing capacity of our two operating mills in the area. In addition to being able to immediately access low-cost mineralized material from the existing stockpile, we are confident that the development programs we have planned for 2024 will add value to El Horcon and allow us to rapidly advance this exciting project.”
