“During the second quarter, we realized on our plan to resume high-grade and cash flowing production from Platosa,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We certainly faced challenges over the first half of 2017, with access to ore limited by water inflows, but our team executed and, by the end of the second quarter, we had achieved dry mining conditions and were mining fresh, high-grade manto mineralization. Looking forward, our goal is to steadily increase production over the remainder of 2017 to 300 tpd by year-end. We have also began driving further reductions in key cost centres, most importantly electricity usage, where incremental savings can result in material additional cash flow. We remain focused on our target of doubling production and halving costs at Platosa over the coming quarters and we are already pleased with the improvements in cash flow we see at 200+ tpd.”

“Operational performance in the second quarter was on plan, with costs trending down from the first quarter,” said Darren Pylot, President and CEO of Capstone. “Most importantly, Pinto Valley returned to full production, setting quarterly and monthly throughput records.”

“For the second half of the year, approximately half of our production is unhedged and completely unhedged in 2018 and beyond,” continued Mr. Pylot.
