Industrias Penoles, S.A.B. de C.V., in order to clarify the information published yesterday in various media communications concerning investment of $ 11.730 billion pesos in the municipalities of Torreón and General Cepeda, in the state of Coahuila, informs the investing public:

“The third quarter saw improved production with better grades and an improved cost profile,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are aiming for the lower end of our production targets for the year due to the delay in the implementation of the optimization plan for Platosa. The optimization plan continues to be the Company’s top priority, with our technical teams currently working to improve the project’s efficacy and cost. We expect to provide an update on the optimization plan shortly.”

The proceeds from the Private Placement are expected to be used by the Company for the purchase of new underground mining equipment, general working capital and corporate purposes. All shares issued will be subject to a four month hold period.

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used by Prospero for exploration expenditures on its Petate project in Mexico and for general working capital purposes. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day following the closing of the Offering.

“We are taking significant steps to meet the challenge of low commodity prices,” said Don Lindsay, President and CEO. “We have reduced costs throughout the company and we’ve raised nearly $1 billion in two streaming transactions. We used a portion of those proceeds to reduce debt by $400 million and our current cash balance of $1.8 billion exceeds our remaining $1.5 billion share of capital required for Fort Hills.”

“Greens Creek continues to drive Hecla’s strong, consistent production performance,” said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., Hecla’s President and CEO. “We expect a considerably stronger fourth quarter, now that the ventilation system has restarted at Lucky Friday and with higher-grade material from the 123 Zone at Casa Berardi. When coupled with the startup of San Sebastian which is underway, we are optimistic about our performance going into 2016.”

“Santacruz has again improved upon the previous quarter’s production performance at the Rosario Mine in Q3,” stated Arturo Préstamo, CEO of Santacruz. “During Q3 we successfully transitioned from third party contractor underground mining to an in-house mining operations team. This action was taken to both further reduce the cost structure at the Rosario Mine and to ensure more management control over the day to day mining operations. We are pleased to be now hitting our stride at the Rosario Mine and we anticipate further improvements both operationally and financially. This performance comes at a key time in the Company’s development and will allow us to continue our path forward.”

The Company expects to close the acquisition of the complete process plant and select auxiliary equipment used in the operation of Goldcorp’s El Sauzal Mine in Chihuahua, Mexico from a Mexican subsidiary of Goldcorp later this month. The Plant is being acquired for future use at the Company’s recently acquired Ana Paula project in Guerrero, Mexico.
