Despite lower silver prices, we continue to advance growth projects like San Sebastian and #4 Shaft at Lucky Friday for their potential to increase production of high-grade ounces at low cash costs, after by-product credits, said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., Heclas President and CEO. Our assets, particularly Greens Creek with its recent improvements in recovery, have allowed us to weather the metals price weakness, and we retain the ability to reduce costs and programs if prices remain weak or go lower. With expected mining at San Sebastian early in 2016, and, combined with the deeper Lucky Friday in three years, we anticipate the addition of significant additional cash flow, further strengthening us going forward.
