VANCOUVER, April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - GREAT PANTHER SILVER LIMITED (TSX: GPR; NYSE MKT: GPL) ("Great Panther"; the "Company") announces production results for the first quarter ("Q1") 2017 from its two wholly-owned Mexican silver mining operations: the Topia Mine in Durango and the Guanajuato Mine Complex ("GMC"), which includes the San Ignacio Mine.
First Quarter 2017 Production Highlights (Compared to First Quarter 2016)
- Topia processing plant was suspended for the quarter to facilitate planned plant upgrades and the transition to new tailings handling and storage facilities.
- This primarily accounted for a 28% decrease in metal production to 727,372 silver equivalent ounces ("Ag eq oz")
- Silver production decreased 32% to 364,995 silver ounces ("Ag oz")
- Gold production decreased 8% to 5,177 gold ounces ("Au oz")
- Ore processed decreased 7%, with 82,456 tonnes milled
"The planned suspension of milling operations at Topia was in effect throughout the entire first quarter and had an obvious impact on our overall metal production," stated Robert Archer, President & CEO. "However, we continued mining at Topia throughout this period, and with the commissioning of the upgraded plant and the new tailings handling facility now underway, we have commenced the processing of ore stockpiled during the shutdown. This will continue through the balance of the year, such that we anticipate meeting our annual guidance."
