Third Quarter 2016 Production Highlights (Compared to Third Quarter 2015)
"Despite the third quarter being challenged by lower grades, recoveries and two temporary shut-downs, we expect to meet our production guidance for 2016," stated Robert Archer, President & CEO.

Guanajuato Mine Complex
In the third quarter of 2016, metal production at the GMC was 2% lower than the previous quarter, and decreased by 5%, to 755,008 Ag eq oz, when compared to the same quarter in the previous year. The decrease was attributed to lower grades and gold recoveries at San Ignacio, mainly reflecting variance from the modeled mineral resource. Additional underground drilling is being undertaken to improve the resource definition in these areas. These factors were partly offset by a 6% increase in ore processed compared to the third quarter of 2015.
