(1)

Silver equivalent ounces for 2016 were calculated using a 70:1 Ag:Au ratio, and ratios of 1:0.0504 and 1:0.0504 for the price/ounce of silver to price/pound of lead and zinc, respectively.

(2)

Silver equivalent ounces for 2015 were calculated using a 65:1 Ag:Au ratio, and ratios of 1:0.050 and 1:0.056 for the price/ounce of silver to price/pound of lead and zinc, respectively.



 

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.
