Arturo Bonillas, President & CEO of Magna, stated:
"I am beyond pleased with all the progress the team has made. During the month of August 2021, the San Francisco Mine produced ~7,000 oz of gold. Having been involved with the mine since its inception, I can confirm that August 2021 ranks amongst the best months in the history of the mine. Q3 2021 was the first full quarter of commercial production since Magna acquired the mine and the team continues to optimize and improve operations daily. As production continues to ramp up, we look to exit the year with monthly production of >7,000 oz/month."
