Jason Weber, President & CEO of Alianza, commented “We have a diverse project portfolio of base and precious metal projects in excellent jurisdictions. We will continue to add to this portfolio in preparation for a market turn-around, so that we are ready to move quickly as our potential partners are able to fund exploration projects to make new discoveries.”

“The announcement of today’s debt restructuring, along with the decision to lock in our $5.0 million gain on our BAML lead and zinc hedge, and to push out the settlement of the revolving credit line by three years, immediately improves the Company’s working capital position and provides significant financial flexibility to continue pursuing our corporate objectives,” stated Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO. “Our strengthened balance sheet and diverse portfolio of producing silver mines provides us with the opportunity to access funds at a low cost of capital.”

“We were pleased with our operating performance in 2015, meeting our guidance, reducing our costs and raising nearly $1 billion through two streaming transactions to strengthen our balance sheet,” said Don Lindsay, President and CEO. “However, the commodity cycle continues to provide us with a very challenging environment such that our near-term priorities are to keep all of our operations cash flow positive, meet our commitment to Fort Hills with internal sources of funds, evaluate options to further strengthen our liquidity and maintain a strong financial position by ending the year without drawing on our lines of credit.”

Mexico, with a long and rich history of mining, is home to some of the largest mines in the world! It is currently the largest global producer of silver. The country is also one of the world’s top producers of fluorite, bismuth, celestite, sodium sulphate, wollastonite, lead, molybdenum, diatomite, cadmium, graphite, baryte, salt, gypsum, manganese, and zinc.
