Santacruz Silver Provides Update on Veta Grande Mine Commissioning

“The first phase of commissioning of the refurbished Veta Grande processing plant has gone according to plan. Going forward the mill-feed for the plant is expected to be sourced solely from newly developed underground mine workings, which should result in a steady increase of the silver grades and improved recoveries,” stated Arturo Préstamo, CEO of Santacruz. “We have been very pleased with the progress achieved both in the mine and at the Veta Grande plant. The operations team has done an excellent job refurbishing this asset and making improvements that will benefit us as we progress through the year. In addition we are assessing the opportunity to deliver Veta Grande mill-feed to the Rosario Mine in order to leverage the available capacity at the Rosario milling facility. Any such decision will not impact the primary objective of maximizing production at the Veta Grande Mine.”
