Cyprium Mining Corporation is pleased to announce the results from 71 additional underground samples taken from the Tunel body as part of its ongoing exploration program of the Potosi silver mine located in Santa Eulalia, Mexico. Of the 71 samples taken, 34 were channel samples taken at the edges of old stopes on levels 1 and 2, and 37 samples were of previously broken mineralized rock from levels 1, 2 and 3 that was left behind at the end of the last mining in this area. All samples were taken in areas where Cyprium expects initial production to take place.
“During the second quarter at the Rosario Mine we experienced some equipment issues that were resolved by quarter’s end, resulting in a slight production reduction. Going forward such equipment issues are not expected to be a factor given the recent improvement in our working capital.” stated Arturo Préstamo, CEO of Santacruz adding, “At the Veta Grande Mine production and mine development improved significantly by quarter’s end with the recent addition of a new jumbo drill and underground haulage equipment.”
La minería tuvo en 2015 uno de sus peores años; algunos analistas lo compararon con las crisis financiera mundial de 2008 y la asiática de 1997, al considerar que los precios de los metales fueron a la baja. El fierro cayó a su nivel más bajo desde mayo de 2009 – 40 dólares por tonelada -, el oro 8 por ciento, la plata 18 por ciento y el cobre 20 por ciento.
J. Duane Poliquin, chairman of Almaden commented: “We are gratified by the continued support of our shareholders.

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President & CEO remarked, It is very encouraging to receive additional high grade results from our ongoing underground channel sampling program at Las Chispas as we continue to gain further access to historic workings. Our onsite team has safely ascended to the historic 300 level** of the Las Chispas vein with subsequent ongoing mapping and sampling. Our channel sample results on the 300 and 400 levels are showing multiple grades of plus 1 kilogram per tonne silver and up to 2.2 kilograms per tonne silver equivalent*. We are experiencing minimal challenges in accessing and rehabilitating the underground workings. Rehabilitation mainly consists of the removal and stockpiling of historic backfill material along with safely constructing ladders and bridges. We are currently surface drilling based on the expanded Phase I program with ongoing compilation of all our drill data and integration with underground results.

“Avino is pleased to report another solid quarter of production results. During the quarter we produced 629,780 silver equivalent ounces. In the same quarter last year, we produced 819,300 silver equivalent ounces, however, during the current quarter we replaced the bearings in the ball mill in Mill Circuit 3 which contributed to lower milling rates. Up to this quarter, Avino had delivered 11 consecutive quarters of comparative growth; with these repairs complete we’re excited about our ability to maintain smooth and consistent operations with the transition to commercial production at the Avino Mine now complete.
