“Cash generation accelerated during the quarter due to our ongoing disciplined cost management and higher silver prices,” stated Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO of First Majestic. “Our third quarter AISC came in well below guidance at $10.52 per ounce. The reduction in costs were driven primarily by renegotiated smelting and refining agreements, the continued weakness in the Mexican Peso, and record production of silver. In addition, the Company realized an average silver price of $19.72 per ounce, which is the highest price achieved in the past 10 quarters. We have already achieved 80% of our annual production guidance and continue to make great progress towards achieving our financial and strategic objectives for the year.”

“We are extremely disappointed with our third quarter operating results from our San Dimas mine in Mexico,” stated Ernest Mast, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We had expected to maintain the production levels achieved in Q2 but were impacted by unexpected labour disruptions and reduced development rates which affected average head grades. More recently during October we experienced intermittent work stoppages that have affected mining rates and increased the development backlog which we had previously expected to resolve. In addition, there was a 10-day outage at the Las Truchas hydroelectric facility due to a weld failure in the water feed pipe, further delaying mine development works. For the fourth quarter, we now expect lower production rates and restricted access to certain high-grade areas as we work to increase mine development….

San Marco’s CEO, Bob Willis stated; “As a result of our stated business plan to aggressively pursue the multitude of target areas generated by the Globetrotters/San Marco partnership, we asked our San Marco warrant holders if they would be willing to exercise their warrants much earlier than their expiry. Results so far are a testament to the quality and belief by our shareholders that significant value will result from this request, while striving to preserve our reasonable share structure.”

“The first three quarters of 2016 have demonstrated the strength of the Sandstorm business model as our ever increasing asset diversification has led to strong revenue and cash flow growth,” said Sandstorm’s President & CEO Nolan Watson. “Our Q3 net income figures have again been bolstered by the strong performance of the Company’s equity and debt investments which we intend to liquidate in due course. With no debt on the balance sheet, we have over $130 million in available capital to pursue acquisitions.”

Paul Benson, President and CEO said, “In the third quarter of 2016 we demonstrated increased scale and healthy margin with our record quarterly production, among other operating records. We produced nearly 113,000 gold equivalent ounces at all-in sustaining costs of $940 per ounce, and have improved guidance at our Marigold and Pirquitas mines. Importantly, we continued to drive our Operational Excellence programs, which delivered tangible results at all operations, including our updated five-year outlook at Marigold, a successful plant trial at Seabee and record production and quarterly throughput at Pirquitas.”
