The San Rafael zinc-lead-silver underground mine is a brownfield mine being developed in the Cosalá mining district in Sinaloa, Mexico. Americas Silver Corporation (formerly Scorpio Mining) is developing the mine. Construction of the mine started in October 2016 and the first concentrate is expected to be produced in the third quarter of 2017. The mine is expected to produce approximately 1Moz of silver, 50 million pounds (Mlb) of zinc, and 20Mlb of lead over the initial mine life of six years.
“Continuing with our plan to focus on our producing assets within the Company, management has made the decision to divest the Gavilanes Project,” stated Arturo Préstamo, President and CEO of Santacruz. “The Company is transitioning into a multi-mine Mexican silver producer that we expect will generate solid cash flow as we grow. The monetization of Gavilanes would allow us to further improve our operations on the Company’s two producing assets, and, once completed, will serve to fulfill the remaining obligations under the JMET, LLC facility, thereby unencumbering the Company’s assets.”
We are grateful for this expression of confidence from our long-term shareholders, stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO. This significant injection of capital enhances our ability to follow-up on the considerable success we have had at the Alamos Silver project in Southern Sonora State. We look forward to updating the market shortly on our drilling plans as we continue to identify targets on the four newly discovered high-grade vein systems.
