“The third quarter was a very successful and eventful quarter for Great Panther. Our Mexican operations delivered production in support of our guidance for the year and continued to advance the permitting of the new tailings facility at Topia,” stated Jim Bannantine, President & CEO. “After closing the acquisition of Coricancha just before the start of the third quarter, we quickly turned our attention to advancing a resource update and on engineering and environmental studies, and other evaluations in support of a decision to restart mine development. I am pleased that we continue to maintain a strong balance sheet with $55 million of cash and deposits, no debt and strong liquidity of our shares. These factors along with a solid management team put us in a good position to pursue acquisitions.”

Starcore International Mines Ltd. reports changes to its senior management at the Altiplano gold and silver processing plant in Matehuala, Mexico. The action to remove and replace senior management and sales personnel from the Altiplano operations was precipitated by a prolonged period of poor performance at the Plant. “The action taken was necessary to stem the flow of negative results at a facility that has every reason to be successful,” said Robert Eadie, Starcore’s President & CEO.
