Pan American Silver Mineral Reserves Increase to 288 Million Ounces

“Our geology teams achieved another year of successful reserve replacement and resource additions, as exemplified by the newly discovered mineral reserves at our Morococha and Huaron mines in 2017,” said Christopher Emerson, Pan American’s Vice President Business Development and Geology. “We added about 33 million ounces of new silver mineral reserves in 2017, more than replacing ounces depleted through mining. The silver grade of the mineral reserves increased by 13% to 94 grams per tonne, in part reflecting the additions of the new high-grade properties in Argentina.”

Endeavour Silver Updates Development Progress and Improves Operating Metrics of the El Compas Gold-Silver Mine Project in Zacatecas, Mexico

Bradford Cooke, CEO of Endeavour Silver, commented, “We look forward to commissioning El Compas as our fourth operating mine over the next two months. Following the commissioning phase, the mine should generate robust economic returns at current metal prices because the two known mineralized zones ,El Compas and El Orito, are relatively shallow and high grade. The operation is very scalable if we discover new orebodies or purchase additional mineral resources in the Zacatecas district and refurbish the second ball mill to increase plant throughput to more than 500 tpd.”
