Americas Silver Corporation Provides Second Quarter Production and Cost Update
The San Rafael mine successfully increased mining and milling rates by almost 15% during the quarter and we expect further increases in the third quarter as it continues to ramp up the mill to capacity, said Darren Blasutti, President & CEO of Americas Silver. These increases allowed the Company to continue to drive down its industry-leading cash costs and AISC when compared to both last quarter and last year, despite lower than expected production from the Galena Complex. Now that the necessary repairs at Galena have been successfully completed in the second quarter, we can continue to execute our operational plan for the remainder of the year.
