Igor Gonzales, President, and CEO of Sierra Metals stated: “The first quarter has presented us with several challenges including an illegal strike at Yauricocha, as well as slower than expected ramp up of throughput at Bolivar and Cusi with lower head grades and recoveries. I want to assure shareholders that management remains focused on the expansions in Mexico and improving tonnage, head grades, and recovery rates which in turn will help to lower costs. Also, as noted above, it still bears mentioning that in Q1 2019 Yauricocha saw an increase in zinc equivalent metal production, Cusi had record throughput and Bolivar had a 1% increase in throughput over Q1 2018. Subsequent to Q1 2019, throughput rates continue to improve.”

“The San Rafael mine had a record quarter due to improved recovery, higher mill throughput, and increased grades, with substantial increases in silver and by-product production,” said Darren Blasutti, President & CEO of Americas Silver. “Earnings are expected to improve in the second half of the year with the remaining costs for the Pershing acquisition and Sandstorm financing to be captured in the second quarter. Development of Relief Canyon is beginning as expected with construction activities ramping up on schedule.”

“It has been a landmark start to the year for MAG” commented George Paspalas, President and CEO. “The joint formal approval of the Juanicipio project is the culmination of what we as partners with Fresnillo have been working for some time now, and provides surety for our shareholders about our pathway to becoming a producer. I continue to emphasize however, that the exploration potential of the joint venture property remains very prospective, and the discovery of the NE oriented Venadas vein is the start of what we believe to be the next exciting opportunity to be unlocked at this remarkable property.”
