“Production at Parral has increased for 6 consecutive quarters, as it continues to perform well. This quarter we also have the benefit of some copper by-product from the SART as it completed commissioning, which equates to 9,509 silver equivalent ounces.” said Brad Langille, President and CEO. “We anticipate the Parral heap leach will continue to produce residual metal from inventory and provide positive cash flow in the June quarter, while we operate in accordance with the Mexican federal government’s COVID-19 mandate and temporarily suspend non-essential services at Parral.”

Akiba Leisman, Chief Executive Officer of Mako states, “in a time of severe operational stress across our entire industry due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, being granted this additional concession demonstrates Mako’s commitment to Nicaragua for many years to come.”
Taj Singh, President and CEO, states: “These drill results are particularly positive for two reasons. First, they confirm that higher-grade breccia-hosted Ag-Au-Pb-Zn mineralization extends to the north-east beyond the previously defined limits of the Pozo de Plata zone. Second, drilling along the southernmost vein trend intercepted multiple sulfide veins that returned kilogram per tonne silver-equivalent intercepts. The first-ever drill test of veins highlights the excellent potential that may exist within this and other vein trends on the property. Follow-up drilling that targets expansion of higher-grade resources, is planned on both the north-east extension and the vein targets, as soon as exploration resumes at Cordero.”
