“During the temporary suspension of the operations during the second quarter, the Mercedes team developed a solid re-start strategy with a more focused mine plan, including reduced mill through-put resulting in lower costs and positive cash flow”, stated Peter van Alphen, Chief Operating Officer of Premier. “With continued exploration success, our goal is to gradually increase mill through-put back to the plant capacity of 2,000 tons per day.”

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “We are at an exciting juncture for the exploration of the Tabasquena project. Past geophysical work has identified a big geophysical anomaly, approximately 3500 metres horizontal, and at the point where it dips vertically, there is another 500 metres and the anomaly remains open.”

Taj Singh, President and CEO, states: “When we acquired Cordero a year ago, we identified more than 5 km strike extent of historic underground workings on veins as a distinct exploration target that had the potential to impact the Project. Our initial holes targeting these vein trends show significant promise and we have now made the decision to present results from these veins separately from drill hole results targeting the bulk-tonnage resource. With four drill rigs now active on site, we are focused on both expanding the higher-grade bulk-tonnage core of the deposit and systematically assessing the extensive vein trends.”

Company crews have now entered the El Pinguico shaft and have safely accessed the #6 adit level. We believe that this is the first time that the #6 level has been accessed in this location since the mine was closed in 1913.

The high-grade silver zone outcrops as the ridge capping on top of the Mesa de Plata hill. It contains Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 15.5Moz silver in 1.8Mt @ 275g/t Ag within the overall Mesa de Plata Mineral Resource of 27.4Moz silver in 10.5Mt @ 82g/t Ag.
