Dr. Craig Gibson, President and CEO, commented: “Trench sampling at Los Pavitos has shown that in some areas the narrow high grade quartz veins defined in surface sampling are hosted by wider mineralized structures. Wider zones of gold mineralization near the surface could be important for future development of the property. We are looking forward to exploring these mineralized zones by drilling, planned to commence shortly.”
Avino Silver & Gold Mines Ltd. achieved production results of 587,317 silver equivalent ounces, bringing the 12-month trailing total to 2.8 million silver equivalent ounces from the Avino Mine.
James Anderson, Chairman & CEO, said, “Over the last two and a half years, Guanajuato Silver has purchased four Mexican silver mines as part of a strategy to grow our business through acquisitions; we are confident in our ability to identify and acquire additional mining assets that would immediately prove accretive to our shareholders. We are therefore strengthening our balance sheet at a time when the challenging market environment has created what we believe are favorable conditions for the procurement of additional opportunities within Mexico’s mining community.”
“During the quarter, silver production from our Mexican operations improved as a result of higher processed tonnes and grades,” said Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO. “San Dimas and La Encantada have been steady producers in the first half of 2023 and Santa Elena is now well positioned for significant production growth in the second half of 2023 as we traverse back into a higher grade area of the Ermitaño mine.”

“We are very pleased with the results from phase 1 of 2023 drilling. The more we explore this property the more indications we find of a large, long lived magmatic-hydrothermal Au-Cu-Ag system with multiple overprinting events. This project is in its infancy and we are only beginning to realize what its potential might be.” – Michael Tucker – Director and Lead Geologist.
