Ernesto Balarezo Valdez, CEO of Sierra Metals, commented, “The second quarter of 2023 delivered strong operating and financial performance. Our Bolivar mine had record copper equivalent production for the quarter and far exceeded our expectations on costs. Our other core operation, the Yauricocha mine, continued its positive trend of quarter-over-quarter production increases.”
The lender has provided the Company with a cash loan of USD $20,000.
“Production and per ounce costs are largely on plan for the first half of the year, placing the Company on track to meet its full year production and cost guidance targets set at the beginning of the year. We continue to ramp up the mill at Magino to steady-state and are expecting to achieve commercial production in the third quarter of this year. The plant has been running at or above nameplate throughput capacity when operating,” stated Marc Leduc, Chief Operating Officer of Argonaut Gold.
Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. is announcing that effective immediately, Carlos Silva Ramos, is stepping down from his role as CEO and Director of Santacruz, due to personal reasons.
Argonaut Gold Inc. is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Janet Yang to the Board of Directors of Argonaut Gold, effective August 10, 2023.
James Anderson, Chairman & CEO, said, “We are pleased to have worked with Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services firm with over 70 years of market experience, on this bought deal financing, which will help us execute our growth strategy as we continue to build Guanajuato Silver into Mexico’s next mid-tier silver producer.”
Mr. Ganoza continued, “Loss of production, stand-by charges and expenses related to the illegal union blockade at the San Jose Mine and standby charges during the repair of the Armtec tunnel at the Yaramoko Mine, both weighed on the results and AISC for the second quarter. Despite these headwinds the Company generated positive free cash flow from ongoing operations of $9.5 million.”
“Our Q2 2023 results show the significant enhancement in the scale and quality of our portfolio following the strategic acquisition of Yamana. Production is up 55% for silver and 102% for gold compared with the prior quarter, while the addition of three new low-cost producers provided tangible benefits to the Company’s cost structure.”
“With the bulk of the multi-year expansion at Rochester now behind us, we look forward to beginning to deliver strong production growth and lower costs from Nevada’s largest primary silver mine,” said Mitchell J. Krebs, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Arturo Préstamo, Executive Chairman of Santacruz, commented, “During the quarter the Company maintained steady production levels, despite a temporary interruption in plant feed haulage at the Mexican operation. This was offset by higher grade ore sourced by San Lucas. In the first half of the year, Santacruz has produced just over 11 million silver equivalent ounces.”
