Vancouver, British Columbia – Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX:SAM) ("Starcore" or the "Company") announces that with the financing in place as announced in its news release of November 17, 2015, the Altiplano Gold & Silver processing plant in Matehuala, Mexico is ready to accept concentrates for processing.
"The Altiplano Plant will be processing gold and silver concentrates in the next two weeks," said Robert Eadie, President and Chief Executive Officer of Starcore.
Located within a historic mining district in an area that is home to numerous medium-sized mining operations, the Altiplano Plant is designed to employ a cleaner and more economical treatment production process that will enable the facility to offer lower processing rates than those currently available to concentrate producers in the area. "We are confident Altiplano will ensure reasonable access to advanced processing for all local producers regardless of the size or scale of their operations," stated Mr. Eadie.
