VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 22, 2016) - Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the "Company") (SAM.TO) announces production results for the first quarter, ending July 31, 2016, at its San Martin Mine in Queretaro, Mexico.

During Q1, a total of 66,176 tonnes were milled at an average grade of 2.17 g/t gold and 16 g/t silver resulting in the production of 4,207 gold equivalent ounces. Mill recoveries averaged 86.46% for gold and 45.73% for silver. Equivalent gold ounce calculation is based on the average gold:silver ratio of 71.61 during the quarter.

"The discoveries of high grade zones announced earlier this year have helped smooth out production at San Martin."
