Escobal Update; The Company’s efforts in Guatemala are focused on reaching a peaceful and expeditious conclusion to the road block at Casillas, which is approximately 16 kilometers away from the operations in San Rafael Las Flores. Upon resolution, the Company expects to resume production at Escobal within a week. On September 10, 2017, the Company reported that the Guatemalan Supreme Court issued a decision that reinstated the Escobal mining license. As part of its decision, the Supreme Court ordered MEM to conduct a consultation under ILO Convention 169 with the Xinca indigenous communities within certain departments or states within 12 months. The Company is now seeking clarification from the Supreme Court on the specific geographical areas to be included in MEM’s consultation process. CALAS has appealed the Supreme Court’s ruling to the Constitutional Court partly on the grounds that it discriminates against the Xinca. The Company understands that the Xinca Parliament has not appealed the Supreme Court’s decision. The Constitutional Court is expected to rule on all appeals by the end of the year. During the period in which the Company’s mining license was temporarily suspended, the Company’s annual export credential for the exportation of metals concentrate expired. The Company filed its request to renew the export credential with MEM in the ordinary course in June 2017. The renewal of the export credential became contingent on the Court’s reinstatement of the Escobal mining license. In addition to the clarification motion, therefore, the Company has petitioned the Supreme Court to order MEM to provide the routine administrative annual renewal of Escobal’s export credential.
