"We continued to generate positive cash flow during Q2 despite another period of low silver prices," stated Brendan Cahill, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Our all-in sustaining costs continued to improve this quarter and, with improved silver prices and higher grade mineralization ahead, we expect to continue building our cash position through the rest of the year.
We are also encouraged by the ongoing strengthening of zinc and lead prices, which currently contribute approximately 40% of our revenue and ensure low per ounce production costs on a byproduct basis."
