"Obviously the second quarter for many industries, including the mining sector in Mexico, was negatively impacted by government mandated closures. We are glad most of these negative impacts are now behind us as our operations regain pre- COVID production rates," stated Keith Neumeyer , President and CEO. "Our decision to withhold a significant amount of silver and gold at quarter end proved to be the right decision. These inventoried ounces noticeably impacted revenues, costs, cash flows and earnings in the second quarter. However, the subsequent sale of these ounces will have a significant positive impact adding $25 million to our third quarter revenues. In addition, due to the multi-year highs in the silver price and record gold prices, the Company is reviewing opportunities to potentially restart some of our suspended mining operations."

"Revenues generated in the second quarter totaled $34.9 million compared to $ 83.7 million in the second quarter of 2019. Revenues in the quarter were impacted by the temporary suspension of operations throughout most of April and May in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the withheld metal sales in anticipation of realizing higher silver and gold prices in the second half of 2020. At quarter end, the Company had approximately 970,000 ounces of silver and 6,000 ounces of gold in finished goods inventory (of which approximately 2,400 ounces of gold were committed under streaming agreements) which were sold and will be recognized as revenue in the third quarter for $25.0 million."


Might actually be able to come up with a decent estimate of prices sold at based upon the $25.0 million referenced.
