The Company recorded revenue of $5.1 million from the sale of 348,991 silver equivalent ounces at a cash cost of $6.78 per silver equivalent ounce in the quarter. The Company continues to be a low cost operation with cash costs of $2.73 per silver ounce using gold as a bi-product credit.

Financial highlights for the quarter ending March 31, 2016:

• Revenue of $5.1 million from 348,991 equivalent ounces, a realized price of $14.57 per silver equivalent ounce
• Operating income of $0.5 million
• Cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash working capital of $1.5 million
• Cash cost per ounce of silver, net of gold by-product credits was $2.73

Revenue increased 69% in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter as a result of increased production as more material is under irrigation on the leach pad.  The increased revenue coupled with the low cash costs provided positive income from operations for the quarter.  The expansion was completed at the end of the quarter which doubled stacking capacity from 5,000 to 10,000 tonnes per day (tpd) which will continue to drive production and revenue growth in future quarters. In order to focus on the Parral and Santa Gertrudis projects, during the quarter management decided not to renew certain mining claims at the Company's San Diego exploration asset and has recorded a non-cash $20 million impairment.

Cautionary non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures
Note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to IFRS. The Company believes that investors use certain non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures as indicators to assess mining companies. They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. Non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Additional GAAP measures that are presented on the face of the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income include "Operating income (loss)". These measures are intended to provide an indication of the Company's mine and operating performance. "Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital" is a non-GAAP performance measure that could provide an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is calculated by adding back the change in non-cash working capital to "Net cash used in operating activities" as presented on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. "Operating costs per tonne stacked" is a non-GAAP performance measures that could provide an indication of the mining and processing efficiency and effectiveness of the mine. These measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the tonnes of ore processed in the period. "Cash costs per ounce" and "all-in sustaining costs per ounce" as used in this analysis are non-GAAP terms typically used by mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some variation in the method of computation of these metrics as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, "cash costs per ounce" reflects the cash operating costs allocated from in-process and dore inventory associated with ounces of gold sold in the period. "Cash costs per ounce" may vary from one period to another due to operating efficiencies, waste-to-ore ratios, grade of ore processed and gold recovery rates in the period. "All-in sustaining costs per ounce" include total cash costs, exploration, corporate and administrative, share based compensation and sustaining capital costs. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP measures, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis dated May 12, 2016, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, as filed on SEDAR.
