*year to date average
Silver equivalent for January and February were calculated using a 55:1 ratio for silver to gold. For the months of October, November and December, a 50:1 ratio was used in the calculation. (The ratio was changed to reflect more current gold and silver prices.) Mill production figures have not been reconciled and are subject to adjustment with concentrate sales. Year-to-date and calculated figures may not add up due to rounding.
February Highlights
Grade of concentrate produced was higher in February than January resulting in fewer tonnes of concentrate.
Silver and gold production decreased slightly compared to January due to lower silver and gold feed grades and gold recovery.
Tonnes processed were essentially the same as in January.
A scheduled down day was deferred until March, resulting in 28 operating days for February.
Silver recovery was similar to January but the gold recovery was 4% lower. The lower recovery could be the result of producing a higher grade concentrate (higher concentrate grades typically result in lower recoveries)
During the month, 10 truckloads of concentrate weighing 337.435 dry tonnes were shipped and sold.
