Altiplano Production

During Q2, management determined that the capital requirements of the Altiplano facility for inventory and operations, despite improving cash flow to a small profit in the prior quarter, did not justify the continuation of these operations. The operations were placed on a maintenance status in the quarter and remaining inventories were processed and sold accordingly. Management is currently assessing the best use of the assets of Altiplano and is considering sale of the facility.

During Q2, Altiplano processed and sold the production from 229 tonnes of concentrate inventory consisting of 385 ounces of gold and 17,958 ounces of silver.
