Furthermore, the waste to ore ratio was consistent with the mine plan,
decreasing 41% from the first quarter.
J. Scott Drever, Chairman and CEO stated, "We are starting to mine the planned
higher ore grades from open pit so anticipate increased ounces produced in the
second half of 2013. Based on continually exceeding forecasted silver ounces
produced each month, we are increasing our annual silver production guidance
from 625,000 ounces to 675,000 ounces. We are maintaining our annual gold
production guidance of 33,000 ounces for 2013."
The Santa Elena Mine is a high-grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with
an estimated life of mine cash cost of US$8.00 per ounce of silver equivalent,
using a 55 to 1, silver to gold ratio.
Major expansion and construction of a 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill
facility is well underway with earthworks complete, concrete for major
foundations poured and CCD tank and thickener construction near completion.
Major equipment, including new cone crushers and generators, has been delivered
to the site. The company recently posted a number of pictures of the on-going
construction on its website (www.SilverCrestMines.com).
The company has completed all drilling required to define and expand the
Resources and Reserves and recently announced the revised numbers, and is
anticipating filing the Santa Elena Expansion Pre-Feasibility Study later this
month. Results from several additional drill holes have yet to be released,
which represent potential for further expansion of resources.
An underground definition drilling program, to delineate initial production
stopes, is scheduled for completion in the second half of the year, to assist in
the preparation for mining in 2014.
SilverCrest currently trades at $1.75, and with 108.6 million shares
outstanding, the company is capitalized at $190 million.
