Great Panther Silver Reports Second Quarter Results
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/11/11 -- GREAT PANTHER SILVER LIMITED (TSX: GPR)(NYSE Amex: GPL) (the "Company") announces the financial results for the Company's quarter ended June 30, 2011. This is the first financial year where the Company has prepared its consolidated interim unaudited financial statements using International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The full version of the financial statements and management's discussion and analysis can be viewed on the Company's web site at or on SEDAR at .
"Following the strong financial performance we delivered in the first quarter, it is unfortunate that the delays in shipments of concentrate from our Guanajuato operation have impacted our revenue in the second quarter. However, we believe that the agreements we now have in place to secure future sales will remedy the situation and that the backlog of concentrate will be sold over the balance of the year at potentially higher metal prices," said Robert Archer, President & CEO. "We have a strong balance sheet, our operations are more profitable than ever, and we are moving ahead with all of our expansion plans as previously outlined."
2011 OUTLOOK
As we reach the mid-point of our three-year growth strategy (2010 - 2012), production from both operations continues to grow, plant capacities have been increased to meet the anticipated demand, mineral resources are being updated and increased, and exploration drilling is being increased.
The new NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimates for San Ignacio and Guanajuatito are being prepared for release later this year while the resources for other areas of Guanajuato will be updated as new drilling data is interpreted. The anticipated development of the San Ignacio Property combined with the improved mineral resources at Guanajuato and Topia support ongoing growth and increased throughput. Operating efficiencies will allow for further increases such that production upside will remain at both mines. The recent drop in ore grades at both operations is being addressed as the cost per ounce at both mines is sensitive to grade. The 2012 mine plans will be confirmed once the drill results for the current programs have been interpreted, and mineral resources are updated.
In response to delays in shipments of concentrate from our Guanajuato mine stemming from technical reasons with our metal trader's smelter, we have been working directly with the trader and other concentrate purchasers in order to sell the balance. Consequently, we have reached a new agreement, with another mine operator in Mexico, whereby they will start processing Guanajuato concentrates on a monthly basis. We expect that this new arrangement, together with the existing contract, will allow us to sell the concentrate inventory on hand at Guanajuato through the balance of 2011.
