SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Confirms Underground High Grades at Santa Elena; 13m @ 2.54 gpt Au and 307.0 gpt Ag; Including 0.7m @ 18.25 gpt Au and 2,900 gpt Ag

Mining Stocks News: SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Confirms Underground High Grades at Santa Elena; 13m @ 2.54 gpt Au and 307.0 gpt Ag; Including 0.7m @ 18.25 gpt Au and 2,900 gpt Ag

Vancouver, BC - September 4, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX:SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) is pleased to announce results of underground infill drilling completed in July, 2014 at its 100% owned Santa Elena Mine in Sonora, Mexico. Twenty five closely-spaced underground drill holes, totaling 2,856 metres were completed to better define reserves and verify widths and grades for planned production stopes (see table below and attached figure: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/966248.pdf). The results of all holes included in this news release will be part of the resource update scheduled to be completed by early 2015.

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng., President & COO stated; "This underground drill program was successful in confirming previous resource model expectations with delineation of high grade zones in the initial stopes scheduled for production in 2014 and 2015. Valuable information was also provided from the program to better define reserves and first stope mine designs. This detailed in-fill information continues to improve our model and enhances tonnage and grade projections for production planning and budgeting."

The drill program, with estimated 20 metre centres, assisted in stope design and reserve estimation. The results showed comparable widths and grades when reconciled with previous wider-spaced drilling in this area. The most significant assay results from this underground infill drilling program are shown in the following table. Intervals are considered to be near true thickness.

All sample analyses were completed by Inspectorate Labs of Reno, Nevada. Core holes SEUG-14-01 and SEUG-14-18 were abandoned before intersecting mineralization due to deviations or caving.

Underground Development

As of August 31, 2014, approximately 3,835 meters of underground lateral development including ramp access, 1,550 metres of ore development on 6 levels, and 260 metres of raise development had been completed by an independent contractor. Underground exposure of the Santa Elena Main Mineralized Zone has provided opportunities for detailed mapping and sampling to assist with modeling and detailed planned mine production.

The initial production stope is currently being drilled with delivery of ore to the mill expected to commence once the cycle of drilling and blasting is completed and sufficient broken ore is available for extraction. Further details on the commencement of production stoping will be provided as the operations progress. Approximately 17,100 tonnes of higher grade development ore (grading 1.14 gpt Au and 87.46 gpt Ag) were processed in August along with ore from the leach pad.

The Qualified Person under NI 43-101 for this News Release is N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, President and Chief Operating Officer for SilverCrest Mines Inc., who has reviewed and approved its contents.

SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Reports Q2 2014 Financial Results

Mining Stocks News: SilverCrest (TSX: SVL) (NYSE MKT: SVLC) Reports Q2 2014 Financial Results

Cash Flow from Operations of $3.1 million, Net Earnings of $1.3 million

VANCOUVER, BC - August 13, 2014 – (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) SilverCrest Mines Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX:SVL) ( NYSE MKT: SVLC) is pleased to announce its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS and all dollar amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. The information in this news release should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and associated management discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) which are available from the Company's website at www.silvercrestmines.com and under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

N. Eric Fier, President and COO, stated; “As expected, SilverCrest’s second quarter financial results reflect Santa Elena’s lower production numbers during the transition from an open pit, heap leach operation to an underground mine and milling circuit. With the major milestone of mill commissioning accomplished in early August, SilverCrest’s immediate focus turns to underground stope production. Expected increases in ore grades fed to the mill, combined with potential higher metal recoveries, should result in the Company achieving the lower end of our 2014 production guidance of approximately 3.3 million AgEq⁽²⁾ ounces. With all major expansion capital expenditures complete, SilverCrest is now well situated to increase its cash position of $40.9 million (June 30, 2014) with near-term free cash flow from operation.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OF Q2, 2014, Compared to Q2, 2013:

·        Cash flow from operations ⁽¹⁾ decreased 45% to $3.1 million ($0.03 per share).   

·        Cash operating cost per silver equivalent ounce sold ⁽²⁾ decreased 2% to $7.66.

·        All-in sustaining cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold ⁽²⁾ decreased 5% to $12.62.

·        Revenue decreased 41% to $7.7 million.

·        Metal sales of 163,026 ounces of silver and 4,743 ounces of gold decreased 10% and 36%, respectively.

·        Realized spot metal prices declined from $22 to $20 (9%) for silver and from $1,365 to $1,296 (5%) for gold. 

·        Net earnings were $1.3 million ($0.01 per share), compared to $2.9 million ($0.03 per share).

·        Cash and cash equivalents were $40.9 million (at June 30, 2014), compared to $29.6 million (at June 30, 2013).

·        Working capital was $44.5 million (at June 30, 2014), compared to $41.6 million (at June 30, 2013).

·        Bullion inventory at June 30, 2014, included 69,000 ounces of silver and 1,330 ounces of gold.

 

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2014, to June 30, 2013

Net earnings were $1,314,350 ($0.01 per share basic) for the second quarter compared with $2,866,080 ($0.03 per share basic) in 2013. The decrease in net earnings during the second quarter was primarily attributed to reduced revenues from lower silver and gold sales at lower realized prices. The decrease in silver and gold production was primarily related to the closure of the open pit on April 4, 2014, three months ahead of schedule, with subsequent reduced production from the leach pad.

Silver and gold revenue totaled $7,719,057 (2013 - $13,028,258) in the second quarter. Silver sales totaled 163,026 ounces including capitalized underground ounces (2013 - 181,398), 10% lower than for the same period in 2013. The foregoing, combined with a 9% lower average realized silver price of $20 (2013 - $22) per ounce, resulted in 18% lower silver revenue. Total gold revenue reported in the second quarter decreased 40% compared to the same period in 2013. Total gold sales were 4,743 ounces including capitalized underground ounces (2013 - 7,375), or 36% below 2013. The Company sold 3,794 (2013 - 5,900) ounces of gold at an average realized gold price of $1,296 (2013 - $1,365) per ounce, a 5% decline. The Company delivered 949 gold ounces (2013 - 1,475) under the Sandstorm Purchase Agreement at $350 per ounce.   

Cost of sales amounted to $3,046,958 (2013 - $5,047,895). Cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold for the second quarter was $7.66, Ag:Au 60.0:1 (2013 - $7.80, Ag:Au 63.2:1). The decrease in operating cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold was driven by the reduction in direct production costs during the second quarter as a result of the closure of the open pit and elimination of open pit mining costs.

⁽¹⁾ Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital items.

⁽²⁾ These are Non-IFRS performance measures. Refer to “CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING NON-IFRS PERFORMANCE MEASURES”. Silver equivalent (“AgEq”) ounces consist of the number of ounces of silver production/sold plus the number of ounces of gold production/sold multiplied by a 60:1 gold price to silver price ratio. Prior to Q1 2014, the AgEq ratio was based on the spot gold price to the spot silver price at the quarter end dates for financial reporting. All numbers are rounded.

2014 PRODUCTION GUIDANCE UPDATE

Management now anticipates total production from Santa Elena in 2014 to be at the low end of our original guidance (3.3 to 3.6 million AgEq ounces). Underground stope production, due to start in August, will increase through-put grades to the new mill and therefore higher levels of gold and silver ounces for the rest of the year. As anticipated, production is heavily weighted for H2 2014 to achieve guidance. 

OUTLOOK

SilverCrest’s immediate focus is to (i) continue the efficient operation of its flagship Santa Elena low cost silver and gold mine, (ii) complete initial underground stope production, (iii) expand resources and subsequent reserves at Santa Elena by systematic exploration of the deposit, (iv) evaluate and acquire exploration properties in proximity to Santa Elena and drill test some targets in 2014, (v) complete evaluation of certain aspects  of the La Joya Project to a Pre Feasibility Study level in 2014.

Q2 FINANCIALS CONFERENCE CALL

A conference call to discuss the results for the unaudited Q2 2014 financials will be held on Thursday, August 14^th. The call will be held at 10am PDT (1pm EDT). To participate in the conference call, please dial the following:

We will continue to adjust and optimize all the components of the facilities in efforts to achieve through-put tonnages at or above the nameplate capacity of 3,000 tpd. Our near term focus now turns to achieving further milestones, including underground stope production in August and free cash flow in Q3, 2014."

In determining commissioning completion, management considered the following criteria;

·        Achieving greater than 80% of nameplate capacity (3,000 tpd) over a reasonable period of continuous production.

·        Achieving average startup recovery rates of 82% gold and 65% silver. Average mine life recovery rates are projected at 92% gold and 67.5% silver.

·        Dore production from the new mill exceeding budget estimates.

·        All major components of the mill and facilities completed and operating to the satisfaction of management and independent commissioning team.

·        Completion of budgeted capital expenditures.

·        Achieving positive operating cash flows from expanded operations including mill.

For 30 continuous days through to early August, 2014, the mill through-put ranged from 1,485 to 3,144 tpd and achieved an average of 2,524 tpd or 84% of the 3,000 tpd nameplate capacity. In July, 1,516 ounces of gold and 81,818 ounces of silver (excluding residual leached ounces from pad production) were produced and which exceeded budgeted production of 1,255 ounces of gold and 74,325 ounces of silver. Startup recoveries of gold and silver in July were 82% and 65%, respectively, compared to budgeted start up recoveries of 83% and 62%. All of the above commissioning criteria have been met to the satisfaction of management.

As planned, the mill feed during the commissioning period came from the leach pad reserve (pad ore). Blending of higher grade underground ore is expected to commence during Q3, 2014. Approximately, 69,000 tonnes of pad ore that was milled in July graded 0.84 gpt Au and 56.80 gpt Ag, which are approximately 33% higher for gold and 58% higher for silver than budgeted grades of 0.63 gpt Au and 36.0 gpt Ag.

Underground stope production is the next milestone in the transition plan at Santa Elena. Production from the first underground stope is planned for August. This initial stope will be mined using standard long hole stoping methods. As of July 31, a pproximately 32,225 tonnes of underground development ore have been stockpiled for mill processing in Q3, 2014. The average stockpile grade is 1.63 gpt Au and 118.91 gpt Ag, which is consistent with current reserve models.

SilverCrest Mines Inc. (NYSE MKT: SVLC; TSX: SVL) is a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Vancouver, BC. SilverCrest’s flagship property is the 100%‐owned Santa Elena Mine, located 150 km northeast of Hermosillo, near Banamichi in the State of Sonora, México. The mine is a high‐grade, epithermal silver and gold producer, with an estimated life of mine of 8 years and average operating cash costs of $11 per ounce of silver equivalent (55:1 Ag:Au). SilverCrest anticipates that the new 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility at the Santa Elena Mine should recover 1.5 million ounces of silver and 32,800 ounces of gold per annum over the current reserve life. Major expansion and commissioning of the 3,000 tonnes per day conventional mill facility is complete and is expected to significantly increase metals production at the Santa Elena Mine in 2014 and beyond. Exploration programs continue to make new discoveries at Santa Elena and also have rapidly advanced the definition of a large polymetallic deposit at the La Joya property in Durango State, Mexico.

TSX Mining Stocks: Garibaldi (TSXV:GGI, OTC:GGIFF, Frankfurt:RQM) advances Silver Eagle target at Rodadero

VANCOUVER - June 19, 2014 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) Further to its news release of May 14, 2014, Garibaldi Resources Corp. (the "Company" or "Garibaldi") is pleased to provide this progress report as drilling continues at the Silver Eagle target, Rodadero North in central Sonora State, Mexico. A fourth hole is now under way to test the geometry and dimensions of a promising high-grade, near-surface structure. Pending additional assay results are eagerly anticipated and will be released as they become available.

Following the discovery of a 7-meter section grading 2,010 g/t Ag (65 oz/ton) in hole SE-14-01, and after encountering exceptionally hard mineralized sulphide bearing quartz rock in SE-14-02 (collared 50 meters to the south), Garibaldi contracted a commercial diamond drill rig to complete the second hole. The larger rig using HQ core is successfully penetrating the rock within the target zone at Silver Eagle and is also providing better core recovery than the company-owned diamond drill.
Mineralization at Silver Eagle consists of an apparently flat-lying silicified zone or cap of brecciated rock exposed on a hill. Mineralized structures cross this silicified zone and may form a tabular root or feeder zone to the silicification.
The Silver Eagle target is one of eight prospects defined at Rodadero North along a 10-km NW-SE trend. Garibaldi's regional exploration efforts at Rodadero featured the use of hyperspectral remote sensing technology followed by a ground program of mapping and sampling which produced highly encouraging results.
Surface sampling results from Silver Eagle, the first target to be drilled at Rodadero, ranged from anomalous to 1,840 g/t Ag. Of 171 chip samples taken in the area of the silicified cap, 44 (26%) contained 100 g/t or more Ag and 23 (13%) contained more than 300 g/t Ag. Assay results from SE-14-01 drill core demonstrated even higher grades within 30 meters from surface.
A link to drill core photos from Silver Eagle can be found on the Garibaldi homepage at www.GaribaldiResources.com.
