As quoted in the press release:

“In the first quarter of 2017 we generated $22 million of operating cash flow despite challenging operating conditions at Pinto Valley,” said Darren Pylot, President and CEO of Capstone. “All three of our mines generated positive net earnings for the quarter, supported by higher realized metal prices.”
“We also recently announced a two year extension of our credit facility, to 2021, giving Capstone significant financial flexibility to meet our current and anticipated operating requirements,” continued Mr. Pylot. “In addition, at current copper prices, we anticipate the continuation of operations at Minto until mid-2020 with a potential mine life extension beyond 2020.”
