In the fourth quarter the operation saw its highest throughput to date with further opportunities still remaining to optimize the mill. These achievements along with the tremendous effort from our operations team have resulted in the operation catching-up on most of the shortfall from the first two quarters of 2015. In the new year, the operations team will continue to focus on further optimizing the El Roble mill, completing the ramp to the lowest levels of discovered mineralization and the second phase of the tailings facility.
