“Santander delivered yet another strong quarter with record mill throughput and site cash costs remaining in line with the recent recently reduced 2016 cost guidance. Santander remains one of the lowest-cost, most efficient operating mines in the Central Mineral Belt of Peru. Additionally, stronger zinc prices in Q2, versus Q1, benefitted the Company’s operations and we’re also seeing a significantly stronger metal price environment so far in Q3 with zinc prices touching 15-month highs,” stated Dr. Mark Cruise, Trevali’s President and CEO. “Trevali also recently announced Commercial Production at its Caribou Zinc Mine in New Brunswick where similar optimization initiatives are being applied to boost the efficiencies at the operation. As zinc fundamentals continue to look increasingly bullish, Trevali remains well positioned as the only primary zinc producer on the TSX and one of only a few globally.”
