Trevali President and CEO, Dr. Mark Cruise, stated:

Despite a weak price environment for all commodities, the Santander unit performed strongly during the third quarter posting positive operational income on the back of concentrate sales revenue of $27 million. As anticipated the current short-term Zn and Pb pricing environment, which fails to reflect macro-supply fundamentals, has resulted in the announcement of major industry production cuts globally. This coupled with the near-term closure of major Tier-1 zinc mines by end of year (Lisheen & Century) and ongoing destocking of Zn and Pb warehouses should help reinforce the Company’s position, as the only primary zinc producer on the TSX, to benefit from any Zn (and Pb) price strengthening into 2016.
