Robert Archer, president and CEO of Great Panther, commented:

Strong operating results translated into substantial increases in our operating margins and operating cash flow for 2015, despite continued declines in silver and gold prices. Production increased 30% as a result of the ramp-up of San Ignacio and improvements in grade control and operating efficiencies. These factors, combined with favourable foreign exchange rates, also resulted in significantly reduced cash cost and all-in sustaining cost. In addition, our strong operating cash flow enabled us to invest in strategic initiatives and fund advanced exploration projects while maintaining our strong cash and working capital balances.
