Great Panther Silver Boosts Mineral Resource Estimate for Topia Mine

Great Panther Silver Ltd. (TSX:GPR,NYSEMKT:GPL) released an updated mineral resource estimate for its Mexico-based Topia silver-gold-lead-zinc mine.
Highlights include:

• Measured & Indicated (“M&I”) mineral resources increased by 41%, year over year, to 346,200 tonnes grading 624g/t silver, 1.31g/t gold, 4.50% lead and 4.19% zinc, containing 11.58 million silver equivalent ounces (“Ag eq oz”)
• Inferred mineral resources increased by 29%, year over year, to 357,400 tonnes grading 592g/t silver, 1.31g/t gold, 3.44% lead and 3.96% zinc, containing 11.05 million Ag eq oz

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

The significant increase in the Topia Mineral Resource Estimate reflects continual refinements and improvements in our resource model. The improved modeling, successful in-vein development and better reconciliation between the geological model and actual mine output resulted in an increase in estimated tonnage and contained ounces, in spite of a notable drop in the silver price.  In addition, our operations team continues to convert Inferred resources to M&I resources through underground development and sampling, underpinning the long mine life at Topia.
