Santacruz has again improved upon the previous quarter’s production performance at the Rosario Mine in Q3. During Q3 we successfully transitioned from third party contractor underground mining to an in-house mining operations team. This action was taken to both further reduce the cost structure at the Rosario Mine and to ensure more management control over the day to day mining operations. We are pleased to be now hitting our stride at the Rosario Mine and we anticipate further improvements both operationally and financially. This performance comes at a key time in the Company’s development and will allow us to continue our path forward.
