- Recorded impairment charge at Pirquitas: Non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge and write-downs of $42.2 million related to Pirquitas were recognized due to a decline in silver prices, including $7.7 million related to ore stockpiles within cost of sales and income from mine operations.
Paul Benson, president and CEO of Silver Standard, commented:
This was a solid quarter with both mines performing to plan in terms of production and cash costs. Importantly, we have set up the mines, particularly Marigold, for a strong fourth quarter and are well on track to achieve our guidance metrics at both. This, along with our strong balance sheet, with over$300 million in cash and marketable securities, and added liquidity through our revolving credit facility, enables us to pursue growth opportunities and continue creating shareholder value.
