Jeffrey Reeder, CEO of Peruvian Metals, comments: "We are again pleased to achieve full operating capacity. With the cash flow being generated, the Company has significantly improved its cash position while reducing its liabilities. The Company is reviewing its 100% owned mineral concessions to either establish secure mineral feed for the plant or to sell/JV our properties to third parties."

Aguila Norte has an environmental permit ("IGAC") from the Peruvian government which provides the Plant with the ability to expand operations past the current 100 mt per day level. With the steady processing of third-party mineral, the Company is continuing to improve our balance sheet and continuing negotiations to purchase and secure long-term sources of mineral.
