"We are extremely pleased with the improved operating performance and record financial results for the second quarter." stated Tom Parker, President and CEO. "The combination of solid production, record sales volumes and continued high silver prices has provided the Company with record revenues and cash flows and an increasingly strengthened balance sheet. Our cost of mining increased this quarter as a result of significantly higher sales volumes and increased profit sharing payments but we also undertook higher than normal infrastructure repairs that had been deferred in a cash conservation environment in previous periods. Recent operating and financial results have continued to strengthen the Company to fund capital projects that expand our operations and advance exploration programs on our dominant land package in the prolific Silver Valley".
