until it goes into production, the company's guidance is more important than its financial results, and they can be summed up as follows:

pirquitas will begin production this month, san luis will have a feasibility study in the second quarter, pitarrilla will go to pre-feas in the second quarter, and diablillos will have a new resource estimate in the second quarter. that should give us a better idea of what those projects will produce on an annual basis.

in the category of "no news is good news" there were no further write-offs of the asset-backed commercial paper.
