The 250 tpd over several days is a significant step. If it can be stabilized at that rate then cash flow should double. And, they expect further improvements to be possible or even probable. When the mill was running at approximately half of the current 250 tpd, cash from operations were greater than the entire Mexican operational costs.

From previous release in April.

Neither optimal projected tonnes of throughput nor optimal recovery have been obtained as of the April 16, 2011. However, cash from operations during this period are greater than the entire Mexican operational costs. Over the course of the next quarter we expect to significantly increase both tonnes processed per day as well as increasing recovery rates which should result in significant increase cash flows with the objective of declaring of commercial production.

The mill has tested as high as 250 tpd but is presently running at approximately half that rate as the company continues to evaluate the latest production success. As stated above, the company will be ramping up the throughput rate in a progressive manner to optimize the milling operations and continuing to focus on recovery rates which still have significant room for improvement. The company will make every effort to keep shareholders apprised of developments and remains focused on a successful announcement of commercial production.
