The
Pirquitas mine produced 1.7 million ounces of silver during the first
quarter of 2011 compared with 2.1 million ounces in the fourth quarter
of 2010 and 0.6 million ounces of silver in the first quarter of 2010.
Production levels significantly exceeded the first quarter of 2010 due
to the ramping up of production throughout 2010 to design levels. In the
first quarter of 2011, commissioning of a tertiary crushing circuit and
the implementation of crushing circuit de-bottlenecking initiatives
increased capacity to greater than 5,000 tonnes per day. These
activities lead to planned plant downtime and, therefore, lower silver
production compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.During the
first quarter of 2011, 307,745 tonnes of ore were processed at an
average milling rate of 3,419 tonnes per day, compared to 313,051 tonnes
at an average of 3,440 tonnes per day achieved in the fourth quarter of
2010 and 276,375 tonnes at an average milling rate of 3,070 tonnes per
day in the first quarter of 2010.The Pirquitas mine has been
processing sulphide ores since the third quarter of 2010. The
metallurgical response to the sulphide ore has been in line with
expectations and overall silver recovery rates are approaching
feasibility study expectations. The ore contained silver head grades of
233 grams per tonne and achieved recoveries of 74%, compared to silver
head grades of 267 grams per tonne and achieved recoveries of 76% in the
fourth quarter of 2010 and the transitional ore which contained silver
head grades of 129 grams per tonne and achieved recoveries of 53% in the
first quarter of 2010. Silver grades were lower in the first quarter
2011 compared with the fourth quarter 2010 due to abnormal rainfall that
prevented accessing areas of the pit outlined for mining. Silver
recovery was down slightly in the first quarter 2011 due to lower silver
grade and decreased throughput.The zinc flotation circuit was
re-commissioned during the fourth quarter of 2010, and as a result
separate silver and zinc concentrates are now being produced, with the
first sales of zinc concentrate occurring in January 2011. Zinc
production totaled 3.2 million pounds in the first quarter of 2011 and
was higher than forecast due to better than expected metallurgical
performance. Zinc sales totaled 4.5 million pounds, including zinc
inventory produced in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the first quarter
of 2011.Test work of the tin circuit is underway at a number of
laboratories globally, with the objective to improve the tin recovery
while maintaining a good final concentrate tin grade. Preliminary
results of this test work are expected later in 2011.Cash
production costs in the first quarter were $10.93 per ounce compared to
$9.47 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $29.32 per ounce in
the first quarter of 2010. This was driven by lower silver production in
2011 compared to the fourth quarter of 2010, but significantly higher
production than the first quarter of 2010. Cash operating costs, which
include treatment and refining costs, royalties and production taxes,
were $23.23 per ounce compared to $16.07 per ounce in the fourth quarter
of 2010 and $36.61 per ounce in the first quarter of 2010. The
increased costs are a function of the higher sales price in the first
quarter of 2011 resulting in increased third party charges. These costs
include treatment and refining charges which are recorded for the actual
ounces sold during the quarter, consequently on a per ounce basis, the
variability from quarter to quarter is partially due to the difference
between production and sale volumes.

Total production costs, including depreciation and amortization, were $27.52 per ounce in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $18.82 in the fourth quarter of 2010 and $47.69 in the first quarter of 2010.

The high depreciation per unit in the first quarter of 2010 is again representative of the units produced in the period because depletion and depreciation is largely a fixed cost.Financial ResultsOur financial results are now
reported under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and
the 2010 comparative results have been restated to IFRS in the current
period financial statements.

Refer to Note 2 in the unaudited March 31, 2011, financial statements for a detailed description of our accounting policies under IFRS and Note 25 for disclosures and reconciliation of the impact of IFRS on previously reported results.

Mine OperationsDuring the first quarter 2011 the Company recorded revenues from the Pirquitas mine of $60.1 million from the sale of 2.1 million ounces of silver with a realized price of $31.10 per ounce. This is compared with the
first quarter of 2010 which recorded revenues of $11.5 million from the
sale of 0.9 million ounces of silver with a realized price of $17.43 per
ounce.

Cost of sales for the first quarter 2011 was $32.2 million
compared to $28.1 million in the first quarter of 2010, which resulted
in earnings from mine operations of $27.9 million in the first quarter
of 2011 compared to a loss of $16.6 million in the first quarter of
2010.Net EarningsNet earnings for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, were $9.9 million ($0.12 per share) compared to a net
loss of $3.4 million ($0.04 per share) in the first quarter of 2010.
LiquidityAt March 31, 2011, the Company held $260.7 million (December 31, 2010 - $232.3 million) in cash and cash equivalents and $33.0 million (December 31, 2010 - $33.5 million) in marketable securities.

financial performance measures contained in the Management Discussion and
Analysis ("MD&A") for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and year end

Mine Production

The Pirquitas mine produced 1.6 million ounces of silver during the third quarter of 2011 compared with 1.9 million ounces in the third quarter of 2010. The lower production in the current quarter, as compared to the second quarter of 2011, resulted from a 17-day ball mill shutdown in July 2011 and a further 7-day shutdown in September 2011 to refurbish the gearbox. In the period between these two shutdowns the plant was achieving design rates with daily average production of 26,000 ounces and recovery rates of 83%. The gearbox has been completely rebuilt with new parts and recommenced operating in early-November. This rebuild put the gearbox in near-new condition. Shipping of a replacement gearbox from Europe is also scheduled for November with arrival on site in January 2012.

The Company revised its production guidance to produce between 7.3 and 7.6 million ounces of silver in 2011 as a result of the three performance issues with the ball mill gearbox. Unanticipated plant downtime in October and November after the revised guidance was issued on September 24, 2011, means achieving the low end of production guidance will be a successful outcome in the Company's view.

During the third quarter 245,127 tonnes of ore were processed at an average milling rate of 2,664 tonnes per day, compared to 295,004 tonnes at an average of 3,241 tonnes per day achieved in the second quarter of 2011 and 320,174 tonnes at an average milling rate of 3,480 tonnes per day in the third quarter of 2010. However, the average milling rate in the third quarter of 2011 per operating day was in excess of 3,600 tonnes per day.

The ore milled during the third quarter of 2011 contained average silver grade of 250 g/t and achieved average silver recovery of 83%, compared to a silver grade of 283 g/t and recovery of 66% in the third quarter of 2010. The strong silver recovery achieved during the third quarter of 2011 was due principally to consistent feed and continuous improvements to the crushing and flotation circuits.

The mine produced a total of 3.3 million pounds of zinc in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 2.8 million pounds in the second quarter of 2011.

Mine Operating Costs

Direct mining cost in the third quarter was $16.20 per ounce silver compared to $10.43 per ounce in the third quarter of 2010. Operating costs were higher in the third quarter as a result of additional repairs and maintenance costs associated with the refurbishment of the ball mill gearbox, and additional maintenance costs and external costs associated with the import restrictions that affected the ability to obtain quality spare parts.Operations were also impacted by import restrictions which were imposed by the Argentine government on all industries.

Total cash cost, which includes by-product credits, treatment and refining costs, royalties and production taxes, was $20.60 per ounce silver compared to $16.95 per ounce in the third quarter of 2010. Treatment and refining costs, as well as royalties and production taxes are all a function of sales prices and are recorded for the actual ounces sold during the quarter. The incremental per ounce impact of these costs in the third quarter of 2011 compared with the third quarter of 2010 is due to lower sales in the current quarter. Higher prices achieved on sales in the current quarter partially offset the volume impact compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Total production cost, which includes depreciation and amortization, was $24.55 per ounce in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $19.89 in the third quarter of 2010. The depreciation and amortization costs are largely fixed, and are higher on a per ounce basis in the current quarter due to lower production volumes.

Pirquitas Mineral Resources and Reserve Estimates

As part of the Company's ongoing production-reserve reconciliation and mine planning, and to delineate the deposit in greater detail for the mine's mineral resources and reserve estimates, the Company undertook a comprehensive drilling campaign between the fourth quarter of 2010 and September, 2011. Assay results from these drill-holes have been utilized by the Company's Qualified Persons (QPs) to complete advanced modeling of the deposit's current mineral resources and reserve. Model validation included detailed reconciliation with grade control and mine production data. The outcome of this modeling work is shown below in Tables 2 and 3.

Notes to Table 2:

1. Dr. Warwick Board, Ph.D. (Geology), P.Geo., is the Qualified Person (QP)
for the reported mineral resource estimate.
2. All mineral resources have been classified in accordance with current
CIM definition standards.
3. The reported measured and indicated resources represent resources
estimated to exist below the as-mined surface as of September 30, 2011.
4. The multiple-indicator kriging (MIK) modeling methodology was employed
for estimates of the Measured and Indicated Resources, whereas ordinary
kriging was used to estimate the Cortaderas Breccia Resource and single-
indicator kriging was utilized for the Cortaderas Valley Inferred
Resource.
5. A silver cut-off grade of 50 g/t Ag was used for all of the reported
resource estimates.
6. A capping grade of 1,600 g/t Ag was utilized for the Cortaderas Breccia
mineral resource estimate, while capping grades of 235 g/t Ag and 10% Zn
were used for the Cortaderas Valley mineral resource estimate. Due to
the nature of the MIK modeling technique, no grade capping was required
for the Measured and Indicated resource estimates for the mine.
7. Detailed bulk density modeling, taking into account voids created by
historical underground mining and differential rock densities, resulted
in an average bulk density value of 2.60 tonnes per cubic meter for the
resource estimates.
8. Sums may not equal reported totals due to rounding.


Dr. Warwick Board, Ph.D. (Geology), P. Geo., the QP who completed the mineral resource estimates reported here has been employed by the Company as Senior Resource Geologist since August 2009, and before joining the Company was Principal Consultant with Snowden Mining Industry Consultants. The NI 43-101 Technical Report supporting these resource estimates will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days from the release date of this document.

Notes to Table 3:

1. R. Bruce Kennedy, BS (Mining Engineering), P. E. is the Qualified Person
for the reported mineral reserve estimate.
2. Trevor Yeomans, B.Sc. (Mineral Processing), P. Eng., is the Qualified
Person who provided metallurgical parameters that were incorporated in
the reserve estimates.
3. All mineral reserves have been classified in accordance with current CIM
definition standards.
4. Reported mineral reserves were estimated using the Measured and
Indicated resources shown in Table 2, excluding 1.2 Mt Indicated
resource estimated for the Oploca Vein to contain approximately 8.2 Moz.
silver. The estimated Oploca mineral resource lies just beyond the
southern limits of the current pit design.
5. Metal prices used in reserve estimates are $25.00 per ounce of silver
and $2,403 per tonne of zinc.
6. Mining costs are as per 2011 actual costs, with estimated productivity
changes incorporated.
7. Mill and general administrative costs were estimated on the basis of
2011 actual costs, incorporating projections to full and stable
production.
8. The mineral reserve is quoted within a pit design that utilizes
geotechnical parameters proven from actual performance. The design was
created using a geometry guideline from a Lerche-Grossman algorithm that
maximizes the reserve cash flow.
9. Average open-pit strip ratio of 4.89:1 total:ore was used.
10. The cut-off grade was developed on a net smelter return (NSR) basis that
uses a total operating cost of $35.52 per tonne of ore.
11. Metallurgical recovery formulas were applied for silver and zinc
concentrates that reflect increasing recovery with increasing head
grade. Average metallurgical recovery for silver is 79.8 percent, and
for zinc 42.9 percent.


R. Bruce Kennedy, BS (Mining Engineering), P.E., the QP who has approved the estimated mineral reserve reported here, is the General Manager of the Pirquitas Mine, having joined the Company in March 2011. Mr. Kennedy has extensive mine management experience and prior to joining the Company was a senior mining consultant with SRK Consulting. A NI 43-101 Technical Report supporting the tabulated reserve estimates will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days from the date of this news release.

Significant factors affecting the new mineral resource and reserve estimates include the following:


-- the determination that silver mineralization which exists between high-
grade veins in the upper parts of the deposit becomes less prevalent and
of uneconomic grade in the lower parts of the deposit;
-- increases in operating cost per tonne of ore from $22.00 to $35.52,
which include additional waste mining costs, general and country-
specific inflation over three years and some incremental tailing storage
costs.
-- depletion of 18.6 million ounces of silver since the start of production
in 2009 until September 30, 2011;understanding of processing and cost of
production following mining through the pit to the sulphide ore which
commenced in Q3 2010; and
-- the decision to exclude at this time cost credits from the production of
tin until an economically viable processing method has been designed and
tested.


The 2008 mineral resources estimate and the 2011 mineral resources estimate have been reported on different bases. The former was reported on a silver-equivalent basis, including the economic benefit of tin. This mineral reserve estimate totaled 195.1 million ounces of silver and 550 million pounds of zinc contained, as stated in a NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated September 29, 2008, and filed on SEDAR. The 2011 mineral resources estimate uses a 50 g/t silver-only cut-off.The 2010 and 2011 drilling has enabled improvement in the Company's interpretation of geological controls on the mineralization. The 2011 mineral resources model has been validated through reconciliation of grade control and mine production data.

The Company is focused on opportunities for cost reduction, pursuing the option of dry-stacking of tailings and is investigating processes for tin recovery which together are expected to bring resources back into reserves. Extensive 'brownfield' exploration is also being conducted on the property with encouraging results to date. In 2011, the Company's exploration team identified two significant silver and zinc-bearing breccia bodies, one that is currently being mined from the open-pit and another that is located approximately 200 meters north of the pit in a resource area referred to as Cortaderas (see Table 2).

The Company's exploration efforts will continue in the pursuit of delineating new mineral resources and reserve on the Pirquitas property. Metallurgical engineering work will also continue on the development and implementation of a process to recover the significant tin mineralization found in the Pirquitas ore.

Notwithstanding, the Company estimates that the noted changes to the mine's mineral resources and reserve estimate, from 2012 onwards Pirquitas will continue operating for 6.5 years as an 8-10 million ounces per annum silver producer, with a further 2.5 years of production of approximately 3 million ounces of silver per annum coming from stockpiles. This mine life estimate is based on $25.00 per ounce silver and $2,403 per tonne of zinc and could be extended assuming the continuation of current market prices of approximately $35 per ounce silver.

Exploration Drilling Program

In addition to the comprehensive in-fill drilling program that was completed in 2011 in the area of the San Miguel open-pit, the Company diamond drilled 1,837 meters at an exploration target located just 200 meters north of the pit in the Cortaderas Valley. The main target at Cortaderas consists of a steeply plunging breccia body where the breccia matrix is composed of silver-bearing iron and zinc sulphide mineralization. To date, nine relatively closely spaced drill-holes have intersected the mineralized breccia body. The results from this drilling are encouraging, with intercepts from a select number of the boreholes being highlighted below in Table 4. Based on the drilling completed to date, Dr. Warwick Board,the Company's Senior Resource Geologist and QP,has estimated an Inferred resource for the breccia of 2.0 million tonnes averaging 152 g/t silver and 5.4% zinc, for approximately 9.9 million ounces of contained silver, at a 50 g/t silver cut-off grade. Sulphide-rich, vein-hosted mineralization has been intersected by drill-holes in the vicinity of the above mentioned breccia body and is estimated to contain an additional 12.6 million ounces of silver in the Inferred resource category (refer to Table 2 for details).

Financial Results

Our financial results are now reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the 2010 comparative results have been restated to IFRS in the current period financial statements. Refer to Note 2 in the unaudited September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 financial statements for a detailed description of our accounting policies under IFRS and for disclosures and reconciliation of the impact of IFRS on previously reported results. See Notes 17 and 25 in the Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

Mine Operations

During the third quarter 2011 the Company recorded total revenues from the Pirquitas mine of $26.2 million from the sale of 0.7 million ounces of silver at a realized price of $39.88 per ounce, and 3.9 million pounds of zinc at a realized price of $1.01 per pound excluding the impact of quarter end price adjustment. This is compared with the third quarter of 2010 which recorded revenues of $41.6 million from the sale of 2.3 million ounces of silver at a realized price of $19.43, and no zinc sales. The reduction in sales recognized is reflective of the volume of silver ounces sold, partially offset by the significant increase in the price of silver. Zinc pounds sold in the third quarter of 2011 contributed $2.8 million to total revenues.

Since the mine's initial start-up silver concentrates have been sold pursuant to a sales contract to a single customer. The contract was terminated during the third quarter 2011 and as a result volumes of silver concentrate sold were significantly lower than prior quarters. Zinc concentrate sales were unaffected. Subsequent to the quarter individual spot sales have been completed, and the Company is continuing negotiations to establish long-term contracts with various counterparties.

Cost of sales for the third quarter 2011 was $14.7 million compared to $34.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. This resulted in income from mine operations of $11.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2010. The reduction in cost of sales is primarily due to the volume of product sold. Margins improved significantly, primarily as a result of higher silver prices.

On October 26, 2011 the Argentina government announced a decree that requires all funds from export sales to be repatriated to Argentina and converted into Argentina Pesos within the Sole Foreign Exchange Market in Argentina, and each transfer is subject to a 0.6% transfer tax. Although the fiscal stability agreement also includes stability over foreign exchange controls the government has removed such benefits. The Company will comply with all laws and regulations, and is in the process of determining what impact this has on the business.

Net Earnings

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $21.8 million ($0.27 per share) compared to a net loss of $10.4 million ($0.13 per share) in the third quarter of 2010.

Liquidity

At September 30, 2011, the Company held $355.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $36.4 million in marketable securities compared to $232.3 million and $33.5 million respectively at December 31, 2010. The increase in cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was the result of cash inflows from operations of $12.9 million, $19.2 million generated from financing activities, and $91.5 million from investing activities.

Principal Projects

Pitarrilla, Mexico

A total of $2.7 million was spent during the quarter at the wholly-owned Pitarrilla project located in the state of Durango, Mexico compared to $9.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year.

On August 10, 2011 the Company committed a total of $25.0 million to accelerate the advancement of the Pitarrilla mining complex. A feasibility study is scheduled to be completed in the first half of 2012 and if approved, detailed design and construction will commence thereafter leading to production in approximately two years. The $25.0 million allows for the purchase of critical path process equipment and to date work has commenced on access roads, water wells, and constructing the workers' camp. The Company also continues to build the management team, notably with the recruitment of a new general manager.

A campaign of diamond drilling was also conducted during the second and third quarters, with 83 boreholes and a total of 13,867 meters being drilled. This drilling program was designed to provide in-fill assay data for an enhanced estimate of the project's 'oxide' silver resource as well as geotechnical and metallurgical information that will be used for mine design and optimization.

The Pitarrilla project currently comprises Probable mineral reserves of 91.7 million ounces of silver, Measured and Indicated resources of 551.6 million ounces of silver and Inferred resources of 82.2 million ounces of silver.

San Luis, Peru

A total of $1.3 million was spent during the quarter at the now wholly-owned San Luis project in Peru compared to $1.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year. On July 28, 2011, the Company completed the previously announced agreement, and acquired the remaining 30% interest in the San Luis project from the Company's former joint venture partner, Esperanza Resources Corp. ("Esperanza"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid $17.9 million in cash, transferred to Esperanza the 6.459 million shares of Esperanza that the Company owned, and granted to Esperanza a 1% net smelter return royalty on future revenues earned from the project.

Long-term land access negotiations advanced with two local communities and work also continued on completing the required Environmental Impact Study ("EIS"). The completion of the land access agreements and the EIS will enable a construction decision to be made, which is expected to happen during 2012.

During the quarter mineral prospecting on the property resulted in the discovery of a set of northwesterly trending quartz veins which were tested for their precious metal content with the collection of 265 rock-chip samples. Assay results for these samples indicate sections of these veins are significantly mineralized with gold and require further assessment by diamond drilling.

The San Luis project comprises Proven and Probable mineral reserves of 7.2 million ounces of silver and 0.29 million ounces of gold. These reserves are 100% attributable to the Company as of July 28, 2011, following its consolidation of ownership.

Nazas, Mexico

A total of $1.6 million was spent during the quarter at the Company's Nazas project, compared to $0.2 million during the same quarter of the prior year.

Nazas, which until recently comprised three contiguous mineral properties covering approximately 236 square kilometers, is centered about 16 kilometers east of the Pitarrilla project and covers an extensive system of gold- and silver-bearing quartz veins and related hydrothermal alteration. Several of these vein targets have now been tested, with approximately 4,187 meters being drilled in the third quarter for a total of 12,587 meters coming from 22 boreholes.

Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company elected not to continue its option to purchase the Navidad claim group at the center of the Nazas project area due to the fact that assay results from boreholes drilled on the claims were insufficiently positive to justify the costs to maintain the option to purchase agreement with the owner of the claims. Notwithstanding our decision on the Navidad property, the geological information provided by this year's drilling campaign will be utilized in the planning of future drilling on the other two Nazas properties which are wholly owned by the Company. Our goal at Nazas continues to be the discovery of precious metal-rich polymetallic mineralization.

Diablillos, Argentina

A total of $0.7 million was spent during the quarter at the Company's wholly-owned Diablillos project (which is located 275 kilometers south of the Pirquitas mine in northwestern Argentina) compared to $0.7 million in the same quarter of the prior year.

Expenditures for the quarter include administrative, property taxes and camp maintenance costs. Fieldwork in the quarter mainly comprised rock sampling to identify satellite zones of near-surface oxidized gold mineralization that would complement the resources defined in the main Oculto silver-gold deposit. A number of prospects were identified for follow-up mechanized trenching and additional sampling, and depending on the results of this work which will be completed in the fourth quarter, several of these targets are expected to be drilled next year with shallow boreholes.

The Oculto deposit at the Diablillos project has a Indicated mineral resource that contains 77.1 million ounces of silver and 0.64 million ounces of gold, with additional Inferred resources containing 6.3 million ounces of silver and 0.19 million ounces of gold.

San Agustin, Mexico

A total of $0.2 million was spent during the quarter at the Company's wholly-owned San Agustin project located in Durango State, Mexico compared to the $0.5 million spent in the same quarter of the prior year. Most of the third quarter expenditure was incurred as property holding costs and other administrative expenses.

Advanced negotiations were conducted during the quarter with three parties that control the property surface rights. Once land access agreements are in place, a 5,000 meter-long diamond drilling program will be initiated, likely in the first quarter of 2012. The objective of the drilling program will be to expand the near-surface oxidized gold resource. In addition to the proposed program of in-fill drilling, detailed metallurgical studies will also be undertaken and will focus on gold recovery characteristics of the oxide gold mineralization.

The San Agustin project currently comprises an Indicated mineral resource of 47.8 million ounces of silver and 1.59 million ounces of gold, along with an Inferred resource of 36.9 million ounces of silver and 1.06 million ounces of gold.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements about the future and are inherently uncertain, and our actual achievements or other future events or conditions may differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those referred to in this news release. Our forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made, and we do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's beliefs, expectations or opinions should change. For the reasons set forth above, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Cautionary note to U.S. investors: The terms "measured mineral resource", "indicated mineral resource", and "inferred mineral resource" used in this news release are Canadian geological and mining terms as defined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") under the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. We advise U.S. investors that while such terms are recognized and required under Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize these terms. "Inferred mineral resources" in particular have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules estimates of inferred mineral resources may not generally form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of contained metal expressed in ounces is in compliance with NI 43-101, but does not meet the requirements of Industry Guide 7 of the SEC, which will only accept the disclosure of tonnage and grade estimates for non-reserve mineralization.

je n'avais pas remarqué, mais la news postée au dessus date de mercredi 9-11 et pas d'aujourd'hui ... donc en effet comme le remarque ce lecteur du Midas, l'attaque SSRI à l'ouverture de la séance aurait du se produire HIER !

la news date de 17 h now... je viens de vérifier ... décallage fort étrange ...

d'autant plus qu'il coincide avec un raid encore plus monstrueux sur Tanzanian exploration mine ( TRX), la mine de Sinclair qui a dévissé ce jour de 35 % ( et même bien plus en intraday , sans AUCUNE NEWS particulière

je me faisais la réflexion tout à l'heure, quand je tombe sur ce commentaire ... et en effet, même si la news SSRI n'est pas extraordinaire, elle ne justifie amah pas une telle chute

Alors, oui on peut s'interroger... d'autant plus qu'on a vécu raids similaires récemment sur SVM



Bref, voici le commentaire en question

www.lemetropolecafe.com



TRX, SSRI

You have probably already long since noted on your own, and been notified multiple times, about the weird plummeting of TRX and SSRI. As is always the case, one never knows that there might not be a real problem deserving such treatment, but needless to say I am skeptical. I have to be suspicious of blatant manipulation designed to appear thumb-my-nose-at-you-we'll-get-away-with-it blatant. I just sent the following to TRX investor relations, as a longtime shareholder:

1. FYI: This morning there has been nasty monkey business in another widely held and high-profile PM stock today in case you hadn't noticed. Yesterday Silver Standard issued not so good news at around noon, EST. However it was not until the opening of the market today that it got absolutely clobbered (though not as much as TRX). The decline in Ag prices did not justify the clobbering. The delay since noon yesterday strongly suggests that it was not in response to yesterday's mid-day press release.
   
   2. In the case of both TRX and SSRI the charts (to me) have been ugly as if there were really, really, really bad news for some time. Perhaps some wise gals/guys have expected this action for some time?
   
   3. There have been others that have not (?yet) been clobbered that have been treated horribly to a seemingly bizarre extent, as if there were devastating news, suppressed when there seems to be good news. I think especially of Sabina and Romarco. I suppose I am stating the obvious that everyone knows.
   
   Just casual observations. I may send copies to Bill Murphy & Arthur Cutten in case they're interested.
   J.B…
   

1. I happen to think that in the past few days Silvercorp seems to have been exonerated big-bigtime from an apparent smear campaign alleging fraud that caused its share price to plummet extremely badly. Its accountants backed it, and it just reported very good earnings, apparently, causing the share price to shoot up extraordinarily well. If one had bought at the low one would have done awfully well (even if one had not profited from shorting from the prior fall).

I wonder whether the wisegals/guys are simply going to start rotate through various companies, openly, brazenly, in a everyday routine sort of way, smashing them down on heavy volume after shorting them slowly but manipulatively, then buying them up. If one had play money (I certainly don't) one might want to look at well known small PM companies with unattractive charts as especially great buy targets, now and perhaps after a huge smack-down--whereas the normal tendency would be to buy those with more attractive charts. It will be interesting to see.

2. As always, I, like others, have to be suspicious that companies associated with or invested in by prominent PM backers (including Sprott) get punished the most spectacularly. I think Sprott has been a big if perhaps quiet Romarco backer for some time. Samex's share price seemed to be doing well after doing poorly, but has recently tended to revert to acting as if doing even worse than should be expected in a PM rough patch. I do not look at many many charts, nor do I follow who owns or recommends what, so I don't really know, however. It would be tough to do a rigorous study to test this hypothesis, however. ECU/AUMN certainly has not been treated well in the markets.

As always, no need to respond. Just casual observations.

Short Report

Bill:
The shorts were right again! How do they do it? Their clairvoyance is impressive or could it be just old fashioned insider information? Yesterdays(11-9-11) short levels rose to 44% of total daily trading volume for my select and representative mining companies(AEM, AG, AU, GG, NEM, PAAS, RGLD, SLW)! NEM, GG and even ABX were all over 50% short sales as a percentage of total trading volume! NEM was near 70% short sales for the day! Wow! The shorts must be expecting a collapse in the gold price soon! You gotta wonder how long they(the shorts) can keep this up. I think until/if/when the price of gold goes over $2,000 and silver over $50 they will keep shorting and covering all in the same or next day! This seems like the fourth time this year that the roller coaster ride we are on has changed directions with gold and silver strength to weakness cycles. What a system!

A wide shot of the Pirquitas mine in Jujy, Argentina operated by Silver Standard - silverstandard.com


Investors looking for opportunities around the world have generally
shunned Argentina, a country that recently made headlines for unilaterally expropriating major oil company YPF from Spain’s Repsol.

Despite more than 20% inflation over the last couple of years, U.S.
dollar shortages, and import restrictions, Silver Standard Resources
have been operating in Argentina for more than six years, where it has
the Pirquitas mine, one of the biggest silver mines in the world, CEO
John Smith told Forbes. Smith believes Argentina offers great
opportunities, which he expects to take advantage of as silver prices
rally in the second half of the year, he said.

and 10 million ounces of silver this year and 10 to 12 million pounds of
zinc. That would make Pirquitas one of the “largest primary silver
mines in the world,” according to Silver Standard.

The recently converted silver producer
might look like a risky investment, but CEO John Smith insists Silver
Standard is a “growth stock.” Shares in his company are trading near
their 52-week low, at $11.41 by the closing bell in New York on Monday, as the price of silver is trading at its lowest levels since early 2011 ($27.50 an ounce).

Silver Standard used to act as a proxy for the price of silver,
according to Smith, as the company would “just find it, not produce
it.” But the emergence of commodity-backed ETFs,
like the GLD and the SLV, changed that story, forcing the company to
expand and become a “full-spectrum miner.” While major miners like BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto
have seen margin pressure given the need to keep up with China’s
relentless demand, Smith believes “the margins and the capital are
there” for Silver Standard to thrive.

Gold and silver equities are trading at a substantial discount to
physical metals and the ETFs (which track the price of physical), which
for Smith is an opportunity for investors. Silver Standard is
completely unhedged, and has finally been able to start production at
Pirquitas, there most promising project.

After an on-site visit, analysts at GMP Securities noted that
“operating issues that plagued the mine in 2011 have been resolved and
that Pirquitas is on track for a record 2012.” Smith and his team have
the difficult challenge, though, of operating in Argentina, a country
known for regulatory uncertainty and intense government intervention of
markets.

“Risk mitigation is about
taking reality into account, whether it’s rational or not,” explained
Smith, adding that 20%-plus inflation “makes it difficult to operate,
[as it] squeezes gross profit.” The administration of Cristina Kirchner
has been trying to fix economic imbalances, as an undervalued currency
and negative interest rates have fueled a run for the safety of the U.S.
dollar among depositors. A deteriorating current account, added to an
absolute distrust for the relative value of the Argentine peso, has led
to dollar-buying restrictions, along with both implicit and explicit
import-blocking policy.

The Kirchner administration has also recently appropriated oil and
gas company YPF in order to plug a deteriorating energy balance. Smith
isn’t afraid, saying there’s little to be gained by expropriating Silver
Standard’s resources. They are a net exporter (meaning they bring in
U.S. dollars) and pay all the appropriate royalties and taxes, he said,
adding that they buy 90% of their inputs domestically (isolating them
from import-risk).

Operating in such a difficult landscape has forced them to become
better at managing cost structures, while developing new ways of
“engaging our work force to get higher productivity.” Smith said
they’ve invested $400 to $500 million in Argentina, and have never had
problems converting their revenues into U.S. dollars to take them out of
the country.

Silver Standard expects to produce between 8.2 million and 8.5
million ounces of silver this year, and between 10.5 and 11.5 million
pounds of zinc, while keeping cash costs steady at $11.85 per ounce.
Having recently signed long and short-term contracts, they have already
placed approximately 60% of monthly production with smelters. Smith
believes silver, and gold, will pop in the second half of this year,
giving his company a boost from higher prices as they increase
production. Analysts at GMP Securities have slapped a “buy” rating on
the stock and a $27 price target.

“You have to understand the risks in your business” said Smith,
noting that if one takes average risks, they will see average returns.
With “boots on the ground” and a small number of expats on his team,
Smith is sure that they will be able to continue to navigate the
difficult waters of operating in Argentina, and turn his company into a
true growth stock.

Mine Operations

During 2012, the Pirquitas mine produced a record 8.6 million ounces of silver. The mine produced 2.3 million ounces of silver during the fourth quarter, 4.9% quarter-on-quarter improvement reflecting higher average silver recoveries in the plant and higher mill throughput. The mine also produced 3.2 million pounds of zinc in the fourth quarter, bringing total zinc production to 11.2 million pounds for the year, near the high-end of the 2012 zinc production guidance range.

Approximately 417,000 tonnes of ore were milled at an average rate of 4,531 tonnes per day during the quarter, 13% above the plant's nominal design. On an annual basis, the mill processed 4,433 tonnes per day during 2012.

Ore milled during the fourth quarter of 2012 contained an average silver grade of 212 g/t, in line with the 214 g/t reported for the third quarter. The average recovery rate for silver increased to 79.9% from 77.7% in the third quarter.

Outlook for 2013

Silver Standard's estimated production and cost guidance for 2013 are as follows:

Produce and sell 8.2 to 8.5 million ounces of silver.
Produce over 20 million pounds of zinc.
Total cash cost of between $17.00 and $18.50 per silver ounce.
Capital expenditures of $25 million at Pirquitas, including approximately $15 million for a tailings facility expansion but excluding capitalized stripping costs.
Expenditures of $15 million for exploration across the Company's portfolio.
Expenditures of $17 million for development.
Silver Standard plans to spend approximately $15 million on exploration in 2013. Of this, approximately $7 million is budgeted for exploration at our Mexican projects, with the balance mainly budgeted for Argentina and Peru. The Company may increase its exploration budget or redirect exploration spending in response to positive results.

The Company expects to spend a minimum of $17 million on development in 2013. Of this, approximately $8 million and $7 million will be incurred at the Pitarrilla and San Luis projects, respectively, in line with our goal of advancing these projects to construction decisions. Should construction decisions be made, development expenditures would increase significantly. Planned investments in advance of construction decisions include optimization, land acquisition, community agreements, permitting and financing.

John Smith, President and CEO of Silver Standard, commented on the Company's 2013 guidance, "Following a strong 2012, we continue to focus on delivering strong and predictable results at Pirquitas. In the first half of the year we are moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of the San Miguel open-pit. Due to ore and stockpile sequencing, we plan to produce approximately 2 million ounces of silver in the first quarter of 2013 with production strengthening as we move through the year. At the same time, our team will continue with permitting, engineering and partnering activities at Pitarrilla. We remain focused on progressing towards a construction decision."

Silver Standard is required to adopt the accounting standard IFRIC 20 "Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine" effective January 1, 2013. The Company estimates that the adoption of IFRIC 20 will result in the capitalization of approximately $24 million of mining costs in 2013 that will be amortized in subsequent periods.

Changes to the Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Commencing with its 2012 annual filings, Silver Standard plans to revise its non-GAAP "total cash cost" and "total production cost" disclosure methodology. Under the revised methodology, the Company will report total cash cost and total production cost on a "per payable ounce sold" basis, rather than on a per ounce produced basis as reported previously. Silver concentrate export duties that are being accrued but not paid will be reallocated to total cost to reflect their non-cash nature as the Company has an order in its favor against their payment.

Total cash cost will consist of the cost of inventory, third party smelting, refining and transportation and royalties less by-product credits. Total production cost will consist of total cash cost plus depreciation, depletion, amortization (including amortization of deferred stripping costs) and silver concentrate export duties. The divisor for both measures is payable silver ounces sold in the period.

The 2013 total cash cost guidance incorporates these changes.

Silver Standard Résultats du quatrième trimestre et de fin d'année 2012

C'est du bon... enfin, pas mal compte tenu de l'importance de certains postes de charges non 'ou peu' récurrentes

et le rythme de croissance du dernier trimestre 2012 est éminemment prometteur pour 2013



http://ir.silverstandard.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=744361

Les comptes beaucoup plus détaillés.

il faut bien comprendre que Pitarilla est une mine dont l'espérance de vie a été programmée sur 32 ans et que, par définition, les investissements initiaux, qui sont lourds au début, constituent une grosse charge mais qui va voir son importance se diluer au fil des années et ce, au grand bénéfice de la rentabilité...bref, on paye d'avance le poulailler, les coqs et les jeunes pondeuses...mais pendant 32 ans on aura des oeufs....et comme la plupart des réserves de Silver (les oeufs des autres poulaillers) seront épuisées bien avant 32 ans, je ne vous raconte même pas l'évolution du prix des oeufs... MIAM
Pour Pirquitas seule, on vient de payer rien moins que 142 forages soit 52800m de carottage, ça a coûté la peau des rouleaux...mais cette phase est terminée...Bon, ok, il reste 7000 m à creuser en 2013 et ça va encore coûter du pognon, MAIS le pourcentage de réserves NOUVELLES qui sont en train de basculer de possibles à probables et de probables à prouvées est réjouissant, carrément en haut de la fourchette des prévisions optimistes ( sans même parler du ZINC dont les réserves et la production sont en train d'exploser littéralement à la hausse, et il n'y a pas de raison que les 7000 m supplémentaires soient décevants.

Mine Operations

The Pirquitas mine produced 2.0 million ounces of silver during the first quarter of 2013, in line with guidance for the quarter but down from the 2.3 million ounces produced in the fourth quarter of 2012. The sequential decline in silver production reflects lower tonnage through the mill and lower recoveries in the plant. The mine also produced 3.3 million pounds of zinc in the first quarter, a 27.1% improvement, reflecting higher zinc grades as the Company mined more of the zinc-rich Potosi area of the San Miguel open pit. The Company sold approximately 2.0 million ounces of silver during the quarter, in line with guidance.

Approximately 396,000 tonnes of ore was milled during the first quarter of 2013, down from 417,000 tonnes last quarter mostly due to fewer operating days in a shorter reporting period. Ore was milled at an average rate of 4,402 tonnes per day during the first quarter, 10% above the plant's nominal design and in line with the production plan. The average recovery rate for silver decreased to 76.3% from 79.9% last quarter, mainly due to more oxidized and transitional ore in the mill feed. As Phase 2 of the San Miguel open pit deepens, the proportion of oxide and transitional ore in the mill feed is expected to decrease.

Potentiel de développement de SSRI

Citation :

Bonjour, Deux articles intéressants concernant les coûts de production "réels"
de SSRI et l'exposition au risque-pays de SSRI. On retiendra qu'avec le prix
actuel du silver, SSRI avec un coût total de 29$/oz au 1er trimestre 2013 est en
territoire dangereux.

Pour autant, la trésorerie semble suffisante et surtout, même si le risque-pays
semble très élevé aujourd'hui puisque les seuls revenus proviennent de la mine
de Pirquitas en Argentine, les revenus devraient considérablement augmenter dès
fin 2013 avec l'entrée en production du site géant de Pitarilla au Mexique.
