Global Mining Review,
"During the third quarter of this year, the company continued with the commissioning of Mill Circuit 4, which represents a significant commitment to future expansion in Mexico. While our financial results were impacted due to a lower metal price environment, we feel that the company is well-positioned for the future. In view of the current environment, our focus for 3Q18 and moving into 4Q18 has shifted from increasing production, to preserving our operating margins, through previously-announced cost-reduction programmes" said David Wolfin, President and CEO. "Our focus moving forward will be to maintain stable operations which will include a temporary reduction of development at the Avino Mine (Elena Tolosa area) which means that the mining rate will decrease, however the mill production will be stable for the rest of the quarter. In the meantime, we will continue to optimise operations and evaluate other areas of the vast Avino property."
