Vancouver, B.C. – Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX: SAM) (“Starcore” or “the Company”) announces production results for the first fiscal quarter ended July 2024, at its San Martin Mine (“San Martin”) in Queretaro, Mexico.
“The first quarter results are indicative of the average production we expect to see in the coming quarters,” said Salvador Garcia, COO of the Company. “The results reflect the current situation at San Martin and include only the oxide ore. As reported in a previous press release (see news release of May 13, 2024), we have been researching other methods to get the best recovery of gold and silver from our carbonaceous ore. To this end, we joined forces with Kappes Cassiday, an engineering firm headquartered in Reno, Nevada, that specializes in all aspects of heap leaching and cyanide processing. Based on the results of Kappes Cassiday’s laboratory work over the last few months, we expect to start the industrial testing of our carbonaceous ore next month.”
