    The Corporation had given a production guidance of 570,000 ounces of silver for 2015 and total cash costs of between $11.50 and $12.38 per ounce Ag to be reported after commercial production is declared. The Company expects to increase its mill recovery once it reaches commercial production during the third quarter.

    Maya will send professional QPs on-site during the second quarter of 2015 to carry out the Resources, Mine and Mill independent audit.

    Underground development

    Since the beginning of January 2015, ZMSM

  • has started underground works including the widening of the entirety of the main level (2000) on approximately 760 meters,
  • has pursued YAK drilling for the planning of mining production,
  • has started preliminary works (including digging of an 9 square meters aeration drift) in order to mine the "D" Body in a near future,
  • has completed intensive wall sampling campaign.
  • A portion of the daily mineralized material processed comes from this underground development.

    Flotation tests

    Besides, laboratory teams are presently pursuing flotation test works to validate and optimize a process to eventually introduce flotation cells into the actual processing plant as to largely increase processing capacity. Results will be published in a near future.

    Forward looking information

    Zgounder Silver Mine

    The decision to commence production at the Zgounder Silver Mine was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, but rather on a pre-feasibility study. Accordingly, there is increased uncertainty and economic and technical risks of failure associated with this production decision. Production and economic variables may vary considerably, due to the absence of a complete and detailed site analysis according to and in accordance with NI 43-101.
