This export represents another a major milestone for the Company occurring, as forecast, in calendar 2020. The company has now demonstrated the viability of the operation's entire logistics chain from ore purchases, processing, concentrate production, export logistics and physical concentrate shipment.

Initial forecast for the first half of 2021 is to aggressively grow our zinc-silver concentrate export volumes to approximately 2,000 tonnes per month with the intention to increase this again in H2 2021. We will provide updates on volume growth targets in the coming weeks as we complete in-progress exports.

Regarding the completion of the first shipment of zinc-silver concentrate, Gorden Glenn, CEO commented: "This milestone represents an incredible achievement by the entire Intercontinental team. To initiate and complete our first concentrate shipment in just 1.5 months from the start of discussions with producers, processing facilities, off takers and logistics providers is a testament to the experience, dedication and culture within the Company. The entire team should be proud of their role in the achievements of the business initiative to date, which is will form an additional platform for continued growth by the Company. The response to the Company entering the concentrate export business was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from mine operators right through to off taker's and service providers and is a testament to our transparent business/regulatory business plan."
