SOUTH ARTURO

The planned transition at the South Arturo Mine in Nevada, a joint venture operated by Barrick Gold Corp. ("Barrick"), from Phase 2 mining to commercial production at Phase 1 (open pit) and El Niño (underground) is well underway with the development of these two mining projects setting the stage for renewed commercial production expected to begin in 2020. The Company expects it will recover between 5,000 to 10,000 ounces of gold from development during the year (see Table 2), the proceeds of which will be applied as a reduction in development capital.  Premier's proportionate share of development capital at South Arturo for 2019 (excluding proceeds from pre-commercial production gold sales) is budgeted at US$39 million.

Premier's proportionate share of development capital at South Arturo for 2019 (excluding proceeds from pre-commercial production gold sales) is $39 million.  Proceeds from pre-commercial production gold sales will be credited against development capital.

 

The joint venture is assessing the feasibility of Phase 3 open-pit mining and heap leach processing of stockpiled ore and will provide a longer-term outlook for this project once this work is complete.

"With production quickly stabilizing at Mercedes and associated reduction in costs, our focus now includes developments such as the Marianas deposit,", stated Ewan Downie, President & CEO.  "Ongoing initiatives at South Arturo, including two new mines under development, are setting the stage for increased production and sustained operations".
