Vancouver, March 17, 2023 - Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX: SAM) ("Starcore" or the "Company") has filed the results for the third quarter ended January 31, 2023 for the Company and its mining operations in Queretaro, Mexico.

All financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS and all dollar amounts are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.

"As reported in our production news release last month, we expect the new geological model to define the exploration targets that we will use to continue underground exploration. While we are currently showing positive cash flow from mining operations, we continue to implement cost reductions in all areas of mine and administration, including management, to compensate for lower production," reported Robert Eadie, CEO of the Company.
