Great Panther President and CEO Rob Henderson commented, "We delivered a solid quarter of steady state operations at all of our mines in Q3, in spite of the challenges of managing COVID-19. As Tucano transitioned from Urucum Central North to mining in the southern pits, throughput was slightly lower, but operations remain on track to meet full year guidance. In Mexico, both mines reported a full quarter of operations despite challenging conditions related to controls in place for COVID-19. All in, the mines are operating well, while we continue to put the health and safety of our people and communities first and foremost."
Q3 2020 production results are preliminary and subject to adjustment with Great Panther's Q3 2020 earnings results, scheduled for release before market open on November 5, 2020. A conference call will follow at 9am PST/12pm EST.
