NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES
Vancouver, B.C. – Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX: SAM) (“Starcore” or “the Company”) announces production results for the third fiscal quarter ended January 2024, at its San Martin Mine (“San Martin”) in Queretaro, Mexico.
The third quarter confirmed the stability of the production in the San Martin Mine in this fiscal year. Production increases were experienced due to the higher grade of gold fed into the mill and the improvement in recovery of approximately 4 percentage points, both due to the high grade oreshoot discovered during the year as a result of investment in exploration and metallurgical research.
“We are also continuing the research to recover the gold and silver contained in over one million tonnes of Carbonaceous ore that are present in the mine, but which have not been included in our reserves and resources. As always, we are focused on mining only profitable ounces,” stated Salvador Garcia, COO of the company.
