STARCORE ANNOUNCES
Second Quarter Production Results
Vancouver, B.C. – Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX: SAM) (“Starcore” or “the Company”)
announces production results for the second fiscal quarter ended October 2023, at its San Martin Mine
(“San Martin”) in Queretaro, Mexico.
“In late Q2, the mine returned to the level of monthly production planned for the 2023 – 2024 fiscal
year, as well as recovering additional ounces over budgeted amounts to make up for the lower than
planned production in Q1,” stated Salvador Garcia, Chief Operating Officer. “The Q2 results reflect
more accurately the mine’s stable production based on consisten cy from stopes in production, gold
and silver ore grades meeting the plan, efficient processing with good recoveries and the development
and mining in line with budgeted expectations. The most important aspect is the proven team we have
at San Martin that is encouraged to grow the operations. In this respect , we are working specifically
on two fronts; firstly, as stated previously, we are working closely on completing the acquisition of
or merger with local mining property owners which will allow us to develop these properties and
provide additional ore to utilize the unused capacity of our plant ; and, s econdly, we have begun to
research how to process the approximately one million tonnes of carbonaceous ore in our mine, that
we have been unable to process in our plant, which contain grades of 2.5 gr/tonne of gold equivalent.
This project is focused to increase the reserves and therefore the L ife of Mine . In the end, we are
always focused on producing profitable ounces overall,” further stated Salvador Garcia.
