Starcore Files Updated 43-101 Report on the San Martin Mine with
Renewed Reserves and Resources of 267,306 AuEq Ounces
Vancouver, British Columbia –Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX:SAM) (“Starcore” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce it has completed an updated Technical Report in accordance with National Instrument
43-101 (“NI 43-101”) on its San Martin Gold mine in Querétaro, Mexico. The report has been filed on SEDAR
and is also available on the company’s website www.starcore.com. The highlights from the Technical Report
are below:
Starcore International Mines, San Martin Mine Mineral Reserves and Resources
As of April 30,2018
Category Tonnes Grade Total
Contained Oz
Au g/t Ag g/t AuEq Oz
Total Proven and Probable 1,651,318 2.11 33 154,382
Total Inferred + Indicated 1,493,812 1.94 25 112,924
Total Ounces Contained 267,306
The total Mineral Reserves and Resources is 3,145,130 tonnes . Currently, budgeted mine production is
approximately 300,000 tonnes per year.
The assumptions used to arrive at this mineral resource vary slightly from previous rules defined many years
ago. In recent years, with the involvement of different and newly added professionals to the mine site
operations, mining exploitation systems were changed due to:
1. A greater percentage of production coming from narrow to wide steeply dipping vein
structures;
2. Sub-horizontal Mantos mineralized structures that were somewhat narrower than historical
Mantos; and
3. Reopening and increasing the development of the footwall mineralization in old stopes where
lower grade mineralization was not mined during times of lower gold and silver prices.
Assumptions in making the reserve estimates are as follows:
1. Reserve cut-off grades are based on a 1.66 g/t gold equivalent.
2. Metallurgical Recoveries of 88% gold and 55% silver.
3. Minimum mining widths of 1.5 meters.
4. Dilution factor of 20%.
5. Gold equivalents based on a 1:81 gold:silver ratio.
- 2 -
6. Price assumptions of $1300 per ounce for gold and $16 per ounce for silver.
7. Mineral resources are estimated exclusive of and in addition to mineral reserves.
Mr. Salvador Garcia, P. Eng., stated “Many positive developments over the past year at San Martin are coming
to fruition. Our planning and development, coupled with a focus on operational excellence, have opened new
zones like Cuerpo 28 and San Jose 2. Our team has done an excellent job through the process and we look
forward to continually transferring resources to reserves and finding new structures.”
