3 Year Growth Plan

Argonaut's three year growth plan

By 2019, the Company expects to produce over 200,000 GEOs annually from its existing operations, which would reflect over 65% production growth from 2017 through 2019. This production growth is primarily driven by the ramp up of the El Castillo Complex with the addition of San Agustin and the extension of mine life at El Castillo subsequent to the San Juan concession purchase from Fresnillo Plc (see press release dated February 23, 2017) as well as higher anticipated grades at La Colorada as mining transitions to the El Creston pit.
