The Company has now\nproduced and sold three batches of silver-lead concentrate from Apuradita in\n2026, resulting in cash proceeds of approximately US$1.4 million.\n\nHighlights\n* Feed for the three concentrate batches totalled 4,547 tonnes of\nsilver-bearing mineralized material delivered from Apuradita mining operation\nto the toll milling facility, at a weighted average grade of 297 grams per\ntonne silver and 0.9% lead. Feed for the first batch was 1,223 tonnes grading\n250 grams per tonne silver and 0.7% lead, and feed for the second batch was\n1,845 tonnes grading 248 grams per tonne silver and 0.8% lead. Feed for the\nthird batch was 1,479 tonnes grading 396 grams per tonne silver and 1.2% lead.\n* Three silver-lead concentrate batches were produced by toll milling totaling\n84.7 dry tonnes of concentrate containing 24,538 ounces of silver and 20\ntonnes of lead metal.\n* Silver concentrate grade has increased with each successive batch, from\n5,916 grams per tonne silver in the first batch to 11,577 grams per tonne\nsilver in the third, with lead grade also increasing from 14.4% to 31%.\n* Approximate cash proceeds from the three batches of concentrate sales total\nUS$1.4 million with estimated cash flow margin of 35% accounting for direct\noperating costs and capital expenditure at Apuradita.([1])\n* A fourth concentrate batch is in preparation, with mineralized material\nbeing stockpiled at the Apuradita project site for delivery to the toll\nmilling facility in October.\nConcentrate Production to Date\n\nTable 1.
