Arian Silver Achieves First Concentrate Production at San José
Arian Silver Corporation ("Arian Silver" or the "Company"), (AIM:AGQ, TSXV:AGQ),
a silver exploration, development and mining company focused on silver projects
in the silver belt of Zacatecas, Mexico, is pleased to report that first
concentrate production has been achieved at its wholly-owned San José project.
The Company has produced its first silver-lead concentrate from its recently
constructed processing plant and hasstarted the commissioningof the zinc
flotation circuit. The Company anticipates first zinc concentrate production
early in the second quarter of 2015.
It is anticipated that the throughput of the plant will be increased over the
coming months until the maximum throughput of 1,500 tonnes per day is
achieved.
Jim Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Arian Silver, commented:
"Our team has done a tremendous job in bringing this operation into production
safely within a very short time period. I would like to take this opportunity
to thank our staff in Mexico and London for their hard work and dedication in
achieving this important milestone. I would also like to thank our
shareholders for their continued support during this transitional period for
the Company.
We have successfully optimized the crushing circuit to produce a smaller than
expected particle size which will be more beneficial during the milling
stage.We have also commenced commissioning of the zinc circuit and expect to
produce our first zinc concentrate early inthe second quarter.
Achieving first concentrate production is a major milestone for our Company
and marks the transition to a new silver mining company."
