Golden Minerals Company is a Delaware corporation and our common
stock is publicly traded on the Toronto and the New York MKT Stock
Exchanges. Golden Minerals owns the Velardeña and Chicago precious
metals mining properties (the "Velardeña Properties") in the State
of Durango, Mexico, the El Quevar advanced exploration silver
property in the Salta province of northwestern Argentina, and a
diversified portfolio of precious metals exploration properties
located in or near historical precious metals producing regions of
Mexico and Argentina. Our total company resources are estimated at
approximately *4.6 million silver equivalent ounces in the Measured
and Indicated category, plus an additional *5.8 million silver
equivalent ounces in the Inferred category.*
The Velardeña Properties were acquired in September ***1 and
consist of two mines and two processing facilities. Velardeña
contains high-grade silver and gold plus lead and zinc base metals,
and the resource remains open at depth. During ***2, payable
production reached approximately **3,**0 silver equivalent ounces,
consisting of approximately **7,**0 ounces silver and 6,**0 ounces
gold (using a *0:1 ratio for gold to silver). Additionally, the
company produced approximately 1.0 million pounds of payable lead
and 1.4 million pounds of payable zinc. In the first half of ***3,
payable production reached approximately **5,**0 silver equivalent
ounces, consisting of **1,**0 ounces silver and 2,**0 ounces gold.
Due primarily to continuing depressed market prices of silver and
gold, the company suspended mining operations at Velardeña on June
*9, ***3 and placed the properties on a care and maintenance
program. The suspension of production was carried out in order to
best conserve the asset until operating plans and silver and gold
prices indicate a sustainable cash margin for operations. Golden
used the operating down time to conduct a 9,***-meter drilling
program and to develop a new mining plan that indicates positive
net cash flow from the Velardeña Properties after production is
ramped up through the second quarter ***5. Golden resumed mining
activity on July 1, ***4 and is now focused on executing its new
mining plan at Velardeña.
Golden also retains **0 percent control over the El Quevar pure
silver, *5,***-hectare project located in the Salta Province of
northwest Argentina that remains open to both the east and west. A
June ***2 NI *****1 compliant technical report shows a silver
resource of *2.0 million ounces Indicated and *0.2 million ounces
Inferred. A late****2 drilling program conducted in areas outside
the scope of the June ***2 technical report produced positive
results that reinforced our thesis that El Quevar exhibits
characteristics of an emerging new silver district. Golden Minerals
is actively seeking a partner with whom to conduct further drilling
and analysis and to advance the El Quevar project.
Golden has no debt and no hedging on its books. With the care and
maintenance program in place, the Company reported a balance of
approximately $*0.4 million cash and equivalents as of June *0,
***4.
The Golden Minerals management team has a proven track record in
all areas of mineral resource development, including acquisition
and exploration, permitting, construction, ramp-up and optimization
of production, commissioning all aspects of operations, mine
reclamation and closure. Our executive team has held positions with
major mining companies throughout the world.
