Arturo Bonillas, President of the Company stated, "2014 was another strong year for Timmins Gold with record production of 121,573 gold equivalent ounces. We reached the upper end of our guidance despite the impact of record rainfall in Sonora in September. Our production guidance for 2015 is between 115,000 and 125,000 gold equivalent ounces with cash costs of approximately $800-850 per ounce.
"We are very excited about our recent acquisition of the Caballo Blanco project. Its most recent PEA showed robust economics at current gold prices. The acquisition will allow us to leverage development and operational expertise to bring our second open pit heap leach mine into production in Mexico. Our focus at the project this year will be permitting and optimizing the resource and engineering models for the project."
