silver-manganese manto oxide development project. North West has a resource calculated in accordance with NI 43-101 and is currently being drilled to test the limits of that resource. The Company released the results of the first five holes of the current drill program on North West in May, 2015 that showed high grade zinc, lead and silver intercepts over significant thicknesses. Central’s December 2013 prefeasibility study indicates it is expected to be one of the largest primary silver producers as well as the only electrolytic manganese metal producer in the USA at industry low cash costs. The pre-feasibility study estimates annual production of 5.7 million ounces of silver and 110 million pounds of electrolytic manganese metal (EMM) at average cash costs of $4.41 per silver ounce and $0.74 per EMM pound over an 18 year mine life.
