In 2014, silver and gold production increased for the eighth consecutive year, reaching 6.6 million ounces of silver and 35,316 ounces of gold at a consolidated all-in sustaining cash cost (AISCC) per ounce of silver of US$14.48, net of by-product credits.

Drawing on mineral reserves as of December 31, 2014 containing approximately 41 million ounces of silver and 252,000 ounces of gold, Fortuna expects to produce 6.5 million ounces of silver and 35,300 ounces of gold, plus significant lead and zinc by-products in 2015. The estimated consolidated AISCC, net of by-product credits, is $16.61 per ounce of silver, which includes $4.00 per ounce attributed to the mill expansion underway at San Jose.

Fortuna is targeting growth in both reserves and production by leveraging its industry expertise in Latin America. Management is committed to operating profitability and maintaining industry best practices while striving for excellence in employee relations, community outreach and safeguarding of the environment.
