VANCOUVER, Nov. 8, 2019
/CNW/ - Metalla Royalty & Streaming
Ltd. ("Metalla" or the "Company") (TSXV:
MTA) (OTCQB: MTAFF) is pleased to report the first shipment of ore
has been processed from the COSE mine and the results of the Annual
General Meeting held on November 6,
2019.
Brett Heath, President and CEO of
Metalla Royalty, commented: "We are very pleased to see the COSE
and Joaquin mines continue to progress forward with a major
milestone of the first shipment of ore from COSE processed with
higher than anticipated recoveries." Mr. Heath continued, "The
transition of our two royalties on Pan American Silver's mines
moving from development to production will add further
diversification of our cash flow in 2020 and continues to advance
what we believe to be one of the most exciting development
portfolios of royalties."
COSE & JOAQUIN (1.5% & 2.0%
NSR)
Pan American Silver Corp. ("Pan American") disclosed in
their Q3 MD&A on November 6, 2019
that it hauled stockpiled ore from COSE to its Manantial Espejo
plant at the end of Q3 2019 with a total milled to-date of 410
tonnes at 42.6 g/t gold and 1,688 g/t silver. Although this is a
limited amount of high-grade COSE ore treated so far, the
calculated mill recoveries rates were 95.6% for gold and 86.0% for
silver, both rates greater than anticipated.
Pan American spent a combined US$5.2
million on its Joaquin and COSE projects during Q3 2019.
Waste development resumed at COSE at the end of Q3 2019, while
recommencing mining activities in the ore zones is pending a review
of the ground control management procedures and the results of a
geotechnical drilling program, which is anticipated to be completed
in Q4 2019. Development activities resumed at Joaquin in Q3 2019,
and both ore and waste headings are currently active. Ore is being
stockpiled on surface prior to transporting to the Manantial Espejo
plant for processing.
