TORONTO, ON – Americas Gold and Silver Corporation, President and CEO Darren Blasutti, said, “Relief Canyon construction significantly advanced toward first gold production this year and the Company increased its precious metal reserves by approximately 250% year over year.” Re-development of the Relief Canyon open pit is advancing to support a smooth ramp-up in material movement.  Efforts have focused on pioneering of the ultimate high wall and initial waste movement from the pit area.  Construction continues at a rapid pace as the Company prepares to pour gold before the end of the year. Leach pad construction is approximately 90% complete with approximately 3,000,000 square feet of liner now installed.  Over-liner crushing is complete and placement of the material is advancing with the liner deployment. The primary crusher has been set on its concrete pad and installation is progressing in parallel with that of the crushed ore reclaim tunnel and overland conveyor. All grasshopper conveyors have been delivered.

Initial ore placement is targeted with solution application to begin shortly thereafter. The ADR plant is receiving its final upgrades including the installation of new mercury abatement equipment and a revamped electrowinning area. Commercial production anticipated by the end of Q1, 2020.
