- U.S. Silver & Gold held a Q3 2013 conference call to discuss operational and financial results. - The company implemented a Small Mine Plan (SMP) which reduced staffing and operating stopes to focus on the most profitable ounces of silver. This led to a 13% reduction in cash costs and 30% reduction in all-in sustaining costs compared to Q3 2012. - Exploration is focused on expanding high-grade resources near existing infrastructure, particularly the Caladay Zone, to increase profitable production if silver prices rise in the future.
