Vancouver, B.C. — Starcore International Mines Ltd. (the “Company”) announces production results for the fiscal 2016 1st quarter, ending October 31, 2015, at its San Martin Mine in Queretaro, Mexico.

During Q1, a total of 78,016 tonnes were milled at an average grade of 2.22 g/t gold and 21 g/t silver resulting in the production of 5,195 gold equivalent ounces. Mill recoveries averaged 86.6% for gold and 53.8% for silver. Equivalent gold ounce calculation is based on the actual daily average gold:silver ratio of 74.92 during the quarter.

Operations have resulted in a 10.7% increase in equivalent ounce production compared to fiscal 2015 Q4 with reported 4,694 gold equivalent ounces, and are even better when compared to 2015 Q3 which produced 4,423 gold equivalent ounces.

The discovery in July and rapid development of a previously unknown manto lens in area 30 have enabled the mine to maintain consistent production in each month during the quarter.
