Commenting on Silvermex’s first quarter results, Duane Nelson, CEO, stated, "Our first quarter of production at the La Guitarra mine since the business arrangement between Genco Resources Ltd. and Silver One Mining Corporation, resulted in a noticeable improvement in mill efficiency, grade increases and better recoveries. We expect to continue advancing the mine to achieve full capacity by Q4 and are very pleased with the positive financial results produced thus far."

Revenues for the period, which totaled $3.9 million, remained fairly consistant with the three months ended December 31, 2010, however, this was achieved on fewer tons sold but with an improved average ore grade in this period and significantly higher realized metal prices.

The Company achieved a gross profit of $1.7 million on silver and gold sales of $3.9 million. There were no sales for the comparative period as the La Guitarra mine was not operating due to closure of the mine. The Company incurred a net loss of $897,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, compared with net loss of $1.4 million for the same period in 2010.

At March 31, 2011, the Company had working capital of $25.7 million, cash on hand and short term investments of $21.2 million and current assets of $30.1 million. Operating activities used cash of $3.3 million, compared with cash used of $835,000 for the same period in 2010. This was mostly due to the Company posting at $3.6 million tax bond in Mexico on a disputed tax reassessment. Excluding the tax bond, cash generated from operations was $250,000.

"The quarter’s major capital expenditures included mine equipment acquisitions and refurbishments, construction of a water treatment facility, safety initiatives and the redevelopment of the existing production areas, as well as the delineation and development of new ore zones," stated Michael Callahan, Silvermex’s President. "Even with the mine undergoing major redevelopments, the Company generated positive cash flow from its operations. Over the next few months we will continue to recompile all of the data we have acquired into a comprehensive resource model, as well as conduct exploration and drilling programs, which will assist in guiding our future exploration and resource expansion programs."

Silvermex Resources Inc. is a publicly traded mining company focused in Mexico, and led by a highly qualified team of professionals from some of the most notable companies in the silver mining sector. The Company’s portfolio of projects ranges from advanced stage exploration to production.
