TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – April 18, 2017) – Ascendant Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ASND) (“Ascendant” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has significantly improved mine performance since its acquisition of the El Mochito Mine in Honduras in December 2016, with daily milled tonnes (tpd) increasing by 17% from 1,482 in January 2017 to 1,733 tpd in March.
