Ron Clayton, Tahoe's President and CEO, commented, "We are well on the way to a record year in 2016, including achieving our key production and cost guidance. Escobal is having an outstanding year with both production and unit costs running at or better than expected levels. Driven by our strong results at Escobal, we are on track to pay over $35 million in royalties and taxes in Guatemala in 2016, in addition to paying approximately $20 million in wages and benefits and making significant direct investments in support of nutritional programs, education, skills training, agriculture and infrastructure development in the communities surrounding the mine. We have over 1,000 employees at Escobal, 97% of whom are Guatemalan. We very much appreciate the efforts of our employees and the strong support we receive from the surrounding community.

"Turning to gold, our Bell Creek shaft project is off to an excellent start, having commenced the first vertical raise near the end of the third quarter. The shaft project is a key component of our growth program, which will add about 40,000 ounces of new production annually starting in 2018. Looking at Q3 2016 gold production, we were adversely affected by drought conditions at Shahuindo during the quarter and delayed development at the Timmins mines. These issues have been resolved and we expect to return to planned production levels in the fourth quarter.  Full-year gold production is estimated to be within our guidance range of 370,000 to 430,000 ounces.    

"Looking at our financial position, our record cash flow per share and strong balance sheet position us to fund our near-term growth internally, while also sustaining one of the industry's most attractive dividends."

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Silver Operations

Escobal
Average mill throughput at the Escobal mine during Q3 2016 was 4,472 tonnes per day ("tpd") at an average silver head grade of 444 grams per tonne ("gpt") compared to average mill throughput of 4,446 tpd at an average silver head grade of 508 gpt in the third quarter of 2015 ("Q3 2015"). The mine produced metal concentrates containing 5.0 million ounces of silver, 2,314 ounces of gold, 2,017 tonnes of lead and 2,974 tonnes of zinc during Q3 2016 compared to 5.8 million ounces of silver, 3,744 ounces of gold, 2,862 tonnes of lead and 4,033 tonnes of zinc for the same period in 2015. The average silver recovery to concentrates was 84.8% versus 87.1% in Q3 2015, with the reduction reflecting lower grades and the introduction of ore from the East Zone to the process plant.

During Q3 2016, 5,072 dry metric tonnes ("dmt") of lead concentrate and 5,845 dry metric tonnes of zinc concentrate containing approximately 4.8 million payable ounces of silver were shipped and sold to third party smelters compared to 6,687 dmt of lead concentrate and 6,113 dmt of zinc concentrate containing approximately 5.5 million payable ounces of silver shipped and sold during Q3 2015. Concentrate sales during the quarter generated $103.5 million in revenues at mine operating costs of $47.7 million resulting in mine operating earnings of $55.8 million.  Concentrate sales for Q3 2015 generated $82.6 million in revenues at operating costs of $60.0 million resulting in a mine operating earnings of $22.6 million. Cost and productivity improvements in the mine and mill, coupled with favorable diesel fuel prices, continue to drive low production costs. Every 10% change in the price of diesel fuel impacts Escobal's total cash costs and AISC by approximately $0.10 per ounce. The average price of diesel fuel used in power generation in Q3 YTD 2016 was approximately $2.00 per gallon compared to an assumed price of $2.60 per gallon used for the Company's original 2016 cost guidance.  

Total cash costs for Q3 2016 were $6.50 per silver ounce, an improvement of $0.25 per ounce or 4% compared to Q3 2015. The reduction reflected lower enacted statutory royalty rates and cost and operating efficiencies achieved in the mine, offset by the impact of lower planned grades. AISC were $8.68 per ounce in Q3 2016, an improvement of $1.04 per ounce or 11%, with lower cash costs and the timing of capital expenditures largely accounting for the reduction.

A total of 2,222 metres of development was completed during Q3 2016, with the majority of production coming from primary and secondary transverse long-hole stopes in the Central Zone. Production continued in the East Zone with approximately 70,000 tonnes of ore brought to surface during the quarter. 

Gold Operations

La Arena
A total of 3.4 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 0.53 gpt was placed on the leach pad during Q3 2016 compared to 3.3 million tonnes at an average gold grade of 0.63 gpt during Q3 2015. Ore tonnes mined totaled 3.8 million tonnes at a strip ratio of 2.22 compared to 3.2 million tonnes of ore mined at a strip ratio of 1.83 in Q3 2015.

There were 48,516 gold ounces produced in doré and 56,579 gold ounces sold during Q3 2016 compared to 57,415 gold ounces produced in doré and 57,053 gold ounces sold in Q3 2015. Production during Q3 2016 and Q3 YTD 2016 benefited from positive grade reconciliations. Gold sales during Q3 2016 generated $64.0 million in revenue at mine operating costs of $32.8 million resulting in mine operating earnings of $31.2 million. Q3 2015 gold sales generated $63.2 million in revenues at mine operating costs of $45.6 million resulting in mine operating earnings of $17.6 million.

Total cash costs per ounce of gold produced, net of by-product credits, averaged $593 in Q3 2016, an increase of $45 per ounce or 8% compared with Q3 2015. The increase resulted from planned lower grades based on the current mine plan. AISC for Q3 2016 averaged $864 per ounce, an increase of $135 per ounce or 19% compared with the same period in 2015 reflecting lower grades and increased capital expenditures. 

Sustaining capital projects during Q3 2016 included planned extensions to the leach pad phase 4A3 and the waste dump phases 3B and 4B.

Shahuindo
Commercial production commenced at Shahuindo effective May 1, 2016. The mine's Q3 2016 production, unit costs and profitability were affected by severe drought conditions experienced in north-central Peru beginning in the second quarter of 2016 ("Q2 2016"). As a result, the irrigation area on the leach pad was temporarily reduced during Q2 2016 due to a decrease in the availability of process water. Successful efforts to increase the permanent water supply during Q3 2016 have allowed the area under irrigation to return to planned levels. Run-of-mine ore continued to be placed on the leach pads at planned rates during the third quarter, which increased gold inventories in the heap to levels higher than anticipated. The Company expects to lower heap inventory and increase gold production over the next several quarters as a result of increased water availability and operating improvements.

Gold produced in doré during Q3 2016 totaled 10,099 gold ounces. A total of 0.7 million tonnes was placed on pads during Q3 2016 at an average grade of 0.80 gpt gold. A total of 1.5 million tonnes of ore was mined during Q3 2016 at a strip ratio of 0.64.

Gold sales during Q3 2016 totaled 7,040 ounces, which generated revenue of $9.6 million at mine operating costs of $8.1 million, resulting in mine operating earnings of $1.5 million.   

Total cash costs, net of by-product credits, for Q3 2016 were $742 per ounce, while AISC were $990 per ounce. Costs were impacted by lower than anticipated recoveries, as well as lower tonnage available for leaching due to the drought conditions.

Capital projects during Q3 2016 included construction of the second leach pad, which advanced to 86% completion with 10.7 hectares of liner placed by the end of the quarter. The solution canal connecting pad 2A to the existing pad was completed in Q3 2016. Construction of the life-of-mine waste dump facility and leach pad platform were in progress at quarter end.

Engineering for the 12,000 tpd crushing and agglomeration circuit has been completed; equipment fabrication and procurement is ongoing with initial equipment delivery scheduled for Q4 2016. Site layout definition, earthworks and civil works engineering are nearing completion. Commissioning of the circuit, originally scheduled for March 2017, is now expected in Q3 2017 primarily due to permitting delays. The Company expects to complete the permitting process during Q1 2017 and is actively pursuing options to accelerate this timeline. Based on improved run-of-mine leaching results to date, management is now reassessing the need to construct an additional 24,000 tpd crushing and agglomeration circuit in order to achieve total production of 36,000 tpd.

Timmins Mines
The Company's Timmins mines (includes the Timmins West and Bell Creek mining operations) processed a total of 302,579 tonnes during Q3 2016 at an average grade of 3.99 gpt and an average recovery rate of 96.6% for a total of 37,490 recovered gold ounces.  A total of 35,473 ounces of gold were produced in doré in Q3 2016 while 43,421 ounces were sold. Sales during the quarter generated $57.8 million in revenues at mine operating costs of $34.6 million for mine operating earnings of $23.2 million.

Total cash costs for Q3 2016 averaged $635 per ounce, with the increase from the previous quarter resulting from slightly lower grades as scheduled in the mine plan.  AISC for Q3 2016 were $1,112 per ounce reflecting on-going capitalized ramp and sub-level development advancements.

Underground ramp and sublevel development at both Timmins West and Bell Creek continued in support of the life-of-mine production schedules, with 5,149 metres of total development completed during Q3 2016.  At Timmins West, infrastructure development at the 144 Gap deposit advanced, including ramp, raise and lateral development to access the resource.

The Bell Creek shaft project achieved significant progress in Q3 2016. Mobile equipment was received and lateral development on the first two of five horizons was completed. Vertical development commenced from the 535 metre level towards the 300 metre level via mechanized raise climbing method. The existing, dormant hoisting plant was audited, yielding only minor deficiencies. Repairs to the plant have been completed and the hoist is ready to support rehabilitation of the existing shaft. Engineering and procurement is progressing on schedule.  Site infrastructure work has also commenced in preparation for the civil works around the new hoisting plant and electrical substation footprint.

Construction of the Phase 4 North tailings facility expansion at the Bell Creek mill was completed at the end of Q3 2016.  

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company signed an Impact Benefits Agreement ("IBA") relating to the Company's Bell Creek mine and surrounding properties with the Mattagami, Wahgoshig, Matachewan and Flying Post First Nation communities in the Timmins area of Northern Ontario. The IBA establishes a framework for continued consultation relating to the Company's existing and future operations in and around Timmins, and provides long-term financial benefits to the four First Nation communities as well as opportunities in such areas as new business ventures, employment, training and education.

Qualified Person Statement
Technical information in this press release has been approved by Charlie Muerhoff, Vice President Technical Services, Tahoe Resources Inc., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.

Cautionary Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures throughout this document which include total cash costs, total production costs, all-in sustaining costs per silver and per gold ounce ("all-in sustaining costs"), adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share. These measures are not defined under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation. The Company's Escobal mine produces primarily silver in concentrates with other metals (gold, lead and zinc), produced simultaneously in the mining process, the value of which represents a small percentage of the Company's revenue and is therefore considered "byproduct". The Company's La Arena, Shahuindo and Timmins mines produce primarily gold with other metals (primarily silver), produced simultaneously in the mining process, the value of which represents a small percentage of the Company's revenue and is therefore considered byproduct. The Company believes these measures will provide investors and analysts with useful information about the Company's underlying earnings, cash costs of operations, the impact of byproduct credits on the Company's cost structure and its ability to generate cash flow, as well as providing a meaningful comparison to other mining companies. Accordingly, these measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be substituted for GAAP measures.

Consolidated adjusted earnings (loss) and consolidated adjusted earnings (loss) per share
The Company has adopted the reporting of consolidated adjusted earnings (loss) ("adjusted earnings (loss)") and consolidated adjusted earnings (loss) per share ("adjusted earnings (loss) per share") as a non-GAAP measure of a precious metals mining company's operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from operations. This measure has no standardized meaning and the Company's presentation of adjusted measures are not meant to be substituted for GAAP measures of consolidated earnings (loss) or consolidated earnings (loss) per share and should be read in conjunction with such GAAP measures. Adjusted earnings (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per share are calculated as earnings (loss) excluding i) non-cash impairment losses and reversals on mineral interest and other assets, ii) unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses related to the revaluation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities on non-monetary items, iii) unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses related to other items, iv) unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, v) non-recurring provisions, vi) gains or losses on sale of assets and vii) any other non-recurring adjustments and the related tax impact of these adjustments calculated at the statutory effective rate for the same jurisdiction as the adjustment. Non-recurring adjustments from unusual events or circumstances are reviewed periodically based on materiality and the nature of the event or circumstance. The Company calculates adjusted earnings (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per share on a consolidated basis.

Total cash costs and total production costs
The Company reports total cash costs and total production costs on a silver ounce and a gold ounce produced basis for the Escobal mine and the La Arena, Shahuindo and Timmins mines, respectively. The Company follows the recommendation of the cost standard as endorsed by the Silver Institute (the "Institute") for the reporting of cash costs (silver) and the generally accepted standard of reporting cash costs (gold) by precious metal mining companies. The Institute is a nonprofit international association with membership from across the silver industry. The Institute serves as the industry's voice in increasing public understanding of the many uses and values of silver. This remains the generally accepted standard for reporting cash costs of production by precious metal mining companies. Total cash costs and total production costs are divided by the number of silver ounces contained in concentrate or gold ounces recovered from the leach pads to calculate per ounce figures. When deriving the production costs associated with an ounce of silver or gold, the Company deducts byproduct credits from sales which are incidental to producing silver and gold.

All-in sustaining costs
The Company has also adopted the reporting of all-in sustaining costs as a non-GAAP measure of a precious metals mining company's operating performance and the ability to generate cash flow from operations. This measure has no standardized meaning and the Company has utilized an adapted version of the guidance released by the World Gold Council, the market development organization for the gold industry. The World Gold Council is not a regulatory industry organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards or disclosure requirements.

All-in sustaining costs include total cash costs incurred at the Company's mining operation, sustaining capital expenditures, corporate administrative expense, exploration and evaluations costs, and reclamation and closure accretion. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure represents the total costs of producing silver and gold from its operation, and provides additional information of the Company's operational performance and ability to generate cash flows to support future capital investments and to sustain future production.

These non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently by other companies depending on the underlying accounting principles and policies applied.

For additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures (including reconciliations to IFRS measures and by-product credit calculations, as applicable), see Tahoe's management's discussion and analysis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 available at www.tahoeresources.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. For information on how Lake Shore Gold has historically disclosed these non-GAAP measures (including reconciliations to IFRS measures, as applicable), see Lake Shore Gold's management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2015, also available on SEDAR.
