January to May 2022 Production

The Company continues with its commitment to increase production and the quality of the final products, with achieving planned production levels for June and beyond being a priority objective of all employees.

“The increased production we are achieving reflects the transition to open pit mining at Penouta and the commissioning of a new primary crushing plant,” said Jaime Perez Branger, CEO of Strategic Minerals. “We are pleased with the work of the men and women who have made possible the incremental evolution during the start-up by reaching open pit production with increased production figures and product quality in the short term. We expect to continue this trend and meet our guidance targets set at 75-90 tons of concentrate by the end of June.”
