Commentary on Operations

Tambomayo:

  • Gold and silver production slightly exceeded projections for the first quarter 2025, primarily due to higher than expected ore volumes processed.

  • Zinc and lead production also exceeded expectations due to increased processed ore volumes and higher-than-anticipated ore grades from stopes in the bottom section of the mine.
