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.
