CEO Alvaro Espinoza shared, "Our dedicated permitting and legal teams have worked tirelessly to ensure our commitment to revitalizing the Reliquias Mine. This recognition not only marks a pivotal moment for Silver Mountain but also underscores our contribution towards boosting the local economy. With the Reliquias Mine and Caudalosa Plant now recognized as active sites, we maintain our existing environmental permits, allowing us to recommence operations without further governmental approvals."
Key Highlights:
Ongoing Operations Status: The Ministry's confirmation validates the Company's efforts in demonstrating the operational history and readiness of the Reliquias-Caudalosa mining complex, following our proactive stance during a period of production suspension due to low metal prices.
Environmental Compliance: All existing permits from previous operations remain fully enforceable, enabling the Company to operate under the original mine footprint without the need for additional environmental clearances.
Local Economic Impact: Our commitment to the community is unwavering; a future decision to restart operations is anticipated to revitalize the local economy and create job opportunities.
