Operating Overview
The Company produced 45,452 ounces during the first quarter of 2021 from 419,340 tonnes of ore processed at a grade of 3.54 g/t and recovery of 91.3%. The Limon mill processed 124,149 tonnes at a grade of 4.42 g/t and a recovery of 89.3%, producing 16,337 ounces. The Libertad mill processed 295,191 tonnes at a grade of 3.17 g/t and a recovery of 92.4%, producing 29,115 ounces.
During the past quarter, the Company added the new ‘Mining Spoke’ at Pavon Norte, ahead of schedule and well within budget. During the quarter, the Company transported ~350 tonnes per day (“tpd”) from Pavon Norte to the Libertad mill and expects this to increase throughout the year to ~1,000 tpd. Pavon Norte contributed more than 3,000 ounces to Libertad’s total production in the first quarter, with 31,983 tonnes of ore trucked at a grade of 3.25 g/t, positively impacting Libertad mill’s grade and providing increased flexibility.
The Company will continue to optimize its consolidated mine and process plans as we progress our ‘Hub-and-Spoke’ operating strategy to maximize value from our integrated asset base.
