Development

 

> Development Overview

Projects must meet stringent criteria regarding the volume of silver/gold contained and embedded cost.

Economic viability is determined by evaluating factors such as optimal mine design, investment requirements, sustaining capital expenditures and rates of return.

Furthermore, because of our focus on district consolidation, we evaluate potential growth in the same geographic region that may create synergies for new future mines.

During development and construction stages, we maintain tight discipline to ensure adherence to approved schedules and budget.

Additionally, engineering and construction teams work closely with the team that will operate the mine, ensuring smooth transition from construction to commissioning.
