Projects
Improve overall recoveries of Au & Ag by processing historical and ongoing tailings from the Fresnillo & Saucito mines The plant will froth float pyrite concentrates that will be leached in a 2,000 tpd dynamic leaching plant and Merrill Crowe plant to produce precipitates
- Detailed engineering continued
- Milling area advanced
- The project will enable sulphides occurring deeper in the
pit to be processed more efficiently
- As a result of the project, the LOM at Herradura will be
extended to 12 years with an annual gold production of 390 koz
