Expert Statements
Fernando E. Ganoza, CEO of Atico Mining Corporation
“We are seeing the planned improvements in quarterly production as we overcome the operational challenges faced during the development and preparation of the higher-grade areas of the mine. Gold grade and recovery were particularly strong this period and gets us closer to our gold guidance production. Higher gold production is also having a meaningful positive impact on our all-in sustaining cash costs, while we also benefit from strong revenue driven by higher metal prices”
