Americas Gold and Silver Announces the Return to Nameplate Mill Production at the Cosalá Operations
01 Décembre 2021 - 1:00PM
Business Wire
Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American:
USAS) (“Americas” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update
to the re-opening of the Company’s Cosalá Operations.
The Los Braceros plant has returned to nameplate production with
a steady source of feed from a combination of existing stockpiled
ore and new production from the mine. San Rafael mine production
continues to ramp-up and does not represent a bottleneck to mill
production.
Initial production will focus on maximizing near-term free cash
flow by mining high-grade zinc-silver areas of the Main Zone which
were fully developed prior to the illegal blockade. Over the course
of the next six months, the mine will continue development into the
Upper Zone, which carries silver grades approximately 5-6 times
higher than the Main Zone. Mining the silver-rich areas of the
Cosalá Operations is expected to significantly increase silver
production to over 2.5 million ounces of silver per year.
“I am pleased to see that the Los Braceros plant has efficiently
returned to nameplate production after a brief ramp-up period,”
stated Americas Gold and Silver President & CEO Darren
Blasutti. “We are currently processing high-grade material through
the mill which should positively impact metal production, revenue
and cashflow through the balance of the year and continue into
2022. I would like to thank our work force for all their efforts in
an efficient and effective return to operations. I am confident the
Company will have a good start to 2022 with the re-opening of the
Cosalá Operations and the strong current metal prices.”
