The complaint, which was filed in August but announced only on Thursday, centers on remediation funding for eight polluted townships in Sonora.
“Our operations continued to deliver strong performance during the quarter and we’re on track to meet our 2023 guidance,” said Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO. “We are extremely pleased with the production trajectory at Santa Elena, with Ermitaño’s metal recovery and mill throughput reaching another quarterly record in Q3, combined with high silver and gold grades. Over the past years, we deployed several projects and technologies at Santa Elena which are now paying off and we are excited about the future of this operation.”
Kootenay’s President & CEO, James McDonald states, “On a silver equivalent basis, the project is now estimated to host 162.8 million ounces M+I and 44.4 million ounces inferred. On a silver only basis, the M+I resource for silver are estimated to total 68.2 million ounces with another 17.6 million ounces inferred.”
“Silver production continues to grow with almost a million ounces more this year compared to the first three quarters last year,” said Phillips S. Baker, Jr., Hecla’s President and CEO. “Despite less production at the Lucky Friday, Greens Creek’s consistent performance and the ramp-up of Keno Hill should allow us to be within our 2023 guidance of 14.5 to 15.5 million ounces.”
