Sonora Mine Site Visit: Timmins Gold Corp.- By: Simon Russell, GoldSeek.com Mining Analyst
Timmins Gold Corp. is a Canadian based mining and development company with a portfolio of exploration properties in northern Mexico, who also owns and operates the San Francisco mine. Recently GoldSeek.coms President Peter Spina and I visited the companys flagship mine in Sonora State. Peter had previously visited in 2007 soon after their IPO and first drill results were announced. Today the San Francisco gold mine is a state of the art modern open pit and heap leach operation that is on target to produce over 100,000 ounces of gold in 2012, and is undergoing an expansion to produce at least 130,000 ounces in 2013. Their exploration drilling has also increased the total Resource to over 2.92 million ounces of gold, which includes 1.33 million ounces of Reserves.
