Project Description
A feasibility study has confirmed the Miraflores project as financially robust and technically sound.
The project has a maiden ore reserve of 2.99-million tonnes grading 4.35 g/t gold and 3.08 g/t silver. Average yearly production of 45 000 oz of gold and 22 600 oz of silver over 9.5 years is forecast.
The Miraflores feasibility study has not considered any upside that may result from exploration at the nearby Chuscal and Tesorito prospects, where the focus is on defining more resources in high-grade vein systems that could also be mined using underground methods.
