During the first six months of 2023 the Plant processed 13,786 tonnes of third-party mineral, compared with 14,886 tonnes in 2022 and 11,890 tonnes in 2021. The 2023 year-to-date production represents a decrease of 7.4 % compared to the same period for 2022, and a 16 % increase compared to the same period for 2021. The decrease in production during the first half of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 was due to poor weather conditions whereby the Plant was closed from mid-March until the first week of April. The Plant was at near capacity in May and June. The Company anticipates a further increase in production during the remainder of 2023 and expects to report a record year of production.
The Aguila Norte processing plant has an environmental permit ('IGAC') from the Peruvian government which provides the Plant with the ability to expand operations past the current 100 tonnes per day level.
