“Our operations again delivered on target quarterly results while we continue to execute very well on our robust pipeline of growth projects, which together with excellent exploration results from across our portfolio, continues to enhance confidence in our 20/20/20 plan of growing production and reserves by 20%, and reducing AISC by 20% by 2021,” said David Garofalo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldcorp. “The completion of a solid pre-feasibility study at NuevaUnión and the acceleration of study work, exploration and engineering at Century and Norte Abierto underpin our Beyond 20/20 pipeline of potential new long-life, low-cost and large-scale mines.”

“We are very excited about the 2018 exploration program which got underway during the first quarter. The exploration strategy remains unchanged with a focus on reserve replacement and new target generation,” said Paul Harbidge, Senior Vice-President, Exploration. “Leveraging the success we had in 2017 in advancing new targets such as Amerikona at Coffee, and Silica Cap at Cerro Negro, we have an aggressive program ahead of us this year to advance targets from our core assets through conversion of resources into reserves. I’m very confident in our ability to reach our targeted 20% increase in reserves by 2021.”

La minera de metales preciosos Fresnillo Plc reportó el miércoles un alza del 14 por ciento en su producción de plata en el primer trimestre, impulsada por el inicio de las operaciones de la Fase II del complejo San Julián, propiedad de la compañía en México.

Las reservas de las minas en Fresnillo permitirán la operación por los próximos 20 años, estimó Octavio Alvídrez Ortega, director general de Fresnillo plc.
