“We mined a record 74,876 tonnes from Platosa in 2019, the most in our 15-year operating history,” stated Brendan Cahill, President and CEO. “At Miguel Auza, we processed record tonnage of 89,478 tonnes for the year and 26,226 tonnes for Q4 from Platosa and Hecla’s San Sebastian Mine, demonstrating continued scalability in the milling operation. During the fourth quarter, flow sheet upgrades resulted in improved silver recoveries of over 91.7%. We expect zinc recoveries to further improve with ongoing upgrades.”
