Given his exceptional understanding of the geology of Carlin-type and other epithermal gold deposits, Larry will bring particular expertise to the ongoing exploration and evaluation of our Pedro Gold Project in México.”

Mike Struthers, CEO, commented: “We are pleased to start this infill program at our Pinos project. Drilling is expected to commence within a few days.”

Hernan Dorado, Director and COO said: “We are very pleased with the swift pace with which we have brought the combined El Cubo and El Pinguico operation back into commercial production. The ongoing ramp-up, and continual improvements of tonnes mined and processed, head grade, and metallurgical recoveries is continuing.”

“Operationally the Zimapan Mine had an excellent year as we were able to increase throughput by 17% compared to 2020. This production increase compensated for production losses realized by placing the Rosario Mine into care and maintenance during the year.” commented Carlos Silva, CEO.
