Great Panther Mining expects to have its mothballed 100%-owned Coricancha gold-silver-lead-zinc-copper operation in Peru back in operation in the 1st half of 2020, with full scale production of about 40,000oz pa gold equivalent expected by mid-2021.
The company gave the green-light for Coricancha today, based on final results of the trial stope and bulk sample program, which confirmed the key operating PEA assumptions. A recent 5,089t of mineralized material mined from the Constancia and Escondida veins has been processed through the plant, producing 15,561oz silver, 303oz gold, 107,319lbs lead and 99,889lbs as zinc and lead concentrates.
Gt Panther’s other 2 operating mines are the Tucano Gold Mine in Amapá State, Brazil, and the primary silver Guanajuato and Topia operations in Mexico.
