Mineros suspends milling plant operations at Hemco

2023-08-02 09:03 ET - News Release

Ms. Patricia Ospina reports

TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE MAIN MILLING PLANT AT THE HEMCO PROPERTY IN NICARAGUA

Mineros SA has temporarily suspended its main milling plant, which processes 89 per cent of the material and disposal of tailings at its Hemco property in Nicaragua.

The suspension is precautionary in nature and is designed to allow for the swift completion of the expansion of its detoxification capacity at the tailings facility prior to hurricane season in Nicaragua. This work had been planned for earlier this year but had been delayed by postpandemic equipment supply constraints. As a result of the shut down, the company has taken this opportunity to move forward certain plant maintenance work that had been scheduled for later this year.

During the suspension period, which is estimated to last for approximately 20 days, industrial and artisanal mining activities will continue, and the Vesmisa and La Curva plants will also continue to operate.

The precautionary suspension is expected to reduce the Hemco property's output by approximately 5,000 ounces to 10,000 ounces of gold for the month of August. Mineros is currently reviewing its mining plan for the Hemco property for the second half of 2023 with a view to minimizing the impact, if any, of this suspension on its production guidance for 2023.
