Endeavour Silver report steady progress at its Terronera mine in Jalisco state, Mexico. For the month of July, a total of 57,080 tonnes were milled at Terronera, an average of 1,841 tonnes per day (tpd). Since completing the commissioning phase, throughput has rapidly increased with current milling rates between 1,900 and 2,000 tpd as adjustments to improve recoveries are ongoing in the grinding and flotation circuits. Since July 16, silver and gold recoveries have averaged 71% and 67%, respectively, while processing lower grade material.
Higher-grade material is scheduled for processing soon, while optimization efforts continue. The introduction of higher-grade material is expected to directly enhance recoveries. As higher recoveries are attained, the focus will shift to increasing the milling rate to sustain the designed throughput of 2,000 tpd. “We are very pleased with how well startup has progressed,” commented Don Gray, Chief Operating Officer.
“Our Terronera team has really taken ownership with the mill startup and throughput increase, while simultaneously managing the challenges that arise in the early startup phase. Our focus on implementing our business readiness plan has well-positioned us for successful operation of Endeavour’s next core asset.”
With each phase of the mill ramp-up advancing, Terronera continues to move steadily toward its targeted sustainable production levels and, ultimately, commercial production.
