First Majestic Silver reported that it produced 20,767 ounces of gold at its San Dimas mine, located in Durango, Mexico.

In particular, the San Dimas mine is the 10th gold producer in Mexico, with a total of 71,600 ounces in 2020.

In addition, San Dimas produced 1 million 888,371 ounces of silver, which represents an increase of 1% compared to the previous quarter.

San Dimas Mine

From July to September 2021, the San Dimas plant processed 214,205 tons with average silver and gold grades of 289 g / t and 3.14 g / t, respectively.

First Majestic Silver expects silver and gold grades to increase in the fourth quarter, as a significant high-grade area within the Central Block’s Jessica vein came online in September.

Also, silver and gold recoveries during the quarter averaged 95 and 96%, respectively.
