“The third quarter was challenging as the team pushed through the final months of the high-strip, low-grade phase of the open pit mine plan, which continued to require the processing of lower-grade and stockpiled material to top up the mill,” Torex President and CEO Jody Kuzenko saidin a news release. “Notwithstanding the short-term challenges associated with strip and grade, the operations continue to deliver with excellence. ELG Underground set another record with an average mining rate of 2,321 tonnes per day (tpd) during the quarter, surpassing the 1,913 tpd record achieved in the prior quarter and affirming our expectations for underground mining rates to consistently achieve 2,000 tpd. Plant performance was also solid, with throughput exceeding 13,000 tpd and recoveries steady despite the lower processed grades.”
Financial and operational results for Q3 2023 will be released after market close on Nov. 14.
