Growth Plans To sustain their leadership they seek to produce 62 million ounces of silver and 500 thousand ounces of gold in the various units of Fresnillo PLC by 2018 . Therefore , they started to increase the movement of material in Mine La Herradura and Noche Buena .
With Peñoles Group they delivered their entire metallurgical production to Met-Mex Peñoles , who then refines and markets substances in Mexico and abroad . Additionally they attributed 56 percent of their gold production to Fresnillo PLC and 44 percent to their partner Newmont .
Projections With the upcoming opening of an underground mine in Tajo Centauro and the increased exploration and preparation of pits , Minera Penmont objectives are more than feasible to sustain a production of 600 thousand ounces of gold per year .
“ While we depend on metal prices to visualize the future , we have strategic plans which determine our way forward in the long term ,” says Arredondo .
