COEUR MINING
deposits add high grade value and reserves to Palmarejo operation .
The “ Ambassadors ” program detects workers with leadership skills , providing them special and extensive training
Infrastructure for the Guadalupe underground mine was deployed and set up to ramp up operations , achieving commercial production in record time . These operations have proved themselves to have great potential to offer high grade material , especially in comparison with previous open pit efforts .
One of the challenges brought by this discovery was to achieve full production . In addition , the staff that had previously worked in open pits had to adapt their skills to underground operations with different equipment and machinery .
“ The staff completed the transition , and this production success is a result of the transition itself ,” said Reyes .
The transition towards underground operations was gradual but safe . Today , workers process between 2,500 and 3,000 tonnes per day , with the aim of increasing to 4,000 or 4,500 tonnes per day . The current reserves come in at 9.1 million tonnes , generating 44.9 million ounces of silver and 690,000 ounces of gold .
