Underground mining operations at Apuradita continue at a steady rate of 400 to 600 tonnes of mineralized material mined per month, subject to operating conditions and the availability of suitable mineralized material. Underground mining activities have progressed following the development of additional mining faces, equipment upgrades, and increased manpower. The Company is advancing additional mining faces through crosscuts and drifts to extract silver-bearing mineralized material from newly accessed areas. As outlined in the news release dated July 8, 2024, silver-mineralized material at Apuradita is being extracted using the shrinkage stoping method. The two stopes are designed with approximate dimensions of 30 meters in length, 20 meters in height, and 2.5 meters in width.
