During fiscal 2008, it was decided to process this gold mineralization.
To try to maintain the past levels of annual gold production, a
generator and ball mill were commissioned in June 2009 to increase
throughput to about 2,000 tonnes per day at the Don Mario Mine.
Nonetheless, year-on-year production will decrease. The potential to discover
more gold on trend with the Las Tojas deposit is high and exploration is
ongoing.
