Mining Accomplishments

FEATURED Projects

Q2/Q3 2021 Successfully Increased mill throughput from 65tph to 135tph.
Updated resource model based on lower cutoff grades economically viable at higher throughputs, facilitated the update of the Life of Mine Plan.
Provided stability and accountability for the execution of the operational plan (implementation of weekly site planning and execution reviews).
Simplified and standardize site wage scales based on skills and responsibilities.
Right sized the workforce to align with core work requirements.

Ramp up and operation of the new mill expansion (50% increase in milling capacity).
Facilitated the update of the Life of Mine Plan, and 5-year strategic plan.
Provided stability and accountability for the execution of the operational plan (2017-2020 were the safest most productive years ever at Toromocho).
Supported optimization of the annual and monthly plans to improve productivity and efficiency.
Successfully maintained the operation throughout the pandemic in 2020 with minimal interruptions to production.

Implemented a continuous improvement process that identified exceptions to base business performance expectations such as recovery, throughput and safety in real time and generated real time actions to address the exceptions while also developing remedial actions aimed at preventing a reoccurrence. These were logged, implemented and tracked.

Achieved a zero citation MSHA inspection in 2011.
14% increase in Mill Throughput and 3% increase in Recovery, achieved by maximizing utilization of horsepower and minimizing over grinding.
Reduced Maintenance/Operating Costs by 10% by properly loading equipment.
Installation of a new regrind cyclone pack (minimized losses in fines due to over grinding).
