Active mines

[edit]

Puna Operations

[edit]

The Puna Operations are in the Jujuy Province, Argentina. They include the Chinchillas and Pirquitas mines. The Pirquitas mine is located in north-west Argentina. Reserves there are enough to keep it producing for 14.5 years at an average annual rate of 10 million ounces for silver and 2,500 tonnes for tin.[3] In 2010, its first year of production, it produced 6.3 million ounces of silver, almost 70% of that in the second half.[4][5] According to an analyst at Blackmont it will become "one of the world's primary silver mines".[6]

The Chinchillas mine supplies ore to the Pirquitas processing facility.

Marigold mine

[edit]

Located in Humboldt County, Nevada, United States, the gold mine started operations in 1988.

Seabee Gold Operation

[edit]

Located near Laonil Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada, the mine has started operations in 1991. The Seabee Mine Aerodrome services the mine

Projects

[edit]

In December 2010 it sold the Snowfield and Bruceback projects to Pretium Resources for C$442 million.

In August 2011 it sold Australian silver project Bowdens (97.1 million ounces in measured/inferred silver resources) to gold miner Kingsgate Consolidated for $75 million, $65 million of which will be paid when the deal closes (a portion of which is Kingsgate company shares).[7]
