London-listed Hochschild achived a strong start to this year, with attributable production of 121 367 gold-equivalent ounces or 9.8-million silver-equivalent ounces for the quarter ended March 31. This was mostly as a result of "another solid quarter" from its Inmaculada mine, in Peru, and a consistent by its San Jose mine, in Argentina, and was achieved despite the absence of a meaningful contribution from the Arcata mine, in Peru, which was placed on care and maintenance in February.
