TSX-listed miner Premier Gold Mines has had a “trying” year at its Mercedes mine, in Sonora, Mexico, which fell short of its guided production last year, producing 59 901 oz of gold and 191 306 oz o silver.
Excessive grade dilution led to lower-than-planned production, the mining company said on Thursday."2019 was a trying year for our Mercedes mine," stated president and CEO Ewan Downie. "However, we believe that we understand the challenges faced by the mine this past year and have a plan in place to address them.”
