Fresnillo reports rise in profitability, despite Covid-19 impact

Higher gold and silver prices, along with higher volumes of zinc and lead sold, contributed in a 5.3% year-on-year increase in Mexico-based precious metal miner Fresnillo’s revenue to $1.12-billion for the six months ended June 30.

The miner has declared an interim dividend of $16.9-million, equating to $0.023 a share.
