Dual-listed Fortuna Silver has started irrigation and leaching of ore placed on the heap leach pad at the Lindero gold project, in Salta, Argentina.
First gold pour is expected in early October, which will mark the start of production at the company’s third producing mine.
“In spite of all the restrictions and challenges brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, we are managing to successfully advance Lindero in a safe and secure manner for our personnel and neighbour,” said CEO Jorge Ganoza.
