Canada’s Yamana Gold Inc. (TSX: YRI) (NYSE: AUY) said it poured Tuesday first gold and silver dor\u00e9 at its Cerro Moro mine<\/a>, located in Argentina’s Santa Cruz province.<\/p>\n

The Toronto-based miner, which began construction at Cerro Moro in 2015 and expects to finish building it this year, said ramp-up remained on track, with commercial production expected in the second quarter of the year.<\/p>\n

Once at full tilt the mine is expected to yield 85,000 ounces of gold and 3.75 million ounces of silver this year.<\/p>\n

The company expects most of Cerro Moro’s 2018 production in the second half of the year. <\/q><\/p>\n

For 2019, Cerro Moro’s production should rise to 125,000 gold ounces and 6 million silver ounces. The additional output should help Yamana’s plans to ramp up gold production by 20% and its silver production by a whopping 200% next year.<\/p>\n

Cerro Moro is a high-grade, low-cost gold and silver operation sourcing ore from a combination of underground and open-pit mining.<\/p>\n

The company has other five mines in South America and one in its home country \u2014 the Canadian Malartic mine, which the company owns as part of a 50\/50 joint venture (JV) with Agnico Eagle Mines.<\/p>\n

The open-pit mine is one of Canada’s largest and boasts a low all-in sustaining cost (AISC) that was below the companywide average of $820 an ounce in 2017.<\/p>\n
