commented "
From our earliest successful exploration program at Chinchillas in 2012
we were convinced that this deposit had the potential to reach commercial production. We thank our partners for their successful
execution of this latest stage of the project and look forward to a long and robust mine life to provide value to our shareholders as we
continue on our growth path."
In their news release dated
December 3, 2018
, Puna's operating partner, SSR Mining, reported:
"Activities required to support sustainable ore delivery from the Chinchillas mine to the Pirquitas plant have been completed, including pre-
stripping of the pit, completion of road bypasses, refurbishment and mobilization of the haul truck fleet, and construction of the crushed
ore stockpile dome at the Pirquitas site. Ore delivery to the Pirquitas plant ramped up through November, and we demonstrated
targeted haulage rates. The Pirquitas plant processed Chinchillas ore at a rate of approximately 3,000 tonnes per day during test
processing. We expect to progressively increase to our targeted plant throughput rate of 4,000 tonnes per day as the plant transitions to
Chinchillas ore in
December 2018
.
The remaining scope of the Chinchillas project includes the completion of various infrastructure at the Chinchillas and Pirquitas sites,
which is expected to be concluded through the first quarter of 2019. The entire project scope is on track to be completed on budget."
