Kuya Silver starts production in Bethania Silver Mine

Bethania Silver Mine

Kuya Silver has announced in the press release that the production in Bethania Silver Mine has started. The exploitation begins from the Española vein system at the 640 level. Mineralized material is being hauled to the surface using the pre-existing decline and a surface winch.

Exploitation

Kuya Silver informs that in the coming months, the company will continue reconditioning at the 640 and 670 levels, and develop production access for the 12 de Mayo and Victoria vein systems. Production is expected to progressively ramp up to an initial target of 350 tons per day.

Initial production is being stockpiled at the mine to be transported in larger batches for milling. While the first processing batch may take a month or more, we anticipate transitioning to producing a processing batch every few days as operations scale.

Milestone

Christian Aramayo commented: „Achieving first production from the Bethania mine is a monumental milestone for Kuya Silver and signifies the beginning of increased production in this rich silver district. The dedication of the Kuya Silver team in Peru has been instrumental in reaching this point, demonstrating perseverance and proficiency while fostering a strong culture of safety and care for our surroundings.”
