The company is at an advanced stage of the refurbishment and construction of La Tesorera processing plant. The Plant, which is expected to have begun commissioning by the end of 2014, is projected to deliver substantial cost savings against the previous toll milling operations. With reduced operating costs, the company should enjoy significantly higher operating margins than would otherwise have been achievable under previous toll milling arrangements under the same conditions. The completion of the construction of the Plant will be a significant development for the business and a critical event as the business moves towards the execution of its long-term strategy.
