Hochschild reports lower q/q production

Precious metals miner Hochschild has reported a quarter-on-quarter drop in gold and silver production, owing to a temporary delay at the Inmaculada mine, in Peru.

The London-listed miner delivered attributable production of 72 364 gold-equivalent ounces (GEO), or six-million silver-equivalent ounces, during the second quarter. This compares with 80 960 GEOs in the second quarter last year.
