SnapshotDue to Minera Frisco's strategy for 2023, the Ocampo unit did not contribute processed tonnage since the fourth quarter of 2023 because the efforts are primarily focused on the exploration and development of areas that will facilitate the future exploitation of ore reserves, ensuring the unit's profitability.

As part of Minera Frisco's strategy for 2025, the Ocampo unit will continue not to contribute processed tonnage, as it will focus primarily on the exploration and development of areas that will facilitate the future development of mineral reserves.
