SnapshotThe Concheno mining unit previously operated with both open-pit and underground mining methods. However, as of 2023, the open-pit operations have ceased due to the exhaustion of open-pit reserves, and the mine is now exclusively active as an underground operation.

The production of precious metals decreased in 2023 and 2024. This decline is mainly due to the strategic decision by management a reduction in production at the Concheño mine, which exhausted its open-pit reserves.

In the first quarter of 2025, Concheño continues development and exploration work with the goal of gradually increasing processed tonnage through selective exploitation of mineral reserves.
