Update re Santa Cruz Regional Lockdown
Hochschild Mining PLC ("Hochschild" or "the Company") is today
announcing that a significant increase in Covid-19 infections in
the Santa Cruz province in Argentina has resulted in a temporary
lockdown of various mines. The Company's San Jose operation has
therefore been mandated to halt operations and is currently
undertaking a deep-clean of the site's facilities and equipment.
Subject to permission from the authorities, Hochschild is expecting
to restart limited operations on 4 December 2020.
The stoppage is not expected to affect the Company's revised
full year guidance of between 280,000-290,000 gold equivalent
ounces or 24.0-25.0 million silver equivalent ounces.
