Fresnillo expects delay, expanded scope for Juanicipio project

Mexican precious metals producer Fresnillo announced Tuesday that the mid-2018 start date for its Juanicipio project will likely not be achieved, with a likely start-up date being pushed forward to the first half of 2019.
Management stated on an analyst conference call Tuesday morning that the operation will likely be bigger than originally planned, which the 2012 study had at 2 600 t/d.
