Hochschild Mining plc

We are a leading underground precious metals producer focusing on high grade silver and gold deposits, with almost 50 years’ operating experience in the Americas.  We have a solid asset base, an extensive project pipeline and a clear strategy. 
 
We currently operate four underground mines, three located in southern Peru and one in southern Argentina.  All of our underground operations are epithermal vein mines and the principal mining method used is cut and fill. The ore at our operations is processed into silver-gold concentrate or dore. 
 
In H1 2013, we produced 6.3 million attributable ounces of silver and 57.9 thousand attributable ounces of gold, a total of  9.7 million attributable silver equivalent ounces. We have a production target of 20.0 attributable silver equivalent ounces for 2013.
 
Hochschild Mining plc is listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange and is headquartered in Lima, Peru. In addition, the Group has offices in Argentina, Chile and Mexico and a corporate office in London.


Our vision & strategy

Our strategy is to create value through optimising our current operations, extensive exploration and opportunistic acquisition.
 
Our strategy is underpinned by our commitment to ensuring a safe and healthy workplace for all of our employees, to manage and minimise the environmental impact of our operations and to encourage sustainability by respecting the communities surrounding our operations.
Core assets
 
Our core assets are a vital part of our strategy. Since our IPO in 2006, we have grown from a Company with three operations in Peru, to one with five operations in three countries, all of which have been delivered on time and on budget.  
 

Core assets

We have a solid, profitable production base and currently operate across four sites, comprising four underground mines, three located in Peru and one in southern Argentina. 
 
As part of our strategy, at our core assets we are focused on improving operational productivity, maximising the life-of-mine and ensuring their long-term sustainibility. Since our IPO we have doubled the overall throughput capacity at our operations and have achieved all of our annual production targets.  We have also consistently increased our resource base and continue to receive positive results from our mines and brownfield exploration.
