Pallancata Dispute Resolved
Hochschild Mining plc ("Hochschild" or "the Company") announces that an agreement has been reached between the Company and a local community at its Pallancata mine in Peru and consequently the mine will re-commence operations by 25 January 2017. As disclosed in a release dated 15 December 2016, the operation had temporarily stopped production due to a road blockade by community members.
The Company confirms that, despite the stoppage, Pallancata's 2017 production forecast of 6 million silver equivalent ounces and associated all-in sustaining cost guidance (as per18 January 2017 press release) are not affected.
