A one off purchase of new equipment in 2022 will substitute for the loss of contractor equipment following the labour reform, expected to be offset through lower contractors costs in the mid-term Similar grid tie-in delays for the Pyrites Plant at Fresnillo impacted the start-up of the plant, with the commissioning timeline also extended by approximately six months CO The construction of the Juanicipio plant was completed in 4Q21. Permits to connect to the power grid were not granted in 4Q 2021 as anticipated, as a result, the mill commissioning timeline was extended by approximately six months Increased exploration budget for 2021 supported an intensive programme across all our operations
