Attributable silver production of 53.1 moz (including Silverstream), flat
year-on-year and attributable gold production of 751.2 koz, down 2.4%
year-on-year
Silver reserves decreased 8.2% vs. 2020, while gold reserves
decreased 7.1% vs. 2020, primarily driven by depletion of both metals
Labour reform came into effect from 1st September 2021 resulting in
the requirement to internalise a high proportion of our contractor
workforce

We have taken actions to mitigate the impact of the new labour reform
through new recruitment campaigns, training and investment in new
equipment. 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

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 operationsView entire presentation
