Excellon sees stable Q4 production

Having ramped up production at its Mexico-based Platosa mine, TSX-listed silver miner Excellon removed a major bottleneck and demonstrated stable fourth-quarter production despite dry mining conditions. "We have more work to do though, as we are working through normal course transitional issues as we ramp up to higher production rates,” said CEO Brendan Cahill in a statement released Tuesday. In October, the company successfully commissioned the second tailings management facility (TMF) at its mill in Miguel Auza, Zacatecas.
