Canada’s only primary silver mine achieves commercial production

Global gold production will peak at about 3,250 tonnes (105 million oz.) next year, according to CRU's Oliver Blagden.

With a personal investment of $225 million on the line, much is at stake for Rob McEwen with the success of McEwen Copper’s flagship Los Azules project in Argentina.

The funds will go towards the construction of a hydroelectric transmission line, an on-site substation and electrical vehicle charging infrastructure.

The Vancouver-based gold miner said it expects gold production at Bibiani to exceed 15,000 oz. per month by mid-year.
