El Salvador president proposes bill to overturn metals mining ban
In 2017, El Salvador became the first country in the world to ban forms of metals mining.

The mine is expected to produce between 60,000 to 75,000 ounces of gold in 2023 at an all-in-sustaining cost of between $880 and $1,080 per ounce of gold.
Shares of Fortuna Silver rose 0.23% by 12:40 p.m. EDT. The miner has a market capitalization of C$1.29 billion ($950 million).
