The restart marked exactly a century since the mine first went into production.
Wheaton Precious Metals (NYSE: WPM), one of the world’s largest precious metals streaming companies, has come onboard as a client of Blockhead Technologies, a software company that creates enterprise solutions for the global mining sector.
