Sierra Metals: Value in Brownfield Exploration
At the recent Beaver Creek Precious Metals Summit Igor Gonzales, CEO of Sierra Metals (T.SMT) had quite a story to tell. On the one hand, Sierra has three producing mines, two in Mexico and one in Peru. At each of these mines, Sierra is upgrading its operations and increasing the throughput. On the other, Sierra is engaged in significant “brownfield” exploration to extend the resources it already has. “Brownfield exploration,” said Gonzales, “is a cost-effective way to grow. At Beaver Creek, there was a very positive reaction to what we’ll be doing next.”
