Endeavour Silver cuts Guanacevi mill throughput after ball mill mechanical issue
EXK•Mechanical issue hits Guanaceví primary ball mill
Endeavour Silver identified a mechanical issue in the primary ball mill at its Guanaceví mine.
The mill went offline Sept. 21 for replacement of the mill head and trunnion, with repairs expected to take about three weeks.
Throughput is set to drop to 600 tonnes per day during repairs, versus normal capacity of about 1,100 tonnes per day.
Mining is continuing, limiting disruption to processing operations.
