Hochschild prioritises brownfield exploration at its existing sites, such as the flagship Inmaculada mine, to efficiently expand resources and extend the life of its operations.

Hochschild is actively developing new projects like Monte do Carmo in Brazil and Volcan in Chile, aiming to significantly increase production to 500,000 ounces of gold equivalent by 2029. BEST MOMENTS "I believe that the value of the mining business is what you discover." "Efficiency is everything in this business because you need to make sure that you are the one that produces at the lowest cost possible." "The most important thing for us is people, talent, and culture." "There is a real demand for gold... and with silver is happening exactly the same... there are only a few silver new deposits in the world."
