About the San Francisco Mine
The San Francisco Mine is a simple open pit, heap leach operation with two main pits – San Francisco and La Chicharra. A revitalization plan for the Mine was announced in May 2017 that will see some of the cash flow from operations re-invested back into improvements to the operations and capital stripping that will result in the Mine generating significant cash flow from operations over a seven year life-of-mine. The revitalization is well underway and gold production is expected to increase to more than 100,000 ounces per year commencing in 2018 at an average all-in sustaining cost of approximately $950 per ounce. Guidance for 2017 is production of between 86,000 and 92,000 ounces of gold at all-in sustaining costs less than $1,000 ounce. The mine is situated in the Arizona-Sonora desert in the northern portion of the Mexican state of Sonora, 2 km west of the town of Estación Llano, approximately 150 km north of Hermosillo. The easy access to site provides the ability for the majority of the workforce to live and commute from neighboring towns.
