Peruvian Metals Achieves Record Throughput for the First Quarter of 2025 at Aguila Norte Processing Plant
Peruvian Metals Corp (TSXV: PER) (OTCQB: DUVNF) reports exceptional first quarter 2025 performance at its 80%-owned Aguila Norte processing plant in Northern Peru. The facility processed 9,168 metric tonnes, marking a significant 38% increase from Q1 2024's 6,624 metric tonnes.
This record-breaking achievement is particularly noteworthy as it occurred during Peru's rainy season, which typically impacts mining operations negatively. The plant, currently operating at 100 tonnes per day, holds an environmental permit (IGAC) from the Peruvian government allowing for potential capacity expansion.
Peruvian Metals Corp (TSXV: PER) (OTCQB: DUVNF) riporta un eccezionale risultato per il primo trimestre del 2025 presso il suo impianto di lavorazione Aguila Norte, di proprietà all'80%, situato nel nord del Perù. L'impianto ha lavorato 9.168 tonnellate metriche, segnando un aumento significativo del 38% rispetto alle 6.624 tonnellate metriche del Q1 2024.
Questo risultato da record è particolarmente notevole poiché è avvenuto durante la stagione delle piogge in Perù, che di solito influisce negativamente sulle operazioni minerarie.
