Average realized prices financial

"Average realized prices for gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper"

metric tons technical

"Lead metric tons produced and Zinc metric tons produced"

A metric ton (also spelled tonne) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms, roughly the weight of a small car. Investors see it used to measure quantities of bulk goods like oil, grain, metals or carbon credits; knowing how many metric tons are involved helps translate physical volumes into revenue, inventory levels, shipping costs and supply-demand risk—think of it as the standard “weight” label that turns cargo into dollars.

joint venture projects financial

"other base metals via wholly-owned mines and through its participation in joint venture projects"

A joint venture project is a formal collaboration where two or more companies combine money, staff or technology to pursue a specific business goal, often under a separate agreement or entity that shares costs, risks and any profits. For investors it matters because such partnerships can accelerate growth or spread risk but also create dependency and shared liabilities—like neighbors pooling money to build a shared workshop, where success or problems affect each partner’s financial results and valuation.

mining rights regulatory

"a major holder of mining rights in Peru"

forward-looking information regulatory

"This press release may contain forward-looking information that involve risks and uncertainties"

Forward-looking information are predictions, plans, estimates or expectations about a company’s future performance, results or events, such as sales forecasts, project timelines, or anticipated costs. It matters to investors because these statements guide expectations but rely on assumptions and uncertain factors—like a weather forecast for a business—so investors should treat them as informed guesses rather than guarantees and consider the risks and possible changes behind the numbers.
