MAC estimates the mine to produce 428,000 ounces of yearly payable silver and 46,000 metric tons of payable copper between 2023 and 2025.
In the March-end quarter, the company reported earnings per share of 13 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 11 cents. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for OR’s 2023 earnings is pegged at 47 cents, indicating a decline of 2.1% from the prior-year reported figure.
