Silver-and-gold miner Fresnillo PLC (FRES.LN) said on Wednesday that its 2018 production outlook remains unchanged.

Mexico-based Fresnillo said it remains on-track to produce between 67 million and 70 million ounces of silver, and 870,000 to 900,000 ounces of gold.

Fresnillo said it expects to approve the development of its 56%-owned Juanicipio silver mine project, in the Zacatecas state of Mexico, "in the coming months", with a target of beginning production in mid-2020.
