Update on Silverstream
Agreement with Peñoles
Fresnillo plc ("Fresnillo" or the
"Company") has received notification from Industrias Peñoles,
S.A.B. de C.V. ("Peñoles"), that its Sabinas mine is experiencing
operational difficulties impacting silver production.
The Sabinas mine, fully owned by
Peñoles, is the subject and mineral source of the Silverstream
Agreement entered into by Fresnillo and Peñoles in December
2007.
Fresnillo and Peñoles have initiated
discussions in order to assess the extent of these operational
difficulties and any associated impact on the Silverstream
Agreement. Although it is too early to reach any specific
conclusions, at this time Fresnillo considers that there is a
reasonable likelihood that the process may lead to significant
adjustments to the Silverstream Agreement.
The Company will provide a further
update as and when more information becomes available.
