Endeavour Silver Corp. suspended operations of its primary ball mill at the Guanacevi Mine in Mexico on September 21 following mechanical issues with the mill head and trunnion. The company expects the repair process to last approximately three weeks.
While mining operations continue without interruption, the facility's regrind circuit is operating at a reduced capacity of 600 tonnes per day, down from the standard 1,100 tonnes per day. The company stated that replacement parts are already in inventory and expects the associated costs to be minimal.
Endeavour Silver is currently coordinating with third-party service providers to expedite the replacement of the damaged components and restore full operational capacity.
