Orosur Mining Inc (LON:OMI) has flagged that some 2,000 ounces of gold production is expected to be deferred from the San Gregorio mine’s second quarter.
It comes as a result of extended downtime, specifically two offline drill rigs used in stope production.

“Work is well underway to repair the machinery and it is anticipated that the affected drill rigs will return to full productivity by the end of November and the Company has already resumed underground production,” the company said in a statement.

Orosur noted that development work continued in the second quarter and the production operation is being partially supplemented with open pit ore and stockpiles, though this is expected to mean that the production grade will be lower for the quarter.
