The company now expects to produce 291,000- 319,000 gold equivalent ounces, down from a prior forecast of 350,000-378,000 ounces. Mara Rosa’s production target was revised down to 35,000-45,000 ounces from 94,000-104,000.
Hochschild’s interim adjusted core profit rose 27% to $225m on the back of soaring gold prices due to US President Donald Trump’s global tariff war as investors sought a safe haven for their cash.
Production guidance for the Inmaculada mine in Peru and the San Jose operation in Argentina remained unchanged.
“Mara Rosa experienced a challenging first half of the year, with operations impacted by heavier-than-usual seasonal rainfall and contractor performance issues,” said chief executive Eduardo Landin.
“These conditions restricted access to higher-grade zones within the pit and further exacerbated existing issues with filtering processes and delaying efforts to recover from mine waste removal backlogs carried over from 2024.”
