Execution risk on 2x growth capex projects
The 250 ktpa smelter and tailing reprocessing plant involve significant capex and regulatory clearances; delays could affect growth timeline.
Hedging strategy may limit upside
Hedging 10%-20% of volumes at lower prices (e.g., silver at $37-$39/oz) could cap gains if prices continue to rally.
Mine development cost inflation
As mines go deeper, mine development costs are increasing (15 km vs 14 km YoY), which could pressure cost structure if not offset by efficiencies.
