Zahlen sind schlecht. Ich warte bis sich ein Boden bildet und steige ein. Immerhin handelt es sich hier um den größten Silberproduzenten weltweit und den zweitgrößten Goldproduzenten in Mexiko.
Lower production, higher costs sink Fresnillo's H1 profit
Fresnillo (OTCPK:FNLPF) falls 18% in London trade after reporting H1 profit plunged by more than two-thirds amid lower production and higher costs, and the Mexico-based miner says it cut its capital spending budget for the year.
Profit for the six months ended June 30 totaled $70.9M vs. $229.3M in the year-earlier period, while H
1 core earnings of $307.9M missed consensus estimates by 6%; H1 silver production tumbled 10.4% to 27.6M oz., while gold production fell 7.1%.
"Continued challenges at our Fresnillo, Saucito and Herradura mines, combined with higher costs, have impacted profitability for the period," the company says.
Fresnillo, which says it will implement a cost control program in H2, says it now expects $655M in capex for the full year, down from its previous plan of $710M.
