This milestone showcases our team's dedication and expertise, and we anticipate carrying this momentum as we continue to scale up our production.”
Understanding the Wet Commissioning Process
The wet commissioning process entails introducing water and slurry into the plant circuits to assess the performance of various equipment and systems under real operational settings. This significant step comes after successfully finishing the dry commissioning phase, where mechanical, electrical, and control systems were thoroughly tested without load.
As of now, the first slurry has been successfully introduced into the concentrate filter, and initial performance metrics align with the design expectations. The operations and commissioning teams are maintaining diligent oversight of the system performance, ensuring adherence to safety, environmental, and quality standards throughout the process.
Next Steps for Endeavour Silver
Looking ahead, as the wet commissioning progresses, the focus will shift towards increasing feed and operating times, ultimately ramping production to its full capacity. The company is poised to offer operational guidance as this ramp-up phase unfolds.
The Team Behind the Project
Endeavour Silver extends its gratitude to the dedicated efforts of its construction, engineering, and operational teams, whose hard work and commitment have brought the Terronera Project to this significant stage safely and efficiently.
