The company said that at Canadian Malartic, an optimized design of the Barnat pit resulted in an increase in gold mineral reserves, which significantly reduced depletion resulting from production. In addition, on a 100% basis, the overall underground project at Canadian Malartic has increased to more than 14,000 koz of gold mineral resources, of which approximately 7,300 koz are included in a preliminary economic assessment completed in February 2021.
Yamana is a Canadian-based precious metals producer with significant gold and silver production, development stage properties, exploration properties, and land positions throughout the Americas, including Canada, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
