The latter target could be raised further once the board approves development of the Mega Centauro and Centauro Deep projects, a spokesman said. Fresnillo operates three other mines in Mexico and expects to produce 43 million ounces of silver this year. Fresnillo is considering hedging part of the extra gold production it will get through the acquisition.
