TIMMINS – Tahoe Resources Inc., the parent company for Lake Shore Gold in Timmins, is financially doing better than expected. The company this week reported its second quarter and six-month year-to-date financial results.
There are record levels for silver and gold production along with record levels of cash flow and revenue. Part of that reporting also revealed that second-quarter production volumes for Lake Shore Gold (LSG) were below last year’s numbers, because of some “minor operational issues.”
Regardless, the company said Timmins is still destined to play a significant role in the future. Already, the $80-million shaft expansion project is underway at LSG’s Bell Creek Mine and new jobs are being created. Lake Shore was acquired by Tahoe in April.
