The San Jose mine, with higher throughputs and grades, drove Fortuna's strong Q2/19 production. Production there was reported at 2.2 Moz and compares to CIBC's projected 1.90 Moz. Silver production at Caylloma was 230 Koz and as CIBC estimated. The highlights there were lead and zinc production, which were 7,000,000 pounds (7 Mlb) and 11.2 Mlb, respectively. Both exceeded CIBC expectations, of 6.8 Mlb of lead and 10.2 Mlb of zinc. "The results demonstrate the consistent performance of Fortuna's two operating assets," Chiu commented. "Incorporating Q2 actual commodity prices, the two operations should generate about $20 million in free cash flow in the quarter." As for cash costs in Q2/19, they were in line with CIBC's forecasts and Fortuna's guidance for each project. Cash costs at San Jose were $68.60 per ton, within guidance of $63.50�70.10 per ton. At Caylloma, cash costs were $86.70 per ton, also within guidance of $80�88.40 per ton.
