CA - Amerigo reports Q3 Minera Valle Central production and operational update
- Amerigo ( OTCQX:ARREF ) announces Q3 production results from Minera Valle Central (MVC), the company’s 100% owned operation.
- MVC produced 16.0M lbs of copper at a cash cost of US$1.93/lb per pound. Production in line with company's guidance.
- Based on the company’s modeling, annual production is expected to be 63.8 M lbs of copper (3% over guidance) with cash cost trending towards $1.95/lb, approximately 3% higher than guidance.

- Molybdenum production in the quarter was 0.3M lbs, continuing to trend below guidance mostly due to lower molybdenum content in fresh tailings.

- On September 30, 2022, the company’s cash and restricted cash balance was $48.2M.
