Puna Operations
The Puna Operations are in the Jujuy Province, Argentina. They include the Chinchillas and Pirquitas mines. The Pirquitas mine is located in north-west Argentina. Reserves there are enough to keep it producing for 14.5 years at an average annual rate of 10 million ounces for silver and 2,500 tonnes for tin.[3] In 2010, its first year of production, it produced 6.3 million ounces of silver, almost 70% of that in the second half.[4][5] According to an analyst at Blackmont it will become "one of the world's primary silver mines".[6]
The Chinchillas mine supplies ore to the Pirquitas processing facility.
Marigold mine
Located in Humboldt County, Nevada, United States, the gold mine started operations in 1988.
Seabee Gold Operation
Located near Laonil Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada, the mine has started operations in 1991. The Seabee Mine Aerodrome services the mine

In August 2011 it sold Australian silver project Bowdens (97.1 million ounces in measured/inferred silver resources) to gold miner Kingsgate Consolidated for $75 million, $65 million of which will be paid when the deal closes (a portion of which is Kingsgate company shares).[7]
