The company added it continues to operate normally at both its Tahuehueto and Campo Morado mines, "advancing production, optimization, and sustainability initiatives".

Shares of Luca Mining ( LUCMF ) were last seen down by $0.055, or 3.6%, to $1.465 on the TSX Venture Exchange, amid broad losses for Canadian equity markets today.
