Empress Royalty’s Tahuehueto silver stream initiates pre-production

“We would like to congratulate the Altaley team for bringing Tahuehueto into pre-production”, stated Alexandra Woodyer Sherron, CEO and President of Empress Royalty.  “It is extremely rewarding to see our initial investment moving forward from a development stage asset into a producing mine and we look forward to start receiving revenue from this mine in Q2 2022. The Tahuehueto silver stream is an example of the type of well-structured investments Empress intends to bring into the portfolio, to generate great returns for our shareholders.”
