SIERRA MADRE ONSITE POWER GENERATION FULLY FUNCTIONAL AT LA GUITARRA
The twin diesel electric generators have been installed at Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd.'s producing La Guitarra silver-gold complex in Mexico. All components, the generators, substation and the machine control centre have been tested, and are fully functional and are performing at manufacturer design levels. Each generator is capable of producing 1,500 kilowatts.
As announced on Aug. 27, 2026, Sierra Madre is adding backup power generation capacity across La Guitarra, including the two 1,500 kW generators for the plant detailed in this release, plus a 1,250 kW diesel generator for Coloso and Nazareno, to mitigate the impact of weather-related power outages.
Gregory K. Liller, chief operating officer, commented: "Between January and August of this year, the production facility was down a total of 278 hours due to grid power interruptions. This equates to over 11 days of lost production. With the successful commissioning of the generating plant, the lost production revenue plus down time personnel and associated costs are now expected to be behind us. The company has implemented an aggressive program to reduce operating costs and the backup generating capacity is a major milestone in achieving this."
