Timmins Gold Corp. is strategically positioned for continuous growth as a gold production and development company. Focused solely in Mexico, Timmins Gold has begun production at its wholly owned San Francisco Gold Mine in Sonora.
Timmins Gold’s objective is to expand the current reserves and the lifespan of the San Francisco Mine, advance its other gold exploration projects and make strategic acquisitions.

Emerging gold producer, Timmins Gold (TSX: TMM) took another step forward on the path to production today, confirming that it had inked a deal with Peal de Mexico to provide both mining equipment and personnel for a 3.5 year period.
Peal de Mexico is headquartered in Spain, but has operations in Spain, Portugal and Mexico, and has a particular presence in the State of Sonora. The contract will see Peal de Mexico utilizing a mining fleet consisting of shovels, loaders and trucks to exploit the open pit resource at the San Francisco Gold Project.
“On site at present, Timmins Gold's mining and crushing operations are continuing with the available Komatsu shovel and six Caterpillar 100 ton trucks until the full mining fleet arrives,” the company stated today. “Over 100,000 metric tonnes of ore have been stacked on the heap leach pads and gold leaching has begun.”
Timmins also confirmed that its gold plant is operation and gold is being extracted from the pregnant solutions. The first gold and silver dore bars are expected to be poured in the “coming weeks”.
The San Francisco gold mine is situated on a 42,000 hectare land package.
Timmins Gold's stated goal is to utilize cash flow from San Francisco to expand reserves and production, advance its exploration projects and make strategic acquisitions.
