Update: Exceeding expectations

Notwithstanding a maiden contribution from Antamina, a strong performance at Silver Wheaton’s (SLW) gold division was complemented by an equally impressive performance from its silver division, with records set in both the production and sales of precious metals, as each of its cornerstone assets (Salobo, Penasquito, San Dimas and Antamina) performed in tandem. Constancia – which is in the process of ramping up – also performed better than our expectations. As a result, attributable silver-equivalent (AgE) production was 47.7Moz for the full year cf our forecast of 44.8Moz (and guidance of 45.0Moz). Excluding impairments, Q4 was therefore the best quarter of FY15 and SLW’s best since Q314 (when the average silver price was US$18.98/oz).
