Mexican miner Minera Frisco has restarted two previously idled mines and is planning a new silver production unit. The company produces copper, gold and silver across multiple operations. With copper prices remaining elevated, miners are increasingly looking to bring dormant capacity back online. Analysts believe such restarts could help ease concentrate supply tightness over the medium term.
