Development and Operating Plan
Based on engineering work done to date, the Phases I and II of the [Pascua-Lima]mine are expected to produce
900,000
ounces of gold annually for the first ten years (average of 840,000 ounces annually over life-of-mine) and 37
million ounces of silver annually for the first ten years (average of 28 million ounces life-of-mine).....

I think they can handle the addition of 6 million ounces of silver to the hedge. I haven't found the total silver
production as yet, but the above is only one mine.
