With the addition of these streams, the company updated its 2013 production guidance to 33.5 million ounces of silver-equivalent production, which includes 145, 000 ounces of gold, the company said.
Known for its many silverstreams across the Americas and parts of Europe, this venture into gold should not be seen as the company re-focusing its metals priorities, said Randy Smallwood, president and chief executive officer ofSilver Wheaton.
