Hochschild Engages the Smithsonian for Biodiversity Studies
Hochschild Mining PLC (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with the Center for Conservation and Sustainability of the Smithsonian National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (the "CCS").

The mine received regulatory approval for its Modified Environment Impact Assessment in 2023, extending its environmental permit for an additional 20 years.
The CCS conducts research and monitoring to study, understand, and integrate biodiversity conservation needs with the development priorities of large infrastructure projects.
