The seeking alpha article is talking about small volume differences. The price of silver is up 20% in the last three months. This incremental margin drops through to the bottom line as does any rise in the price of gold or silver. It doesn't really matter if they mine slightly less silver as they are still growing volme next year. And because this company is not a one trick pony, it cannot be ignored when gold and silver prices rise.
Gold futures for early next year are higher then today's price, which I think means that the market thinks that the gold price is going up. Additionally Fres silver volume should be higher next year if they ever get the power going. This will be offset by lower gold volume. But they should also benifit from lower energy costs in 2023. I think the biggest reason to be negative is the up-down trading pattern over the last twelve months.

Costs was good at 7%. I think these were reasonable results. A bit slow on the new projects, but the slope is upwards. Now it depends in the price of silver and gold.
You say that China is facing demand destruction for iron ore, and I do understand your narrative, but that doesn't seem to be reflected in Dalian spot pricing, which is rising not falling.
