Price Risk Management

Fresnillo plc ("Fresnillo" or "the Company") announces that it has hedged 7% of the Company's 2021 silver production, capitalising on the unique market conditions, where current spreads have presented an opportunity to limit downside risk while retaining significant upside exposure to future silver price increases. The transaction was structured as a "collar" with an average floor price of US$20 per ounce, and with an average price ceiling of approximately US$50 per ounce.

This transaction has provided Fresnillo with the benefits of locking in a strong margin for the volume hedged for 2021, with the floor silver price well above the 2019 average realised price (US$16.1 per ounce), while ensuring the Company can benefit from further rises in the silver price.
