Episode Details

In this episode, we chat with Eduardo Landin, CEO of Hochschild Mining, an LSE-listed precious metals company that focuses on the exploration, mining, processing and sale of gold and silver across the Americas.

In this episode, we’ll walk through Eduardo’s journey to leading one of the sector’s most established precious metals producers and take a closer look at Hochschild’s diversified portfolio across the Americas.

We unpack the latest Q1 2026 update, dig into the turnaround at Mara Rosa, and explore what’s next for key growth assets like Monte Do Carmo and Royropata, particularly in the context of tightening silver supply.

We also discuss the role of brownfield exploration in sustaining long-term growth, and what the future could look like for Hochschild from both an operational and investor perspective and a lot more.
