Candelaria and Chapada significantly increased mill throughput quarter - over - quarter and a new record for zinc ore was set at Zinkgruvan . With increasing ore grades at Candelaria and Chapada , we are well positioned to deliver our annual guidance . While first quarter financial results were impacted by timing with a shipment from Chapada pushed into early April , we generated significant operating cash flow . Eagle achieved a cash cost² of negative $ 1.62 / lb nickel and contributed over $ 75 million of operating cash flow . The Zinc Expansion Project at Neves - Corvo restarted in early January and is on - track for commissioning later this year . Lastly , in early April , at Chapada we were successful in the acquisition of 23 highly prospective near - mine exploration claims through government auction , increasing our overall land position by 80 % . We continue to expect 2021 to be an exciting and rewarding year for Lundin Mining , as we benefit from the recent investments made in our operations to take full advantage of the favourable metal price environment and to generate meaningful free cash flow for our shareholders .
