The Mexican government proposed raising mining royalties under the argument that metal prices have risen in recent years.
BIV reports an attempted robbery at the Aurizona gold mine in Brazil Wednesday was thwarted:
According to a release, armed robbers took employees hostage from a nearby village and attempted to force entry to Luna Gold’s (TSX-V:LGC) gold storage facility located at the mine site in Maranhão, Brazil.
