Santacruz Silver Mining reports fatality at Tres Amigos mine in Bolivia
Tres Amigos mine, a part of the Caballo Blanco Group of mines, has resumed operations after it was shut down following the incident.
Local residents continue to blockade the roads into and out of the Pierina mine in Peru’s Huaraz Province in support of demands for water rights. The mine is operated by Barrick Misquilchilca, a subsidiary of Barrick Gold.
The protests are expected to stop once negotiations begin with the company at around noon tomorrow.
Representatives from Peru’s Council of Ministers, Ministry of Energy and Mines and Ministry of Environment, among other government institutions, will take part in the talks.
