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.
Around 4,500 citizens of Esquel, Argentina, protested against the mega-mining projects in the province and demanded that the government cancel Yamana Gold’s authorization to operate in the region.
Esquel citizens have been protesting against mining projects since 2003, at which time 82% of the population voted against the government’s mining legislation.
