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.
COMEX silver dropped 3 percent on Wednesday, down for a third straight session, and gold faltered as precious metals came under pressure to correct after a strong rally in the last few weeks.
However, the overall trend in gold and silver remain bullish, as concerns on rising global inflation, unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, and low U.S. interest rates drive investors to park their value in precious metals.
