Santacruz Silver Mining said on Friday that an employee died at its Zimapan mine in Mexico last week.
The fatality was due to a rockfall from a stope face, the Canadian miner said in a statement.
“A jackleg driller and his helper were collaring a horizontal blast hole, at which time a rock fell from the face and struck the helper,” the company added.
An investigation is ongoing, the company added and said the mine has since resumed operations.
