Santacruz Silver Provides Update on Developments Related To Covid-19 Response; Suspends Operations at Zimapan Mine Until April 30, 2020
Mr. Carlos Silva, the Company’s COO stated: “The Company enacted strict safety and personal protection guidelines in late March at all of its mine operations as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic and has closely monitored activities since then. Although no cases of Covid-19 have been documented with respect to staff working at any of our operations, the Company and the Zimapan mine owner, Grupo Peñoles, S.A.B. de C.V., have determined to temporarily halt all mining, milling and exploration activities at the Zimapan mine so as to better protect the Company’s labour force and local communities from this pandemic.”
