The company is now focusing on care and maintenance activities at the affected mine while working closely with local authorities to ensure safety. Operations at La Colorada will remain suspended until the company is confident that safety can be guaranteed for its workers and the site.
In addition to operating silver and gold mines in Canada, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, Pan American Silver Corp . also owns the Escobal mine in Guatemala.
