Activities and history

The company owns the La Platosa mine, one of Mexico's most silver rich mines. [4] The mine operates at Durango [5] on land owned by the Ejido La Sierrita community. The company was accused of failing to build a water treatment plant by the Ejido La Sierrita community. The community submitted two complaints to the Government of Canada including one to the Extractive Sector CSR Counsellor. [2] In 2022, the company announced plans to close the La Platsoa mine, [4] in the third quarter of the year, citing disputes with the worker's union and global metal prices. [6]
