Aura Minerals Inc - Announces Suspension of Operations at San Andres Mine
![Aura Minerals Inc - Announces Suspension of Operations at San Andres Mine](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The decision to suspend operations at San Andres has been taken as a result of the unauthorized actions of a small number of individuals who have entered the mine site and have been forcefully disrupting normal operations. Although the unauthorized individuals represent a minority of the communities surrounding San Andres, the ongoing safety of employees and contractors is a core organizational value, and commitment, of the Company. Management has therefore decided to suspend operations to ensure the safety of all parties.
The Company is evaluating a number of options with respect to the restart of the mine and is working with local representatives to peacefully resolve the current situation. Management is confident that a resolution will be forthcoming and will provide appropriate updates as additional information becomes available.
