Santacruz Silver Reports Fatality at its Zimapan Mine in Mexico

15.09.2023  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, Sept. 15, 2023 - Santacruz Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: SCZ) ("Santacruz" or "the Company") regrets to report that an employee was fatally injured at its Zimapan Mine on September 8, 2023.

Arturo Préstamo, Executive Chairman and Interim CEO commented, "We are deeply saddened by this tragic accident and have extended our deepest condolences to the employee's family. We are providing all necessary assistance to the family and our employees during this difficult time. Our leadership, employees and contractors follow best safety practices and the Company will evaluate the need for changes to mining safety procedures."

The fatality was the result of rockfall from a stope face. 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. Safety personnel were immediately notified and followed mine rescue protocols to close the mine, attend to the injured employee, and inform the family and authorities. An investigation is ongoing and once completed, its conclusions and recommendations will be reviewed with key mine-site management and all staff at all mining operations to better understand what more can be done to improve Santacruz's safety performance. The mine has since resumed operations.
