Activities and history
editThe 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]
In 2023, the company spent $50 million to purchase the La Negra silver mine in Querétaro, Mexico. The mine was previously owned by Dalu S.à r. l.[1]
