Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 21, 2024) – Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX: SAM) (FSE: V4JA) (“Starcore” or “the Company”) announces that mining operations have been temporarily suspended at its San Martin Mine (“San Martin”) in Queretaro, Mexico.
An unscheduled inspection at the mine conducted by the Mexican Labor Department identified safety standards that need to be met before resuming operations. The inspection followed a recent singular fatality at the mine, the first one in 18-1/2 years of Starcore’s record of zero fatalities in its mining operations at San Martin.
“Safety has been a high priority at San Martin for 18-1/2 years and will continue to be of utmost importance in our operations,” said Robert Eadie, Chief Executive Officer of Starcore.
“We expect to meet the safety standards that the Labor Department requires and have mining operations resume within a week,” stated Robert Eadie. “The Company’s mine operations and safety teams are working tirelessly to meet the required protocols, while management extends compassion to the family who has lost a loved one, and is providing grief counselling to those who need it.”
