Fortuna reports fatality at Peru mine
NYSE- and TSX-listed Fortuna Silver Mines has reported a mine fatality at its Caylloma mine, in Peru.
The company said that the worker was employed by a mining contractor and that he had died in an accident that occurred during underground mining operations on Friday.
No other personnel were injured.
Fortuna said that the appropriate government and local authorities had been properly notified and that an investigation to determine the cause of the accident was under way.
A site-wide safety stop took place and underground mining operations were suspended, before resuming on Sunday.
“The health and safety of our workforce is a top priority at Fortuna, and we mourn this tragic loss at the Caylloma mine. We are focused now on ensuring the necessary support to family and colleagues and a prompt investigation into this accident involving one of our contractor employees.
“The leadership of the company and over 5 500 employees and contractors across our operations reaffirm our steadfast commitment to achieving a zero-harm work environment,” said president and CEO Jorge A. Ganoza.
