Ongoing stoppages at Newmont Goldcorp Corp’s Penasquito gold mine in Mexico are costing “millions” every day to both public coffers and the company, a senior Mexican official said on Thursday, urging a solution that will restart operations.
Speaking to reporters in Mexico City, Francisco Quiroga, the deputy economy minister responsible for mining, said he wanted operations at the country’s largest gold mine to continue.
“Every day that it’s shut, there are millions lost for the company and for public coffers,” Quiroga told reporters. “We want a solution that allows mining activities to continue.”
