Americas Gold and Silver Corp.’s top executive said he’s optimistic a dispute that has shuttered one of its mines in Mexico for about 14 months can be resolved through meetings with Mexican federal cabinet ministers this week.
Chief Executive Officer Darren Blasutti is betting that high-level meetings will provide enough sway to break a deadlock that has kept his company’s mine in Mexico’s western state of Sinaloa shuttered since former workers began blockading the site in January 2020. The standoff is over contracts for non-labor issues including haulage and concrete transportation, according to the Toronto-based company.
