A fatality has occurred at Torex Gold Resources Inc.‘s El Limon-Guajes Mine.
An accident occurred at the Guajes pit on the afternoon of October 28th in which Jose Manuel Martinez Martinez, an employee of Equipos y Maquinarias del Sureste S.A de C.V, was seriously injured by falling rock. The mine’s emergency response team transported Martinez to the hospital in Iguala where, despite the best efforts by the hospital medical staff, he passed away during surgery.
“Our thoughts, prayers, and support, are with Jose Manuel’s family through the difficult days ahead. Support for employees has also been provided. All mining activities were suspended during the internal investigations, and the area of the rock slide remains secured until corrective actions can be designed and completed,” said Fred Stanford, president and CEO of Torex.
