Telson Mining Corporation has resumed mining and milling operations its at Campo Morado mine in Guerrero, Mexico. The Mexican Government recently deemed the mining industry to be an essential industry, resulting in lifting of the temporary country wide mining industry shut down because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Detailed COVID-19 safety protocols approved by the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) have been implemented at the Campo Morado mine site to protect the health and safety of all its employees. These protocols include strict sanitary measures, return-to-work health screenings and on-site medical personnel to monitor and respond to any health concerns.
Underground mining and processing activities re-commenced on June 3, 2020. Prior to the temporary suspension of activities this last April, the mine was operating at an average production rate between 1,900 to 2,200 tons per day. Additionally, the company has about 2,900 tonnes of zinc concentrate, and 650 tonnes of lead concentrate currently stored at the mine site and available for immediate shipping. The company already started its shipping procedures to deliver its concentrates to the point of sale at the port of Manzanillo.
“As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the past months have been very difficult for our organization and in general for everyone all over the world.” said Ralph Shearing, CEO and president of Telson.
“Thankfully, there has been no COVID-19 reported infection to any of our Campo Morado employees or anyone at Telson. Additionally, with the strict health protocols recently developed and implemented at Campo Morado mine site and throughout our organization, we are confident that we will be able to maintain continuous mining operations at Campo Morado while minimizing the risk and exposure to COVID-19 virus,” added Shearing.
About Telson Mining Corporation
Telson Mining Corporation is a Canadian-based junior resource company with two Mexican gold, silver and base metal mining projects. Telson’s Tahuehueto project located in Durango, Mexico is currently in pre-production at approximately 200 tonnes per day utilizing a toll mill for processing and has entered a construction phase with a timeline to be producing on site in its own mineral processing plant capable of milling at least 1,000 tpd in 2020. Telson’s 100 percent owned Campo Morado mine located in Guerrero, Mexico was placed into care and maintenance in August 2019 due to a number of factors including the substantial decline in zinc prices which negatively affect the mine’s profitability. With improving conditions Telson brought the mine out of care and maintenance and reinitiated mining and milling operations during January 2020.
