Newmont Goldcorp Confirms Illegal Blockade Lifted at Peñasquito Mine in Mexico
Newmont Goldcorp Corporation confirmed that the illegal blockade of the Peñasquito mine in Mexico was lifted yesterday. The Company continues to work closely with the federal and state governments toward a sustainable, long-term solution, and lifting of the blockade paves the way for the government-sponsored dialogue to resume. Operations at the mine remain temporarily suspended pending further evaluation of the situation on the ground and assurances that the blockade will not be allowed to resume.
