Two miners were killed on Sept. 26 at Dia Bras Exploration’s (DIB-V, DBEXF-O) Bolivar copper-zinc mine in Chihuahua, Mexico.
Dia Bras reports that the miners died during a “fatal accident” at the mine, but did not provide any other details about their deaths.
The company says it’s working with the authorities who are conducting an investigation into the accident. Management could not be reached for comment.
In a statement, Dia Bras president and CEO Daniel Tellechea said the company wants to prevent similar accidents in future.
“This type of terrible incident should never happen,” Tellechea said. “We will look into this tragic incident to find out what happened and see if any changes need to be made to our safety practices or polices.”
Dia Bras has been conducting exploration work at the underground mountain mine, located in the Sierra Madre, about 250 km southwest of Chihuahua city, while simultaneously conducting a pilot-mining program. Ore is shipped to the company’s 850- tonne-per-day Malpaso mill, about 150 km away.
