FIRST MAJESTIC SILVER CORP. (NYSE:AG) (TSX:FR) (the "Company" or “First Majestic”) is pleased to announce that it has reached a tentative agreement with the National Union of Miners, Metallurgists, Steelworkers and Similar Workers of Mexico (National Union), to restart operations at the La Encantada Silver Mine in the state of Coahuila, Mexico. In the coming weeks, the Company will undertake a phased restart of operations.
On May 20th, a rogue group of workers halted activities via an illegal blockade after some of the individuals did not agree with the bonus that the Company and the National Union had previously agreed to offer the miners in lieu of profit sharing. Since then, the Company and the National Union have been working together to find an agreement to the dispute which will be favourable for all parties.
Keith Neumeyer, President & CEO commented, “I am very pleased by the responsiveness and cooperation we have received from the National Union in working with us towards finding a solution that satisfies all parties. La Encantada is one of the largest employers in the area and is crucial to the overall health of the local economy.”
The Company is planning to implement a reinduction and retraining process for the union miners as soon as next week. Mine production is now expected to restart by mid-June before ramping up to full production by the end of June.
