Excellon regains access to La Platosa mine


During the blockade, essential services have been maintained at La Platosa, including pumping operations.
Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: T.EXN, Stock Forum) said that it has regained access to its La Platosa Mine in Mexico.
La Platosa, located in Durango State, has been under an illegal blockade commenced by the landowners, known as the Ejido, over a land rental dispute since July 8.
According to the press release, the company's work force peacefully regained regular access to La Platosa through a new alternate access with the aid of the Concerned Women of Bermejillo, a group of women from local communities that have been affected by the illegal blockade.
Early yesterday morning, a combined group of state and federal authorities peacefully reopened access to the mine site via the new access - which at the time had only five blockaders.
The company aims to continue accessing La Platosa in the coming days with the aid of the Concerned Women of Bermejillo and with the aim of resuming full production when the situation stabilizes and ordinary course permits are received.
In the event that the illegal blockaders interfere with the escort provided by the Concerned Women of Bermejillo, the company will be forced to put the mine on full care and maintenance for an indefinite period.
