Santacruz Silver president and chief executive officer Arturo Prestamo said: “It is with extreme sadness that we announce this tragic accident. Our deepest sympathies and thoughts go out to this miner's family, friends and co-workers.
“We strive to have a safe workplace as we take health and safety of our employees with the highest priority. We are investigating with the authorities the cause of this accident and taking all possible measures to ensure this does not happen in the future.”
All operations at the mine were temporarily suspended following the death.
