Bolivia’s San Cristóbal mine, a huge desposit of zinc, lead and silver, has suspended operations after the country imposed tough rules to halt the spread of coronavirus, its operator Minera San Cristóbal said in a statement on Friday.
The company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japana’s Sumitomo Corporation, said it would impose a "temporary suspension of the production and export of concentrated zinc, lead and silver minerals" following the government measures.
