Mexico’s mining sector should re-start activities on June 1, two weeks later than previously suggested, Mexico’s undersecretary for mining said on Thursday.
Mexican government earlier this week said it would classify mining, along with the auto sector and construction, as essential activities, paving the way for a May 18 restart following a prolonged shutdown during the coronavirus outbreak.
But Mexico’s Mining Undersecretary Francisco Quiroga said certain safety protocols have to be carried out with the ministries of health and labour after May 18, which would take time.
