Mexico’s General Directorate of Mines issued a temporary suspension to 10 mining concessions that need to prove compliance with safety standards.
made public on social media, the Directorate – which is part of the Secretariat of Economy – said that, despite what is happening at the flooded Las Conchitas Fracc. Norte mine, the concession that belongs to El Pinabete mining company is not among those suspended. The decision to temporarily halt 10 mining concessions followed a series of inspections carried out by the Secretary of Labor and Social Security .
“The then Director of Mines did not proceed with the provisional suspension of operations by arguing that the information provided by the STPS on the concessions did not match the registration data held at the General Directorate of Mines,” the statement reads.
The federal government has also sent to the site a team of six special forces divers, while the National Water Commission, Pemex, and the Federal Electricity Commission sent water pumps to help drain the mine. About 92 soldiers are also working at the scene. According to the National Defense Secretariat, there are three flooded wells that have a depth of approximately 60 metres, of which, around 34 were flooded.Five miners were able to escape and received medical treatment, and two of them have already been discharged from the hospital.
In a statement last week, President Andrés Manuel Lopez Obrador said investigations into those responsible for the mine’s safety would come only after the rescue effort.
