On Monday, Canadian mining firm Silver Bull Resources said in a statement that it has temporarily suspended work at its Sierra Mojada project in northern Mexico due to a blockade by a cooperative of local miners.
Silver Bull
said it is in an ongoing legal battle with the cooperative, called Sociedad Cooperativa de Exploración Minera Mineros Norteños , which “illegally blocked” access to the project before a final court ruling is issued on the conflict.
Silver Bull is exploring for silver and zinc at the project.
