RE:New Press Release - Pan American Silver announces preliminary 2022 production results ILO 169 Consultation for the Escobal Mine
In Q4 2022, two meetings were held under the ILO 169 consultation process for the Escobal mine in Guatemala. During these meetings, the Health and Cultural Ministries delivered project information to the Xinka representatives and their expert consultants. In December 2022, the Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MEM") and Xinka representatives delivered a progress report on the ILO 169 process to the Guatemalan Supreme Court of Justice.
The MEM is leading the ILO 169 consultation process, and further details regarding the process are available on the MEM's web site: https://mem.gob.gt/pueblo-indigena-xinka/. No timeline has been set for the conclusion of the ILO 169 consultation process, nor a potential restart of operations at the Escobal mine.
