TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – New York- and Toronto-listed McEwen Mining on Wednesday said operations at its 49%-owned San Jose mine, in Argentina’s Santa Cruz province, have resumed.

The company said the employees affected by an outbreak of gastroenteritis had recovered in full.

McEwen said it did not expect the two-day interruption to have a material impact on the company’s full-year production.

McEwen Mining's attributable production from San Jose mine during 2012 totalled 98 117 gold-equivalent ounces.
