TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – NYSE- and TSX-listed Endeavour Silver said on Tuesday that a worker had died at its Guanacevi mine, in Durango state, Mexico, after an underground rock fall near a pump station at Porvenir Cuatro.

The accident took place on Sunday, and on Tuesday the area remained closed while the company and the Mexican authorities were completing an investigation. Other areas remained open and production had not been affected.

"We are greatly saddened by this tragic accident and extend our sincere condolences to the victim's family, friends and colleagues. Safety is a top priority for Endeavour and once the investigation is complete, Endeavour will review and implement any additional safety measures recommended to prevent such an accident from recurring,” CEO Bradford Cooke said in a statement.
