Mining hits new low in Mexico

Friday, May 10, 2019


Investment in mineral exploration in Mexico hit a 12-year low last year, due mainly to social conflicts that forced some companies to halt operations, according to a report published this week by the country’s mining chamber, Camimex.

Around $383 million was invested in exploration in Mexico last year, down 37.4 percent from the $612 million registered in 2017, Mining.com reports.
