Two Primero employees die in aircraft crash-landing near San Dimas
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Two employees of precious metals producer Primero Mining, plus a relative of one of the employees, have died following an aircraft crash-landing in the Sierra Madre mountain range, about 15 km from the Tayoltita Airport, close to Primero's San Dimas mine in Mexico.
Late on Friday, the miner reported that Toronto-based executive and VP for operations Guillermo Adrian, San Dimas-based warehouse clerk José Paz Vizcarra Juarez, as well as a family member of Vizcarra Juarez, had died.
The aircraft was carrying ten individuals en route to Durango.
"This tragedy has impacted every person at Primero deeply and we send our deepest condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of the deceased," stated Primero president and CEO Ernest Mast.
"All survivors are being treated for their injuries and we will provide support to the affected families to help them through this difficult time. The company will cooperate fully with aviation authorities to determine the cause of the accident,” he said.
