Chicago 12/10/2016 - A worker was killed at Capstone Mining Corp's Cozamin copper-silver mine on Monday, October 10, it said.

The miner was struck by a piece of equipment while it was being shipped into the Mala Noche Footwall zone area, the company said in a release on Wednesday. In response, the Canada-based company suspended operations and will restart them later today.

The mine, which is located near Zacatecas City, employs roughly 650 workers, with 2015 production totalling 15,700 tonnes of mostly copper and silver concentrates. The company did not report how much production was lost in the stoppage.
