Fresnillo ops unaffected by Saucito pipeline burst

Silver producer Fresnillo does not expect any material financial impact or loss of production after a pipe carrying nontoxic waste between the plant and tailings dam at the Saucito mine, in Mexico, burst on Sunday. Fresnillo on Wednesday said the Mexican Environmental Authority had concluded in its initial review that the situation was of limited scale and, as a result, operations had not been suspended.
