Tahoe Resources regrets to report that a security patrol at the Escobal project in Guatemala was ambushed by armed criminals shortly after midnight on January 12, resulting in the deaths of two contract security guards. The Escobal security team repelled the attackers who left behind numerous automatic weapons and incendiary devices. According to Guatemala news reports a high-ranking government official close to the investigation stated that this was not a local protest but an organized, nighttime incursion by a well-armed group from outside the area. This was one of three attacks against mining entities in Guatemala during the week. In the last year, numerous businesses have been subjected to intimidation and violence from criminal elements intent on stopping development. The company thoroughly rejects the notion that these unprovoked violent acts are justified and urges the Guatemalan government to thoroughly investigate these crimes and protect human rights and property interests in our local communities. | |
