08:03 AM EST, 01/29/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Amerigo Resources ( ARREF ) said Wednesday that its Minera Valle Central (MVC) operation in Chile reached a significant safety milestone, marked by three consecutive years without lost-time accidents.

During that period, a total of 1,823,782 man-hours were lodged by MVC's employees, Amerigo said.

"This new safety record reached by the MVC team is significant as it demonstrates the safety mindset and the effectiveness of the safety practices, training programs and tools in place at our operation," said Aurora Davidson, Amerigo's president and CEO. "Our maxims that safety supersedes all production goals and that all workers should return home unharmed each day have clearly been internalized and put into practice by our workers."

MVC currently employs 296 workers. At peak times, such as the annual maintenance shutdown, more than 880 MVC workers and subcontractors can work daily.
