PLOMOSAS OPERATIONS CONTINUE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION,
LEGAL DISPUTE UPDATE
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
• Court rescinds orders granted to terminated mining contractor
• Normal operations continue at Plomosas Mine
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Consolidated Zinc Limited (ASX: CZL or “the Company”) advises that its 100% owned Mexican subsidiary,
Minera Latin American Zinc S.A.P.I de C.V. (“MLAZ”), has succeeded in legal action to end the intimidation
and excessive actions of Caminos y Construcciones Ganti S.A. de C.V. (“Ganti”).
Ganti were MLAZ’s mining contractor until they were terminated on the 25 November 2019, in accordance
with their contract. Ignoring the contracted conflict resolution procedures, Ganti submitted legal
proceedings in the Federal District Court of Chihuahua (“the Court”) against MLAZ. MLAZ has lodged its
defence and counterclaims.
On Friday 31 January, Ganti representatives arrived at the MLAZ office and at the third party owned Aldama
plant, seizing control of financial records and physical inventory. CZL’s Board were advised that these actions
significantly exceed the actions allowable under the order Ganti received from the Court. See announcement
dated 3 February for further details.
On 4 February the Court rescinded the orders given to Ganti. The actions by Ganti proved only a minor and
temporary interruption to administrative functions, MLAZ’s operations at Plomosas mine were unaffected.
This announcement was authorised for issue to the ASX by the Directors of the Company
