Fortuna Silver reported that heavy seasonal rains led to a temporary reduction in construction work at the Lindero gold project in Argentina.
Heavy rainfall over the past week in other regions of the province caused damage to two segments of the 450km road from the city of Salta to the project, the company said in a release. As a result, transportation to and from the project site is restricted to light vehicles.
The company said it has been gradually reducing and prioritizing on site construction to preserve fuel and other consumables which, given current road conditions, cannot be transported to the project site.
