ArcelorMittal Mexico reports:

This is an automated translation of the press release issued in Spanish

Today, July 19, after 56 days of illegal blockade and the refusal of a group of dissidents to withdraw from the accesses despite the fact that the majority of their union accepted the proposal presented yesterday, we have finally recovered the facilities of the mine and our steel plant.

We will resume our activities in the third shift tonight, however, our staff will begin with an inspection of the facilities in order to ratify the technical and safety conditions necessary to return to normal in an adequate and safe manner.

We regret all the effects that our direct and indirect suppliers experienced along with their employees, as well as our clients, collaborators and the community, due to these almost 2 months of illegal blockade.
