Río Negro preventively halted work at Calcatreu over local hiring requirements

The Río Negro provincial government ordered a preventive halt to work at the Calcatreu mine after detecting alleged non-compliance with the local workforce hiring requirement.

The measure is linked to the requirement that 80% of personnel hired for the project be workers from the province. According to available information, the provincial administration made the decision after determining that this condition had not been met.

The suspension applies to activities underway at the Calcatreu mining project. The order is preventive in nature and will remain in effect while the situation regarding the composition of the workforce is reviewed.

Calcatreu is located in Río Negro and is one of the mining projects advancing in the province. The case once again puts the spotlight on compliance with local employment commitments tied to extractive operations.
