AMSE has highlighted the severe hardships faced by the workers due to the mine&#8217;s shutdown, compelling many former employees to seek employment in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>, often with tragic outcomes, including\u00a0 deaths during perilous journeys north.<\/p>\n<p>The association stresses that restarting the Fenix mine operations is critical not only for the local economy but could also significantly curb the flow of illegal immigration to <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>. Despite the removal of US sanctions on CGN and Pronico, the entities operating the mine, there remains a baffling delay in the mine&#8217;s reopening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We kindly seek the support of the U.S. Government in our dialogue with the Guatemalan authorities to expedite the issuance of these essential export licenses. This action will ensure the mine&#8217;s rapid reopening and the re-employment of its workforce,&#8221; stated a spokesperson for AMSE.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing gratitude to Secretary Blinken for his attention to this pressing matter, AMSE underscores the mutual benefits that reopening the mine would bring to both <span class=\"xn-location\">Guatemala<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  Fenix Nickel Co.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">NEW YORK<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">May 10, 2024<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ &#8212; Fenix Nickel Co., the US owner of Guatemalan nickel producers Compania Guatemalteca de Niquel (CGN) and Compania Procesadora de <span class=\"xn-person\">Niquel de Izabal<\/span>, S.A.
