[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, Feb. 3, 2020 /CNW/ -- Americas Gold and Silver Corporation (TSX: USA) (NYSE American: USAS) (\"Americas\" or the \"Company\"), a growing North American precious metals producer, announced that a group of individuals has illegally blockaded access to facilities at the Cosalá Operations. The faction includes a small minority of the Company's unionized workers. The Company has already filed the legal motions with the Government of Mexico at the state and federal levels but remains receptive to having good-faith discussions with the proper representatives of the certified union. As a result of the illegal blockade at the site, the Company has temporarily halted mining and processing operations. Americas firmly believes that worker and community interests are best served by lifting the protest and not through an illegal and unproductive blockade that is damaging to all stakeholders. The Company hopes to resolve this dispute in a timely fashion.
