[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\nTORONTO, Dec. 18, 2013 /CNW/ - U.S. Silver & Gold Inc. (TSX: USA)\n (OTCQX: USGIF) has come to an agreement with the Mine Safety and Health\n Administration (\"MSHA\") to modify a previously issued order, and will\n re-open its Galena Mine Shaft #3 which is used for hoisting ore. The\n Mine will begin to recall employees who were impacted by the closure\n tomorrow (December 19, 2013).\n\n\nThe original MSHA order was given during a routine inspection and\n involved repairs on the #3 Shaft below the 4600 level and above the\n 5200 level.  The shaft was shut down pending an agreed plan to resolve\n pre-existing citations which were unrelated to employee injury and did\n not allege imminent danger in the mine.  The affected employees were\n temporarily sent home while the Company worked on a resolution with\n MSHA.\n\n\n\"Galena Mine Shaft #3 will be up and running for production hoisting\n immediately and we are looking forward to getting affected employees\n back to work quickly,\" said Darren Blasutti, President and CEO of U.S.\n Silver & Gold.  \"I would like to thank MSHA for working with us to\n resolve the issues in an expedited manner.\"\n\n\nThe Company does not expect there to be any impact on production\n guidance for 2013 and remains on track to deliver 2.1 - 2.2 million\n ounces for the year.\n\n\nAbout U.S. Silver & Gold\n\n\nU.S. Silver & Gold is a silver and gold mining company focused on growth\n from its existing asset base and execution of targeted accretive\n acquisitions.
