- Mexican regulator PROFEPA confirms Luca’s Tahuehueto gold mine continues to operate normally
- Temporary closure affects only a 0.3-hectare inactive tailings area
- No impact expected on production or ongoing operations at Tahuehueto or Campo Morado
Luca Mining Corp. (TSXV:LUCA) says operations at its Tahuehueto gold project in Durango, Mexico, are continuing without disruption following an environmental inspection by federal authority PROFEPA.
The review formed part of Mexico’s standard oversight of mines operating under Environmental Impact Authorizations (MIAs) issued by SEMARNAT. Inspectors requested clarification on a small, legacy section of the site once used for tailings storage but no longer active.

As a procedural step, PROFEPA placed a temporary closure notice on that 0.3-hectare area while the company prepares updated technical documentation and a remediation plan. Luca said the inactive zone is separate from all current mining and processing activity.
“Environmental compliance and transparency are central to Luca Mining’s operations,” said company president Ramón Pérez. “The temporary notice applies only to a non-operational section and does not affect production. We continue to work constructively with PROFEPA and SEMARNAT.”
The company added that both its Tahuehueto and Campo Morado mines remain in normal operation as it advances production, optimization and sustainability initiatives.
Campo Morado, in Guerrero State, is a polymetallic underground mine producing zinc, copper, lead and precious-metal concentrates.
Shares of Luca Mining are down by 2.68 per cent trading at C$1.45 as of 10:26 am ET.
