VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 9, 2025
VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Luca Mining Corp. ("Luca" or the "Company") (TSXV: LUCA) (OTCQX: LUCMF) (Frankfurt: Z68) is pleased to confirm that operations at its Tahuehueto Gold Project, located in Tepehuanes, Durango, continue running normally following an inspection by Mexico's environmental authority, PROFEPA (Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente).
The inspection, part of Mexico's standard environmental oversight process, reviewed the project's compliance with its Environmental Impact Authorization (MIA) issued by SEMARNAT.
During the site review, PROFEPA requested clarification regarding a small legacy area previously used for tailings storage, located near the processing plant. This area is inactive and does not affect ongoing mining or processing operations.
As part of the administrative procedure, PROFEPA placed a temporary closure notice on that specific inactive area pending submission of updated technical documentation. Luca Mining expects to develop a remediation plan for this area that will not impact ongoing operations. "Environmental compliance and transparency are central to Luca Mining's operations," said Ramón Pérez, President of Luca Mining. "The temporary notice applies only to a non-operational section of 0.3 hectares and does not affect current production. We continue to work constructively with PROFEPA and SEMARNAT. Responsible mining is fundamental to how we operate."
Luca Mining continues to operate normally at both its Tahuehueto and Campo Morado mines, advancing production, optimization, and sustainability initiatives.
