UPDATE 1-Major silver miner in Mexico gets three month reprieve from lenders

Creditors to Fortuna Silver Mines will give the Canadian miner three months to obtain additional legal permission to keep operating in Mexico after the denial this month of a key environmental permit, the company said on Friday. Over the past decade Fortuna has operated one of Mexico's top silver mines, but it faces possible closure due to the regulatory denial. The company said in a statement its lenders have agreed to waive the requirement that the company secure "a permanent injunction or equivalent protection" for three months until Feb. 18, 2022.
