In 2014 a trespasser was killed by guards at the Guanajuato Mine.[5] According to the company, illegal miners had "been entering the mine by force and with weapons, such that we have had to hire an armed security force".[6]

In 2017 Jim Bannantine succeeded Robert Archer as the company's chief executive officer.[7]
