According to Pan American Silver, the consultation with the Xinka people under ILO Convention 169 has three phases: phase 1 (pre-consultation) concluded in July 2022, phase 2 (formal consultation) is ‘under way’ and phase 3, judicial verification, is still pending. There is no restart date. This is information from the corporate page and the actual state of the consultation must be confirmed in official sources.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
