In a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Americas Gold & Silver Corp, a Canadian-based metal mining company, has submitted a report that touches on the sensitive issue of labor practices in the mining industry. The document, dated Friday, May 30, 2025, includes a report titled "Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour."
The company, previously known as Americas Silver (NYSE:USAS) Corp and Scorpio Mining Corp, is listed under the Metal Mining [1000] industry classification. Americas Gold & Silver Corp is incorporated in the jurisdiction of Z4 and operates out of its principal executive offices located at 145 King Street West, Suite 2870, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The SEC Form 6-K, a report of foreign private issuers pursuant to rules 13a-16 or 15d-16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, indicates that Americas Gold & Silver Corp has chosen to file annual reports under Form 40-F, which is reserved for Canadian issuers of securities in the United States. This form allows for an alternative reporting method given the company’s foreign private issuer status.
The filing, signed by Peter McRae, Chief Legal Officer and Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs, demonstrates the company’s commitment to addressing and reporting on issues related to forced labor and child labor within its operations and supply chain. No further details regarding the content of the labor report were provided in the 6-K summary.
This filing comes at a time when there is increasing global scrutiny on the mining sector’s labor practices, with a particular focus on the ethical sourcing of minerals and the protection of workers’ rights. The move by Americas Gold & Silver Corp to address these concerns head-on may be seen as a proactive measure to ensure transparency and corporate responsibility.
