A Strike at the San Cristobal Silver Mine enters its sixth day. With the silver market as tight as it is, this certainly can not help. Not only does the San Cristobal Mine account for HALF of Bolivia's exports, this mine is the third largest silver producing and the sixth largest zinc producing mine in the WORLD! This strike started last Friday when workers demanded better working conditions and the firing of several officials. Mining production has been completely halted now for almost an entire week. This has been completely ignored by the financial media.
