On

announcing that on February 18, 2010 a Federal Labor Tribunal dismissed an
action commenced by the Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores
Mineros, Metalúrgicos, Siderúrgicos y Similares de la Republica Mexicana
or the Mining Union, challenging a resolution of the Federal Labor
Court. The federal court had affirmed the decision of the
vast majority of the workers of Nueva Rosita Unit of its subsidiary Industrial
Minera México S.A. de C.V. (“IMMSA”) electing to be represented by
Sindicato Nacional de
Trabajadores de la Exploración, Explotación y Beneficio de Minas en la República
Mexicana or the Exploration Union instead of the Mining
Union. SCC further announced that the workers from eight of eleven
mining units and plants of Minera Mexico S. A. de C. V. are represented by the
Exploration Union.
