LONDON (Alliance News) - First Quantum Minerals Ltd Thursday said it has temporarily suspended normal operations at its Guelb Moghrein copper-gold mine in Mauritania due to strike action by some unionised employees.
The company said it has sought a negotiated resolution.
"While these efforts continue, steps are now being undertaken to further scale back management resources at site until a decision to restart normal operations is made," it said.
The company will provide further updates in due course.
First Quantum Minerals shares were quoted down 3.9% at 1,235.00 pence Thursday.
