Kenmare titanium mine hit by strike

PRODUCTION has been temporarily suspended at Kenmare Resources’ Moma titanium mine in Mozambique after employees went on strike over wage demands.

The Dublin-headquartered company told the Irish Stock Exchange that the strike action was unofficial and had been called by a group of employees during annual wage negotiations between the company’s management and the employees’ union.

“Kenmare, employee representatives and officials from the Ministry of Mines and the Ministry of Labour are now working towards an early resolution of the issues,” the company said.
