Syrah cuts staff and production outlook

Graphite miner Syrah Resources on Friday announced that some 30% of its staff at its Balama project, in Mozambique, will be made redundant, while executive management cuts will also be made.

Syrah told shareholders that the sudden and material drop in flake graphite prices during the third quarter of this year had prompted a structural review of the company, with the miner now looking to implement a series of ‘significant measures’.
