The Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) has called for the formation of a joint taskforce to assist in the re-employment of miners, after dual-listed gold miner Kirkland Lake announced plans to close two of its mines in the Northern Territory, telling 250 staff that their positions will be made redundant.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation on Wednesday reported that test mining nd processing at the Cosmo mine and the Union Reefs processing plant would cease at the end of March.
