Yichun Luming Mining, the owner of a tailings dam in northeast China that leaked last month, contaminating the local river system, has been ordered to suspend molybdenum production, according to a report on a provincial government website.
The emergency management bureau in the city of Yichun in Heilongjiang province will "temporarily withhold the company’s safe production licence" while rectifications are carried out, the report on the Heilongjiang government website said on Wednesday.
