Australia\u2019s Resolute Mining (ASX, LON: RSG)\u00a0withdrew on Wednesday<\/a> its production and costs guidance for 2020 after unionized workers at its Syama gold mine in Mali notified the company of a looming a 10-day strike.<\/p>\n

The miner, which expected to churn out 430,000 ounces of gold at an all-in sustaining cost of $980 per ounce, said the union is threatening with downing tools unless the company resumes full pay to employees affected by covid-19 measures.<\/p>\n

\u201cResolute has implemented a comprehensive, company-wide response to the coronavirus pandemic,\u201d it said. \u201cAt Syama, a decision has been made to limit the travel of non-essential workers from outside the surrounding region to the mine site to limit the risk of transmission of the virus.\u201d<\/p>\n

The gold miner added it had informed the union the company considers the strike notice \u201cirresponsible\u201d and \u201copportunistic\u201d. It also said the threat represented a breach of the commitments made in a workforce stability agreement for the mine.<\/p>\n

Resolute Mining said it was considering how to respond to the strike notice, adding it intended to continue to seek the union’s understanding and support for the appropriate actions.<\/p>\n

The miner reported in August strong results for the first six months of the year, with revenue reaching $305 million from gold sales.<\/p>\n

It also noted at the time that it didn\u2019t expect Syama operations to be affected by the recent coup in Mali.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
