Rio Tinto Ltd. said Tuesday that it is resuming operations at
its Richards Bay mineral-sands business in South Africa.
The mining company has commenced the process of restarting
operations following a stabilization of the security situation
around the mine, it said.
Operations will be ramping up to capacity as soon as possible,
and the overall impact is still to be assessed. Rio Tinto said the
force majeure declared on customer contracts remains in place.
Mining operations at Richards Bay, in which Rio Tinto has a 74%
stake, were halted in June because of concerns about safety that
followed the fatal shooting of a senior manager a month
earlier.
