PERTH (miningweekly.com) - ASX-listed Straits Resources has restarted mining activities at its Mount Muro gold operation, in Indonesia.

Straits suspended mining at Mount Muro earlier this month, following a directive from the provincial governor of Central Kalimantan.

Straits MD Andre Labuschagne said on Wednesday that issues related to the placement of a boundary line between an area of local cultural significance and the eastern end of the Serujan pit.

“Mining has restarted in the western end of the pit; however, mining in the eastern end of the pit is still suspended while discussions continue with all stakeholders for a solution. We are confident that, with current support from all stakeholders, mining in the eastern end of the pit will restart shortly.”

Labuschagne added that discussions with the project stakeholders had been productive, with significant progress made.

“It has been particularly pleasing to see the level of support for the mine from all stakeholders, in particular the Central Mines Department, local government, local leaders, community and the workforce.”
