Peru’s small miners block highways, camp outside Congress demanding registry extension
Analyst says that there are strong competing interests between Congress and small-scale miners that could escalate.
Harmony Gold on Wednesday confirmed that two employees of a contractor at its Kalgold gold mine in South Africa’s North West province have tested positive for the coronavirus.
“While mining at Kalgold has largely been suspended, the plant continues to operate and employees who have tested negative for covid-19 have returned to work,” Harmony said.
Kalgold’s production represents 3% of the company’s total production.
