Toronto-based private-equity firm Waterton Global Resource Management is pushing for an overhaul of Hudbay Minerals’ board and the exit of the CEO, Alan Hair, over alleged "mismanagement."
CEO Andrew Mackenzie said it was too early to say what impact the recent Vale tailings dam disaster will have on efforts to restart BHP and Vale's jointly owned Samarco mine, shut since November 2015 after a dam collapse killed 19 people.
Panoramic Resources' first shipment from the Savannah mine contained 7,735 wmt of nickel/copper/cobalt concentrate valued in approximately $6.1 million.
