Chart: Which countries are falling behind in gold mine production
India tops the global ranking with demand nearly 50 times that of its mined supply.
South Africa’s Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) on Tuesday called on its members at Sibanye-Stillwater’s platinum operations to embark on a secondary strike over job cuts and wages.
Sibanye-Stillwater last week said that it could cut nearly 6,000 jobs in a potential restructuring of the company’s gold mining operations – where AMCU has been on strike since mid-November over a wage dispute – after losses at some of its mines last year.
