Northam Platinum Limited reports that members of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) employed at the Zondereinde platinum mine in Limpopo Province have rejected the company’s revised wage offer, which includes an average increase of between 9.0 and 9.5% on wages and an increase in the living out allowance from R1600 to R1750 per month. The strike started September 6, 2010.
Northam advises that underground operations resumed last night, Thursday 29 July 2010, at the company’s Zondereinde mine near Thabazimbi. This comes after the suspension of drilling and blasting operations following an accident on the mine on Tuesday 20 July 2010.
The management of the Zondereinde division of Northam advises that convertor operations have resumed at the division’s metallurgical plant with stockpiled material now being fed through the plant.
