Mining Weekly reports that platinum producer Lonmin re-opened two of its shafts on 20 May as community protests had ceased, a spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The E2 and E3 shafts, which were temporarily closed after the community demanded jobs at the mine, were fully opened on Saturday but had been paused after the death of a local chief, spokesperson Wendy Tlou said. The two shafts, which were closed on 3 May, contribute 3% to 4% of total production.
