[Ferro-Alloys.com] The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) has ordered the suspension of the operations of nickel miner Shenzou Mining Group Corporation in Claver, Surigao del Norte because of excessive siltation in the area.
The MGB declared the suspension in an order dated July 18, 2012.
Shenzou is the Operator of Claver Mineral Development Corporation (CMDC) under Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) No. 103-98-XIII(SMR) which was granted to CMDC by the MGB on February 23, 1998.
The order of suspension was issued after the assessment of the MGB’s multi-disciplinary team. The team reported that Shenzou failed to address over siltation in the area and “aggravated” the situation by constructing a settling pond by the sea.
