JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – A week-long strike at London-listed Avocet Mining’s Burkina Faso operations has ended; however, a return to operations would take several weeks.

Workers at the Inata gold mine downed tools on December 4, illegally occupying the mine and preventing management access to the mine or plant, following talks with workforce representatives over cost-cutting initiatives to keep Inata operational.

Avocet would now undertake a damage assessment on all plant and machinery and determine whether there has been an adverse impact on processing.
