TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Striking mine workers at Century Mining's San Juan gold miner in Peru have returned to work and operations have resumed, the company reported on Monday.

Century said on February 2 that union members employed by the mine had downed tools, but that the Ministry of Work in Peru had deemed the strike by union members at the San Juan operation to be illegal.

Century, which also has a gold operation in Quebec, Canada, said last month it expects to produce 20 000 oz from San Juan in 2010.
