JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Pan African Resources’ Mpumalanga-based Barberton Mines has successfully concluded a one-year wage agreement with the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and Uasa.

The average wage increase for all Barberton Mines employees will be about 8%, effective from July.

Barberton Mines experienced a two-and-a-half-day stoppage during the negotiation period.

“The stoppage is not expected to affect the group’s production guidance of 190 000 oz for the financial year ending June 30, 2018,” Pan African said in a statement on Wednesday.
