VANCOUVER (miningweekly.com) – Employees who had staged a sit-in at LSE- and Nasdaq-listed Randgold Resources’ Tongon mine, in Côte d’lvoire, returned to work on Wednesday.
The Africa-focused explorer and gold producer said management, together with representatives of central and local authorities, had negotiated a settlement with the employees.
Workers staged the illegal underground sit-in from January 26, demanding yearly ex gratia payments.
Randgold did not provide more details on the settlement agreement.
