PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Underground operations at the Nifty copper mine, in Western Australia, have been temporarily suspended as owner Metals X undertook remedial repairs to the secondary escapeway.

The ASX-listed company said on Wednesday that the repairs would take around seven days to complete, with the mine to return to full operation by the middle of next week.

Metals X acquired the Nifty project from fellow listed Aditya Birla in August last year.
