 Article Headline: Simmers to close two Buffelsfontein gold-mine shafts
 Abstract: JSE-listed gold-and-uranium miner Simmer & Jack Mines (Simmers) has initiated the closure of two more shafts at its Buffelsfontein (Buffels) gold mine in North West province, Simmers CEO Nico Schoeman told Mining Weekly Online on Tuesday. Labour union Solidarity, which described Simmers' Section 189 announcement as " another retrenchment shock", passed on to Mining Weekly Online Simmers notification to labour, which puts the official retrenchment estimate at 865, out of a total of 4 567 employees. Schoeman's estimate in a video interview was that 600 jobs were likely to be at risk given the opportunity to transfer workers to the Ezulweni operation of First Uranium, a Simmers' associate company.
