TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Brazil-focused gold miner Luna Gold on Monday said it had temporarily halted operations at the Aurizona gold mine, after access to the mine was constrained as local community members demonstrated against local government concerning the progress of government-sponsored infrastructure projects.

In order to ensure the safety of its employees, the company said it had decided to suspend operations until the situation was resolved.

Luna said it was optimistic that the parties would reach agreement soon and the mine would restart normal operations.
