PERTH (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Straits Resources has resumed mining activities over a further portion of its Mt Muro gold project, in Indonesia, after operations were suspended in January following a directive from the Governor of Central Kalimantan.

Later that same month, the miner restarted mining activities in the western end of the pit, while operations remained suspended in the eastern end of the pit.

The miner said on Wednesday that operations at the eastern end of the Serujan pit had now resumed.

“Since we first suspended mining activities on January 10, there has been extensive and ongoing dialogue with all key stakeholders regarding the appropriate boundary line that defines the buffer between mining operations and the site of cultural significance at the eastern end of the Serujan pit,” said Straits MD Andre Labuschagne.

“This process has been extremely positive and constructive, and I believe it has strengthened our relationship with all stakeholders.”

Labuschagne noted that with mining now restarted at the eastern end of the pit, the company would maintain dialogue and would continue to re-establish relationships with all parties.
