Lonmin says re-starts two S.Africa shafts after protests halted
LONDON, May 24 (Reuters) - Platinum producer Lonmin (Berlin: 30318982.BE - news) re-opened two of its shafts in South Africa on May 20 after community protests stopped, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
The E2 and E3 shafts, which were temporarily closed after the community demanded jobs at the mine, were fully opened on Saturday (Shenzhen: 002291.SZ - news) but had been paused after the death of a local chief, spokeswoman Wendy Tlou said.
The two shafts, which closed on May 3, contribute 3-4 percent of total production. (Reporting by Zandi Shabalala; editing by Jason Neely)
