JOHANNESBURG, Sept 14 (Reuters) – Aquarius Platinum
has suspended operations at its Kroondal
platinum mine near Rustenburg in South Africa until Sept. 16 as
a precautionary measure given rising tensions in the country’s
platinum belt.
Global miner Xstrata also said it had closed down
its chrome mine near Rustenburg for the day. None of its other
operations were affected, it added.
