(Corrects Oct 30 story to show work stoppage was not related to
mining strikes)
JOHANNESBURG Oct 30 (Reuters) – Junior South African gold
producer Village Main Reef said on Tuesday output had
resumed at its Tau Lekoa mine after a production stoppage and
was expected to reach normal levels in the next few days.
The stoppage followed the death of a contractor’s employee
as a result of a rock fall on October 24. The halt in production
was not related to a recent wave of strikes in South Africa’s
gold and platinum sectors.
Village Main Reef said the work stoppage was unlikely to
have a material effect on output.
