- Kinross Gold (NYSE:KGC) +4.6% AH after confirming it has suspended operations and dismissed 300 employees at its Maricunga gold mine in Chile, after a judicial decision upheld a move by the country's environmental regulator to shut the water system linked to the mine.
- KGC says the suspension of the Maricunga operations is not likely to affect its 2016 production and cost forecast, although the mine accounted for 8% of its total gold production in 2015.
- KGC also says it has resumed operations at its Tasiast mine in Mauritania following its temporary suspension caused by an expatriate work permit issue.
