Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Syrah Resources (SYR) has begun restarting operations at its Balama operations in Mozambique, with production and logistics movements recommencing shortly.<\/p>\n

The company announced at the end of September that operations were halted following an interruption by \u201cillegal industrial action by a small contingent of local employees and contractors\u201d.<\/p>\n

The company subsequently consulted with the relevant Mozambique Government authorities and concluded that the employee strike was instigated by a small group outside of a Company Level Agreement (CLA) negotiation process.<\/p>\n

Syrah halted its Balama operations and moved its workforce from the site, though the company stressed that the actions of the small group of employees were \u201cnot deemed representative of the majority of the Balama workforce\u201d.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Syrah said authorities had endorsed the CLA renewal process with the Internal Union Committee as the \u201ccorrect process\u201d for matters regarding Balama employment conditions.<\/p>\n

Further, Syrah said the Mozambique Government ensured that illegal industrial action was not permitted to interrupt Balama operations.<\/p>\n

Syrah said it was focused on preserving its \u201cstrong relationship\u201d with employees, making a positive impact in its communities, and working constructively with the Union and the Mozambique government.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time operations at Balama have had to be put on hold.<\/p>\n

In June, Syrah suspended movement in one of its transport routes from its Balama project in Mozambique after reports of insurgent attacks occurring nearby.<\/p>\n

The move was made as a safety precaution, with one of the conflicts occurring at a mine project site.<\/p>\n

Shares in Syrah closed 1.14 per cent higher this Monday afternoon at $1.78<\/p>\n
