Sibanye Stillwater Ltd. expects operations at its Century zinc project in Australia to be suspended until mid-November after a bushfire damaged some equipment.
While all workers and the main infrastructure at the Queensland site are safe, there has been “extensive loss” of piping infrastructure and orders for replacements have already been placed, the South African miner said in a statement on Friday.
