Newmont Unit Batu Hijau Mine Operations Still Suspended

 
PTNNT has been mining copper and gold since March 2000 in the Batu Hijau mine in West Nusa Tenggara 
 
Operations remain suspended at PT Newmont Nusa Tenggara's Batu Hijau gold and copper mine on Sumbawa island in eastern Indonesia after unsuccessful job seekers blocked access to the mine to protest the company's recruitment process, spokesman Ruby Purnomo said by phone Thursday. Purnowo declined to give further details. A local daily quoted him as saying that the company decided to suspend operations Wednesday.
The Newmont Mining Corp. unit said in a statement Wednesday that it has temporarily cancelled recruitment following the protest, and hopes the protesters will return homes and operations can return to normal immediately.
