The General Manager of Tara Mines, which has temporarily laid off 650 workers, has said he cannot say for certain how long the loss of work will last
THE GENERAL MANAGER of Tara Mines, which has temporarily laid off 650 workers, has said he cannot say for certain how long the loss of work will last.
The mine’s parent company, Sweden-based Boliden, confirmed yesterday that production and exploration at the mine, which is the largest zinc mine in Europe, would cease temporarily. “That’s where we’re facing tremendous, unsustainable losses. To safeguard the future of Tara Mines, this is a necessity to stem the cash going out.”He insisted that the decision is “temporary” but added that “the timeline on how temporary it is, I can’t say at the moment”.
“The company is adamant that the board of directors are 100% convinced that this is a forced temporary closure and won’t be a permanent closure, but of course, we have to work to make sure that that’s the case,” Coveney said. The minister said that he has sought more details from the company about how long the lay-offs may last.
