AngloGold Ashanti's Mponeng mine was not operating yesterday, the company said. This was due to a day of mourning that had been declared at the mine by the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) following a death of a miner there last week. "NUM refers to it as a day of mourning but effectively it's a work stoppage," said Anglogold Ashanti spokesperson Joanne Jones. - Sapa
