According to Evraz Ukraine, iron ore mining was stopped at Evraz Sukhaya Balka in September.
“We are carrying out repairs and other works to keep the mines in the working order. All the employees despite the halt continue receiving their wages in full”, the company corporate relations director Artem Matvienko said.
It costs Evraz Ukraine 70 million UAH per month to maintain the mine.
But if the blocking of the operation continues the employees will have to be sent on vocation. (Ukrainian metal)
