TORONTO - Vale will begin a partial restart of its Sudbury, Ontario, operations this week, a company spokesman said on Wednesday, as signs emerged that workers were becoming frustrated with the 2-1/2 month strike at the site.
The Brazilian mining company will restart its Clarabelle mill on Thursday for an initial 48-hour period to work through stockpiled ore, said company spokesman Cory McPhee.
Workers will begin mining copper and precious metals from the Coleman 153 and Garson Ramp orebodies next week, and Clarabelle will then resume to process the ore from those mines as well as ore from local mines owned by FNX Mining.
