Things aren’t looking so hot on Kyrgyzstan’s mining landscape.
Or, should we say, things are actually at their boiling point?
Via Reuters: “Centerra Gold said on Saturday it had sent fuel to its flagship Kumtor mine in Kyrgyzstan, hoping to restore output cut by protests and power outages as local villagers demand the venture be nationalised.”
“Toronto-listed Centerra’s shares fell 15 percent to C$3.52 on Friday after the miner said it would not be possible to determine the extent of the impact on its production and results until grid power was restored at the mine.”
