Operations at Madagascar’s $8-billion Ambatovy nickel/copper mine continued on Friday, despite all shipments to and from the operation remaining marooned at an east-coast port as a tax dispute with the Malagasy government on new shipment levies dragged on.
Operator and 40%-owner Sherritt International on Friday said that operations were ongoing, as it had been able to manage input inventories and had stored finished product for loading on ships when port operations resume.
