Global Mining Industry Shutters Mines to Safeguard Against COVID-19, an Industrial Info Market Brief

Mining firms are placing mines on care and maintenance (shuttering) and suspending activity at projects in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The fallout is rising at a quick pace as companies rush to wind down operations and demobilize construction workforces.

Newmont, for example has shuttered two mines in Canada, one in Argentina and one in Peru.
