MANILA, March 31 (Reuters) - Mining operations in the
Philippines' southern province of Surigao del Norte, home to
most of the country's nickel mines, will be suspended from April
1 as part of measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus, two
mining companies said on Tuesday.
Nickel Asia Corp NIKL.PS and Global Ferronickel Holdings
Inc FNI.PS , the Southeast Asian country's two biggest nickel
ore miners and exporters, separately said that they have
received a copy of the suspension order issued by the provincial
government on March 28.
Nickel Asia, in a statement, said the suspension order also
covers the entry of foreign vessels.
