MANILA, April 6 (Reuters) - Nickel Asia Corp NIKL.PS , the
Philippines' largest nickel ore miner and exporter, said on
Monday its two units in Surigao del Norte province will resume
ore shipments as the local government has allowed mining
operations to resume.
The company said in a filing to the Philippine Stock
Exchange that foreign vessels chartered to deliver ores will
strictly observe quarantine guidelines covering their crew and
stevedores loading ores to the vessels.
Mining operations in Surigao del Norte had been suspended
from April 1 to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The
province holds the Philippines' biggest nickel mines, supplying
ore to Chinese nickel pig iron producers and smelters elsewhere.
