Russia Says China's Zijin Agrees to Keep Siberian Zinc Mine Open
Russia's Tuva region said it has agreed with Zijin Mining Group to keep the Kyzyl-Tashtyg zinc mine working after sanctions prompted the Chinese company to weigh suspending operations.
Zijin's Russian unit, which operates the Siberian zinc deposit, will cancel its earlier order to halt the mine from June following a meeting between local authorities and Chinese company's President Zou Laichang, according to a statement from Tuva Governor Vladislav Khovalyg published Monday.
