Thompson Creek stops stripping at Idaho moly mine

摘要

Thompson Creek Metals is suspending stripping activity associated with the next phase of production at its Thompson Creek molybdenum mine in Idaho, effective immediately, raising questions about the mine's long-term future, the US miner said Wednesday. “If stripping has not recommenced by 2015, we expect that the mine would be placed on care and maintenance at such time,” the company said in a statement.
