Newmont, one of the world’s largest gold companies and a leading producer of copper, zinc, lead, and silver, declared a “force majeure” this week indicating that it will not be able to deliver on contractual agreements for at least some of its products.
Reuters picked up the story and reported that a union strike at Newmont’s Peñasquito mine in Mexico is limiting delivery on some of the mine’s products – except that report failed to mention silver as one of the metals that Newmont is failing to deliver to customers.
