June 13 (Reuters) - Kinross Gold Corp K.TO KGC.N said on
Monday a nearly three-week strike by unionized workers at its
Tasiast mine in Mauritania ended on Saturday.
The company said it would restart negotiations on a new
labor agreement and other issues within 10 days.
Employees retain the right to strike during negotiations
subject to Mauritanian labor laws, Kinross said.
Toronto-headquartered Kinross said it did not expect the
strike to affect a planned expansion at the mine.
Kinross approved in March a $300 million first-phase
expansion to double Tasiast's production and slash its
production costs.
