Zambia again rejects Glencore's Mopani mine closure plan

Zambia's government has again rejected Glencore's (OTCPK:GLCNF, OTCPK:GLNCY) plans to place its Mopani Copper Mines unit on care and maintenance, the Mines Minister says.

Mopani said earlier this month it planned to resume mining for 90 days but then place operations on care and maintenance.

Mines Minister Richard Musukwa and other cabinet ministers recently traveled to the Mopani area to discuss challenges at Glencore's local unit, among other mines.
