Avocet Mining has temporarily ceased operations at its Inata mine in Burkina Faso due to labour strike, after talks were failed with representatives.
Talks between the company and workforce representatives failed over cost reductions to continue operations at the mine during low gold prices.
The company is continuing discussions with a committee representing the mine workforce, to identify a feasible solution.
Avocet Mining said it will provide further updates at a later date.
In August, the company dropped its full-year production forecast due to a delay in delivery of key equipment to Inata, in addition to funding issues and reserve downgrade at the mine, reported Reuters.
Inata mine is 90%-owned by Avocet Mining, while the government of Burkina Faso holds the remaining 10% stake.
The company owns a number of exploration licences across Burkina Faso and the Tri-K development project in Guinea.
