SOTKAMO SILVER OY WILL START CHANGE NEGOTIATIONS
Press release: Stockholm, September 5, 2022, 08:45 CET
Sotkamo Silver Oy is starting the Change Negotiations in accordance with the Act on Cooperation with Undertakings in order to adapt its operations to the prevailing general economic and market situation. The scope of the Change Negotiations includes the Company's entire personnel, ca. 50 people.
The sharply increased prices of energy and consumables and the simultaneous decline of the metal prices, as well as the great uncertainty and volatility associated with them, require measures to ensure the profitability of production and the continuity of operations.
The Change Negotiations covers the measures aimed at adapting production and its costs to reflect the changed situation. As one option, the periodic production of the concentrator and the adaptation of mining to match it will be reviewed. In addition to examining these options, we have already initiated measures to improve cost efficiency and minimize the impact of cost increases in all areas of operations. The measures that are the subject of negotiations are estimated to lead to a maximum of 90 days of layoffs by the end of April 2023.
