RTRS: UPDATE 1-B2Gold says labor strike ends at Limon mine
Nov 16 (Reuters) - Canada's mid-tier gold explorer B2Gold Corp (BTO.TO) said the labour strike at its Limon mine in Nicaragua has ended and 100 percent production levels are being achieved.
B2Gold, which holds 95 percent stake in the Limon mine, said the strike was initiated by one of the three labour unions at the Mine, the Pedro Roque Blandon Union, which represented about 46 percent of the organised workers.
"The Ministry of Labour of the Government of Nicaragua declared the strike to be illegal, and informed the unions," the company said in a statement.
The strike ended after the three unions, the company and government officials signed a deal, it said.
Shares of B2Gold were up 2 Canadian cents at C$0.90 in morning trade Monday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
