Mining resumes
Mining resumed for the first time for four months at New Caledonia’s largest nickel mines when 70 Melanesians returned in a “good will” gesture. Negotiations will start on Friday on Melanesian claims for a new balance between Melanesian and European personnel at the Societe le Nickel, a French-owned company. The Melanesians also want more senior posts, along with wages for last month when disturbances halted work. — Thio.
