JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa's National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said on Thursday it was preparing to strike at Nkomati, a nickel mine jointly owned by African Rainbow Mineral's and Russia's Norilsk.
The largest mining union in South Africa has declared a dispute with the mine owners over wages and NUM's Regional Secretary in North East, William Mabap, said it would not hesitate to call a strike.
A three-week strike at African Rainbow Minerals' joint venture with Anglo American Platinum at Modikwa Platinum mine in April cost the mine 21,000 ounces in lost production.
This equated to 6 percent of the mine's 350,000-ounce annual platinum group metal production.
Nkomati mine is situated in Machadodorp in Mpumalanga and produced 10,100 tonnes of nickel in 2011.
