Toronto-listed New Dawn Mining today announced that it was shutting down its 85 percent-owned Dalny Mine near Kadoma because the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority cut power to the project over problems with bill payments. The mine had outstanding trade payables of about $3 million. New Dawn said increasing power and staff costs, harsh royalty regime and an illegal strike contributed to the decision and the company also lays some of the blame for the shutdown on the African nation’s indigenisation policy.
