  • Gold Fields / GFI (NYSE, JNB)

    South Africa's largest gold producers offered their unionized mine workers a revised wage increase proposal, South Africa's Chamber of Mines said in a statement late Wednesday afternoon.
    The offer by AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (AU), Gold Fields Ltd. and Harmony Gold Mining Co. (HMY) includes a minimum of ZAR3,000 ($405.22)/ per month for entry-level underground workers, a "significant increase" for entry-level surface workers and a wage hike of 8.5% for some workers.
    If the unions accept, the offer would become effective from July 1, 2007.
    Wednesday's offers are on top of others that include a "wage offer" for other employees, improved wage increment for surface and underground artisans in short supply, and a new basic wage for rock drillers of at least ZAR4,000 by July 2008, according to a press release.
    Earlier in the day, South African trade union Solidarity said it would recommend its members accept a final wage offer.

    JOHANNESBURG, Aug 22, 2007 (Dow Jones Commodities News via Comtex) -- South African trade union Solidarity will recommend its members accept a final wage offer from the country's largest gold producers, it said Wednesday.
    It said the Chamber of Mines, which is negotiating biennial wage deals on behalf of AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (AU), Gold Fields Ltd. and Harmony Gold Mining Co. (HMY) has offered artisans a 10% wage increase in 2007 and an 8% rise next year.
    Miners and officials will get an 8% increase in both years, while workers in categories four to eight have been offered 8.5% in the first year and 8% in the second. Solidarity said a wage package for rock drill operators, who are in category 5, has still to be determined, but that it would include a double-digit pay increase.

  • Gold Fields / GFI (NYSE, JNB)

    JOHANNESBURG, Aug 22, 2007 (Dow Jones Commodities News via Comtex) -- A second round of mediated wage negotiations between South Africa's largest gold producers and trade unions will take place Wednesday, the Chamber of Mines said.
    The Chamber, which is negotiating on behalf of AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (AU), Gold Fields Ltd. (GFI) and Harmony Gold Mining Co. (HMY), will be looking to prevent a strike similar to the one that paralyzed production for five days two years ago.
    The Chamber is set to meet with the National Union of Mineworkers, Solidarity and the United Association of South Africa before the state Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration.
    The NUM, the country's largest mining industry union, last week said it was disappointed with a revised wage offer from the gold companies.
    The gold producers have raised their offer to unionized workers to a 9% to 10% increase in pay for certain surface workers and 8% for all other employees. They have also offered increases in certain other benefits.
    The unions this month declared a dispute with the employers after their members were offered a 7.75% wage rise. The unions have demanded double-digit pay hikes.

    Reiterates Rejection of Yamana Offer


    RENO, Nevada, Aug 22, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Meridian Gold Inc. ("Meridian Gold" or the "Company") (CA:MNG) (MDG: MDG) , in response to the announcement that Northern Orion Resources Inc. ("Northern Orion") shareholders approved the business combination with Yamana Gold Inc. ("Yamana"), today reiterated the unanimous recommendation that Meridian Gold shareholders reject Yamana's unsolicited amended offer to acquire Meridian Gold common shares.
    Brian Kennedy, Chairman of Meridian Gold's Board of Directors, stated, "The approval by Northern Orion shareholders of the business combination with Yamana does not change in any way the value of Yamana's unsolicited amended offer to Meridian Gold shareholders and therefore does not affect the Board's view that Yamana's offer fails to adequately compensate Meridian Gold shareholders for the inherent value of the Company."
    "We believe strongly that Meridian Gold shares represent a better value proposition for our shareholders than Yamana's unsolicited amended offer. We continue to recommend that shareholders reject the offer," added Kennedy.
    As announced on August 20, 2007, the Meridian Gold Board of Directors determined that the unsolicited amended offer by Yamana still fails to provide full value for Meridian Gold shares and unanimously recommended that shareholders reject the revised offer and not tender any of their shares.

At a Special Meeting of Northern Orion shareholders held in Vancouver earlier today, the Arrangement was approved by 83.1% of the votes cast and no notices of dissent were received.
    Under the terms of the Arrangement, Northern Orion shareholders will receive 0.543 of a Yamana share plus Cdn.$0.001 in cash for each Northern Orion share.

    Commenting on the results, David Cohen, Northern Orion's President and CEO said, "Northern Orion's strong shareholder support for the Arrangement demonstrates our clear commitment to the business combination with Yamana. This positive vote also considerably simplifies the transaction involving Northern Orion, Yamana and Meridian in that an essential condition has now been removed from the transaction. We continue to believe that the resulting company will have one of the strongest growth profiles and cash flow generating abilities in the intermediate gold producer category."
