As quoted in the market news:
Zimplats said January to March operating profit rose to $52 million from $19 million the previous quarter. Revenue, at $128 million, was 32 percent higher than the last quarter.
The company said production dropped by two percent to 90,557 ounces after an illegal strike by some workers and electricity cuts, which affected operations at the mine’s platinum matte furnace.
