Canadian Mining Company Suspends Cuba Operations

The Canadian mining company Sherritt announced on Tuesday it is suspending operations on the island “due to fuel supply constraints affecting the country.”

The firm, which extracts nickel and cobalt, said scheduled fuel shipments to its plant in Moa, in the province of Holguín, will not be made and that there is currently no timeline for when deliveries will resume. Sherritt is the biggest foreign investor in Cuba.
