London—Diversified miner Anglo American said Friday it was continuing production at some Anglo American Platinum, iron ore and coal facilities in South Africa following negotiations with the government and industry bodies on the terms of a 21-day lockdown, which took effect at midnight on March 26 to help curb the spread of the coronavirus in the country. Other Platinum installations are being put on care and maintenance, it said. In Peru, meanwhile, Anglo American has temporarily withdrawn the majority of employees and contractors from its Quellaveco copper project as the government has extended lockdown measures. In the UK, it has halted work on its Woodsmith fertilizers project after a lockdown was decreed in recent days.
