Fuel shortages force Sherritt International to temporarily suspend Cuban nickel-cobalt mining operations.

Sherritt International Corporation plans to suspend nickel and cobalt production in Cuba due to limited fuel supply. The company anticipates halting mining and processing operations at its Moa joint venture within the next week, conducting planned maintenance activities during the shutdown. Sherritt's refinery in Alberta has enough inventory to operate until mid-April; its Energas SA energy joint venture in Cuba is currently running as planned.
