Venezuela protest halts gold mine output

May 7, 2008

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) - Hecla Mining Co. says Venezuelan workers are blocking the entrance to its Isidora gold mine, suspending operations.

The Idaho-based silver and gold miner says as many as 30 workers have camped in front of the mine's entrance in Venezuela's southern Bolivar state, closing it for eight working days.
