SAO PAULO, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Brazilian miner CSN Mineracao
SA said on Monday it has halted operations at its
Casa de Pedra mine due to heavy rainfall in southeastern Brazil,
adding that port operations at the Itaguai coal terminal were
also suspended.
The move adds to stoppages announced earlier in the day by
miners Vale and Mineracao Usiminas for the
same reason.
Shares in CSN Mineracao fell 2.2% in early morning trading,
while its parent-company Companhia Siderurgica Nacional
was trading down 3.8%.
