Ternium restarts Mexico mine operations after hiatus when activists disappeared

Steelmaker Ternium said on Wednesday it had resumed operations at an iron-ore mine in Mexico after a more than five-month hiatus sparked by clashes between the firm and local community over the disappearance of two environmental activists.

"We have received a request to restart our operations from the community," the firm said in a statement, adding the company had a respectful relation with the missing activists, who were both community leaders.
