Reuters reported that shares in Australian listed iron ore developer Tawana Resources tumbled as much as 15% after the company said it was suspending much of its activities in Liberia due to a deadly Ebola outbreak.
Tawana, which is developing the Mofe Creek project near the Liberian coast, said it was halting all non essential field activities in the west African country after a state of emergency was declared this week.
Tawana said that all non essential local staff, contractors and expatriate staff will return to their homes in the coming week.
