After a promising weekend turnout of workers at its platinum mines, Lonmin expressed hopes more will clock in on Monday as talks resume after violence that claimed 44 lives.
Operations at Lonmin mines have ground to a halt since August 10 when the rock drill operators started a vigil on a hill, demanding a 300-percent pay rise.
Lonmin said it expects the bulk of its 28 000 workers to report for duty while it tries to work out a deal with the 3 000 rock drill operators who launched a wildcat strike more than two weeks ago. The world's number three platinum producer said 57 percent of workers had reported for duty on Saturday at one of its two sets of shafts.
