Utah Iron suspends mining operations amid ‘significant fluctuations’ in global market

CEDAR CITY, Utah (ABC4) — Utah Iron, one of Iron County’s largest employers, is suspending its mining operations at its Iron County facility, officials announced Wednesday.

The southern Utah company cited “significant fluctuations” in global markets that have created an unusual and strenuous amount of uncertainty for its buyers and sellers as the reason behind its decision.

“We are navigating uncharted waters with unfamiliar and seemingly insurmountable risks,” Utah Iron officials said in a press release. “While it pains us to suspend our mining operations, it is a necessary step while we regroup and adjust to current market pressures.”
