IFM to appear in court in relation to Section 54 notice

International Ferro Metals (IFM) would on Monday appear in court in relation to a claim by the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) that the ferrochrome producer had not met all the requirements of a Section 54 notice issued to it last week. IFM said it had suspended production at its two ferrochrome furnaces and pelletiser on Wednesday in response to a Section 54 notice, following a health and safety incident where two employees had been exposed to carbon monoxide (CO) gas.
