Over the past six weeks, some reduced mining and milling activities took place, which will allow for a safe and efficient ramp-up to full operating levels within two weeks. As a result, we expect there to be minimal impact on our guidance.”

The Company is extremely disappointed that the unwarranted actions and threats of SAT, have continued at a time when the Company is focussed on protecting and preserving the employment and livelihood in Mexico of thousands of employees during the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic crisis.
“With the government of Mexico incorporating mining into the list of essential businesses that will be allowed to recommence activities on May 18th, we are preparing Peñasquito and our workforce for a safe, orderly and timely resumption of production,” said Tom Palmer, President and Chief Executive Officer.
