Centerra resumes operations at Kumtor
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Canada’s Centerra Gold has resumed operations at its Kumtor mine in Kyrgyzstan, where the government declared a state of emergency last week to protect the mine from protestors.
The company re-established road access to the mine on Saturday and national grid power has been restored.
“The mine and mill have resumed operations as truck convoys are now able to bring supplies and consumables to site and personnel can be moved to and from the mine,” Centerra said on Sunday.
The Toronto-headquartered mining firm said it did not expect the suspension to impact on its gold production target of between 550 000 oz and 600 000 oz from Kumtor this year.
The Kyrgyz government’s state of emergency, imposed on the northern district following clashes between police and protestors over Kumtor, is understood to continue.
