Toronto-listed junior Harte Gold on Tuesday reported its first Covid-19 workplace transmission at the Sugar Zone mine, near White River, with three cases among its workforce.

The company said that two of the three were asymptomatic.

The workplace transmission occurred in the mill facilities and operations had to be suspended as impacted crews self-isolate.

An incoming crew would start its rotation by the middle of this week, allowing for the mill to resume by Wednesday, Harte reported, stating that all stockpiled ore would be processed by the end of the week.

Harte closed at a 52-week low of C$0.10 a share on Tuesday.

The miner needs financing to expand its mine and boost production. Harte has engaged Scotiabank to assist in generating and evaluating financing and strategic alternatives with potential investors. Earlier this month, it opened its virtual data room to several interested parties.

Harte needs additional funding, as steady state production has been deferred to the end of the year.
