Mining and processing operations have resumed at the Brucejack mine, in British Columbia, pursuant to a safety-first restart plan, gold miner Newcrest Mining reported on Wednesday.
Operations were suspended three-and-a-half weeks ago, following the death of a team member from mining contractor Procon.
"The devastating incident at Brucejack is a stark reminder that safety must always be our number-one priority as a business. During the suspension of operations we reviewed all activities at Brucejack to identify major hazards and corresponding critical controls to prevent fatalities and life-changing injuries,” said MD and CEO Sandeep Biswas.
The production, cost and capital expenditure guidance for Brucejack remained unchanged.
